Proper. Great tune as well.

This week is dragging already.

Who is DCFC Lee? 

I personally don't think Clowes should win it. Just not appropriate,  this award is about ordinary fans.

Clowes deserves all the accolades for what he did (last season, actually) bit in a different arena to this one.

Fair.

See Kernow's response re Lee. He's a proper fan who saved up to come over for a couple of games, and he made Derby Twitter very wholesome for a little while. His (illegal) live tweeting of the goals is a great service for fans that can't watch the full game live too.

But obviously I'm voting for our mate!

Presumably the mathematical probability of us going up is better if it's just Bolton that we have to fend off, even if it's a little scarier if they have something to play for and Posh don't.

Check out the Bolton forums. Many calls for Evatt to go. They want practical winning football not occasionally brilliant but ultimately failing football.
who would be a football manager !
  

Think he comes across as a bit arrogant at times as well, which is always going to rub people up the wrong way when you don't meet expectations.

Would love B4 to win it, but Twitter is calling for Clowes (or DCFC Lee). Any of the three would be worthy winners.

Not a new video, but the club tweeted it out today. Great watch.

We’d be getting the mother of all rallying cries this week! Good job he trained us so well that we know exactly what he’d say.

Merlin has Sky I think

The problem with David Clowes is I think he would cringe and be uncomfortable, if we started singing to him on any sort of regular basis.

Better show our appreciation through the tills at Pride Park.

Buy that programme you'll never read, that pint you don't enjoy, that season ticket you'll barely use etc etc. 

If everything is going our way Saturday, a quick burst of "ole, ole, ole, ole David Clowes, Clowes, Clowes", towards the end of the game probably wouldn't embarass him too much, mind.

 

Has he ever said he'd dislike it? I know he's not one to seek publicity, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'd hate a song. Correct me if I'm wrong, but just never seen anything myself that would suggest that.

Thank you @dcfc the 1 4me! I hope you get well soon too. Just bumping this up for everyone in case they missed it...

Cheers Duracell - ticket swap arranged. My brother and I get to go in the South Stand so it's a win-win for everyone!

King Richard, Netflix, the amazing story of Venus and Sabrina Williams beginnings and their father Richard's obsessive and sometimes disturbing plan to turn two of his 5 daughters into tennis legends. It lags at times but does give a pretty honest picture, warts and all, of what he did to achieve his dream for them. Taribo West 7.5

Perfect aeroplane film.

Give him the freedom of Derby

Mums do epic stuff. Gotta love your mum.

Hmm. Spilt red wine on the carpet earlier and received an absolute earful.  

Brilliant, just brilliant.

I don’t know what we’ve done to deserve all this good karma, but just when you think they have the upper hand on us, we pull ourselves together and they embarrass themselves in front of the whole country.

The spirit of Fawaz lives on.

Very much hope @DarkFruitsRam7is right with this fine thread and hasn't gone too soon. And, yes, I was going to post Martine too, but beaten to it. And a big happy birthday to @Ellafella! 

Our moments seem so very rare because we do have an amazing propensity to throw it away at the death. Because of which I'm a little surprised at the confidence on the forum this last couple of weeks - but so far justified. I'm not counting any chickens until the fat lady has sung at Pride Park on Saturday. After which I hope to revel with the rest of you in a perfect moment. I've only seen two promotions live before - Palace and the playoffs. Very much hoping for a hattrick! 

As I can't post Martine, here's a much more inspiring vocal to get Rams pulses racing. For this one moment in time... 

 

I have just been thinking, I hope I haven't gone too early. I'm having horrible visions of being rinsed on Twitter by Forest fans, like @David was by Leeds a few years back (still my favourite day ever).

Sadly Forest will survive due to other teams being inept

Isn't it great that it doesn't really matter though. In recent years, we've had to cling onto the hope of Forest failing because there's been so little to celebrate. I obviously want Forest to go down, but them staying up won't even register compared to the jubilation we should feel on Saturday.

'DERBY COUNTY!!!!!!!!', they couldn't even beat us when they won the 1st Div (Premier League) title all those years ago. 

Just realised, there will probably be a few of their fans at the game on Saturday who saw us win it in 1975 too!

9 hours ago, angieram said:

I agree. It's months out of date! Their X feed is more relevant really.

I'm thinking about contacting them in the summer to see if they want a hand with their content. I think a group like this is massively needed since @TomBustler1884's lot packed it in a few years back.

I just hope they're not self-important barstewards like Black and White Together. Am I right in remembering them making a formal statement calling for Warne to go? The arrogance!

@superdave, not sure if this was the plan anyway, but he should consider throwing a few Derby songs onto his setlist. It's what Jamie Webster started doing for Liverpool fans, and it did wonders for his career and led to this. Mega.

I've no idea, saw the ones waving flags yesterday and didn't recognise any of them. Believe they are all South Standers, though, and hang out in The White Horse with Joey Greener pre-match. 

They are fairly organised, have a website and all. 

I think they're doing a great job so far.

Good to see. But the marketer in me can't resist saying they need a better website!

Dear Paul Simpson, hope you are reading this blog and still have some love for Derby County (the team you made most appearances during your 679 playing career total). Please do not turn up at Pride Park with the intention of ruining the party. Play your fringe players and youngsters, get them ready for next season in League Two.

Afterwards (providing Carlisle do not win) go and milk the applause from the Derby Fans, whom a lot of them will remember you playing for the Rams in the Artur Cox/Roy McFarland/Jim Smith times.

Was going to say Carlisle fans might not like him milking it, but I expect they'll buy into the party atmosphere. Unless they've turned on him this season - anyone know?

I don't know the best place to post this, but atmosphere is a big part of these last few games, imo. 

Popside fanatics are doing a great job alongside Nick with increasing the visual displays - we even had flags away at Pompey! Of course, this all costs money, so if anyone appreciates the displays and can help by chipping in a small amount, here's the link.

 

The presence of this group has completely passed me by. Probably because I see less Derby-related tweets now Twitter has gone down the TikTok route of showing you what the algorithm thinks you'll like, rather than posts from people you follow.

Are any "Twitter famous" Derby fans involved?
