    For me, 35,000 derby fans singing "f*** the EFL" at Wembley as we lift the trophy would be among the most glorious moments of my 50 years supporting the Rams.
    In advance I'd like to apologise to David Clowes for any difficulties that may bring, but it has to be done if the opportunity arises, to register our feelings in front of a global television audience would just to be too much to resist.

    So for me to suggest that as fans we should sing "f*** the efl" as we lift the play off trophy at Wembley wouldn't be helpful then

    I don't think I'll be able to go either, but as I'm not an Ipswich or Barnsley fan I can't imagine it matters too much anyway.

    if doing 60 on an empty motorway should lose your license. You should lose yours every time you happen to tip slightly over 30.

    I am so pleased to hear that, so thanks to you and @rebb1 and yes, we should all let Rams TV know how much we'd love that.
    To those of you worried about his 'bad back', it may be time to just it go and give a massive hand-clap to a Derby great.
    And i use the word 'great' advisably. 
    He is a legend.

    Prevented chants of ‘Cox out’ as well which would have been both heartbreaking and funny at the same time.
    Cox’s team will always be my Derby County, travelling all over the country watching his bunch of warriors. What a great time that was. Phil Gee through Burridge’s legs, George Williams scrapping on the goal line at Stoke, Bobby…always Bobby.
    They were the days when new signings actually improved the team. Chandler to Callaghan, McClaren to Gregory, Davison to Saunders, Hindmarch to Wright, Wallington to Shilton… you could go on. 

    I agree. Let’s have more Cox. Something this forum manages to do on a daily basis so why not @Owen87ITK. A 5 part series is definitely called for. Didn’t Radio Derby do a big feature with him a couple for years ago? Sure they did. Remember his Wallington playing at Ipswich with a broken finger/hand story. 
    Great days.

    I can confirm that; I've had the pleasure of speaking with him at The Old Vicarage too. He is a really great old-school gentleman who refused politely to tell me anything "juicy" about eg Maxwell although he did tell me some very funny anecdotes involving helicopters with Maxwell's leg hanging out. Arthur really is a diamond gentleman. It's time Rams TV caught up with him. Can anybody @Owen87ITK make that happen. I think Arthur generally ticks the "No publicity" box but surely we need to pour some love on him for what he did?

    At least not that I'm aware of.
    Sorry if that headline seems insensitive, but it may look like clickbait if I just post his name when he's ok.
    I'm just interested if anybody has info on Arthur - or even, journalistic speculation Colin?
    It all went south at the end, but that man is up there with Clough, Mackay and TBE as the greatest Rams managers in my lifetime.
    I had some of my happiest Derby memories (and I watched all the home European games) watching that team rebuild in the 3rd division.
    Maybe it was the fact that, as now, we had sunk so low and Arthur dragged up back up again because Clough's team was harder to break down, Mackay's more likely to put 4 past you, and Jim's more likely to attack you with pace on the counter, but I just loved that team.
    For those of you old enough to remember Kevin Wilsons explosive start to that season, how shocking was it that Coxy promptly sold him?
    Stunning and dumb eh?

    Dumb like a fox when he used the money to bring in Micklewhite and, was it Gregory? Callaghan maybe? I dunno, come on stat fans, enlighten me who he used that money on!
    I was listening to an interview with Robert Lee the other day and he was complaining at how poor Newcastle were at honouring old heroes. Derby are quite good in fairness and maybe AC wants his privacy, but duck me, I'd love to see the man introduced to the PP crowd. I'd even drive up from Cornwall to see it.
    I just hope he's well as I know he had major back issues even when he was manager.

    It came about through necessity at the time, and coincided with our unbeaten run and excellent defensive performances, it’s not exactly a case of “isn’t Warne mad”, more “it was good coaching and use of the squad during a difficult time, however now we have other options let’s use him further forward”
