The 8 most undeserved promotions in football history | FourFourTwo

2 out of the 8 are Leicester

1 against us - one goal should have been disallowed and the other assisted by someone who should not have been on the pitch grrr

1 extracting the Urine out of EFL rules as they now stand

1-0 to us - Captain Tom

Toddy is missing off that list

that was my first thought too

I would still have him - with squad numbers ltd would probably have him over Stearman as he can cover RB and CB

Charlie George's European Cup hat trick against Real Madrid. Not the only great game Charlie had but certainly a feat that is unlikely to ever be repeated! 

Bit harsh expecting there to be any chance of a repeat to be fair - he is 70 and it will be at least two years until we are in Europe - I know Real are on a bit of a lean patch at the moment, but us managing to set up a 72 year old three times is a bit of a stretch ?

Should be at least a retrospective red card for moving the arm towards the ball and stopping a goal scoring opportunity.

Now that is an interesting proposition

That's down to Sky pundits nailing him

On that logic that is OK then because we will get a retrospective penalty or two and win the game ?

I still stand by that I think it was clumsy and accidental rather than deliberate and malicious. He's regaining his balance after landing.

I agree

I think he led with the arm a bit for the header - maybe a booking

Under-rated for me. A solid right back who needs games. Really surprised someone else hasn't come in for him.

Totally agree with this one ?

I'd rather we'd kept Christie and £1M in the bank than sign Wisdom.

Malcolm ??? bit of a curve ball

OK I will have a go too

Underrated - Roos, Davies, Jags, Fozzy, Buchanan, Bird, Joz, Lawrence, Baldock, Stretton

Overrated - Byrne, Shinnie, Lawrence, Sibley, CKR, Festy

Rated about right - Beilik

I know I put Lawrence in both, but it depends who you talk to doesnt it the closest to Marmite a footballer has ever got, I think he is overated, but for 55 minutes yesterday he was awesome, keep it up Captain Tom

Really sad to put Sibley and Festy in Overrated but I think this is because we set up some of youngsters to fail with extremely high expectations

I think 11 to be fair - 100 minutes of play when we should have been able to hold on, and this was pre Jags and no real defenders on the bench

Against the Florists - I felt happy and content watching that game - which is rare for me watching a Derby game, although they bossed the stats I did not feel we were in trouble, their goal came just after Buchanan came on and I think communication between him and Forsyth could/should have been better, will say though very impressed with Lee going forward.

I also think we should have had 3 penalties - one of them and actual stone waller which should have made it 2-0 before half time.

As for Fozzy - I think I am in the minority here but I see it as a yellow for the leading arm and then an accident where he put his foot.

Still the jist of this thread I go with - from what I have seen we are playing better than last year

Cannot wait to add Bielik, Knight, Festy and CKR to the match day squad and love to see Watson get some minutes

Whispers (who cares about the embargo?)

Back in my day this was called 4-2-4

3-0 Jozwiak

I don't want to change the words, it was Sage suggested it but NO-ONE has answered how you can convert But-ter-cup to Der-by. It's bugging me! 

Lol I get how that could bug

Wasn't mean to point fingers though - just saying ?

Lots of suggestions but it has to be something everyone knows, or at least a big majority. 

Very few suggestions meet that criteria. Only @sage really come close so far. My only question is how you convert But- ter- cup to Der-by- ?

@DarkFruitsRam7 is the one you're suggesting the Lampard Leeds song? If so, I would be against for that reason. 

Need something timeless that is about us, not the opposition. 

I am not sure you have to change the words

In fact I think it works better left the same

You'll Never Walk Alone, Delilah, Hi Ho - for example

Just make it the club song - make it happen, not by changing the words - if you get me

Potentially, but Bird has performed like this before, it's just been so long  since we've seen it and the first time since Rooney became manager.

I think it might be key to Bird

Was his previous best not alongside Rooney ?

This may be the worst ref I've seen in at least 5 years.  Won the ball clean. 

I agree refs should not be tackling anyone

Didn't @Dethorn score on his debut at Anfield?  First game of season if I recall?

 

Went in off his arse, in a 4-1 defeat, and he went on to achieve absolute zero in the game, but wow, it was a lovely ar5e, to be fair!  

Love it

as the queen said

recollections may vary

I did once

It was a great dream - season opener away at Anfield if I remember it correctly

Weird heh

I'd forgotten that was the only game I'd attended that season as well when I was over on holiday. was fortunate to be living the other side of the world so was able to completely switch off from the entire season. My only other memory of watching a game that season was waking up in the middle of the night to watch the Newcastle home game.

So it was all your fault then - you needed to watch more games ?

1-0 Ravel
