I know nothing

I would disagree
I doubt there are many cities in the UK that aren't multi-cultural since the 1970s. They aren't all dumps. So you must be making a false correlation
And in Europe? I spent a week in Malmo last month, supposedly one of the most multi-cultural cities in Sweden and it was lovely. We stayed in Rosengard too, so it wasn't like we were shielded from the multi-cultural areas
If a city is a dump it's far more likely because of under investment and lack of long-term planning. There is probably a much stronger correlation between somewhere being a dump and poverty levels (and also quite likely a handful of very very rich property owners laughing all the way to the bank)

I watched a programme about North Philadelphia USA last night...fcuking wow...Derby is a Paradise compared to that place, My council tax goes to South Derby's district council, I use all Derby City Council facilities 😊 
Derby is just a little tired looking, City council planning is now more focussed on building multi story blocks of apartments to pull the cash in, An eyesore...imo is the one on Victoria street so so out of place, The one on Gower street is a tip, The old DRI where there's a new development are being snapped up by buyers so they can let them, Already complaints of owners/tenants at loggerheads.
Green lane has gone down hill if you walk from the top of it 😁 drug users at the top of it, Empty shops at the bottom, Saint Peter's street to Irongate is the main thoroughfare you cant help but notice the beer swillers on the benches opposite East street.
No Derby is no sh!t hole far from it.
“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”      
 

generally all busy towns/cities that are diverse and multi-cultural are dumps.

I hate these lists. 
One list of the 15 most beautiful cities to visit in the UK actually includes Nottingham, but doesn’t include Chester, my home town. 
Chester was recently voted the prettiest city in the WORLD, ahead of Venice. 
Derby has plenty to offer, trust me. 

Not hard to spot the Which? members, is it?😉
Seriously, there's some major pearl-clutching going on with some people. I couldn't argue that the city centre hasn't been badly neglected in recent years (thank you, Austerity George) or that the City Council of whatever hue are responsible for some awful planning decisions since WW2, but to describe the place as "feral" is utter hyperbole. 
I still go out in the city centre at night both with mates and with the missus and the 'threat' is marginal compared to central London at midnight or somewhere like Canning Town any time of day.

Holding our own, being hard to beat, staying clear of relegation trouble. Anything else would be a bonus.

What was that all about? Blokes walking round crowded pubs with trays of seafood snacks? I remember it being around late 1970's early 1980's?

So I hear the new James Bond is out.  All PC as expected. 🙄
Starts off as man, but by the end, "They" identify as a woman!  FFS, Whatever next! 🤐
Anyway... Cocktopussy is out 1st June... 

Yes, I know. 

look at this image for a short while then slowly close your eyes.  👀

There are cave drawings of that joke 😊

We’d get absolutely rinsed for doing this.
I personally think it should be reserved for winning the league or a cup. Saturday was fun enough.

Please, please, please, take some time to grieve over the summer and look after yourself 

I don't believe in the afterlife. I've never believed that anyone is literally looking down on us. 
However, sometimes something so pure as Daniel's love of Derby County can inspire a group of grumpy, cynical buggers by example.
I hope we can take that into next season. 
Be more B4
 

Try reading this whole topic from the start.
It'll save you from looking ignorant.

B4 believed when I, for one, had doubts and fears. He helped me through those dark days when I thought we'd lose the club. 
Thank you @B4ev6is.
Thank you David Clowes.
Thank you Warne, staff and players. 
Thank you everyone on here. 
B4 - we did it. The Rams are going up 🐏

Good luck for this afternoon, I hope you get it over the line for a number of reasons, and the odds are in your favour.
I hope you don't mind an outsider saying this, and I'm sure you all know this, but regardless of any euphoria or disappointment tomorrow, you'll all still be proud supporters - as b4 was, and is. As someone who read on here for a while before I registered/posted and saw lots of his comments when you were in a bad place;  I stand by the fact that whoever we support, we could all do well by being a bit more like him, when it comes to our clubs.

Thoughts on the match, pinched from the Carlisle forum.
I was the safe standing bit, I can’t stand the whole game my legs go numb but the railings were really good and can lean on them.  Wasn’t in great favour of safe standing but changed my mind.
“Bstand jnr was losing a bit of interest in all honesty over the last few games, which is totally understandable at 14 considering the s**** on show.
He's absolutely loved his trip today, came home bouncing and can't wait for next season to hopefully replace the "scenes" today.”
“the sound was deafening at times”
Probably one of the best atmospheres for a game of football that I've ever been at, the Derby fans when they did that 'jumping up and down' thing were phenomenal.
On a more positive note, I've been chatting to a few Derby fans tonight who were all very complimentary about the Blue Army. They were impressed with the numbers who came down and of the noise we made. I've no problem with Derby County. A proper football city and proper supporters. Good luck to them next year.
………..seemed like a real decent bunch who deserve a lot better, good luck to em.👍🏁

I knew for certain at about 0745 on Saturday morning that we were going up. The lift at Birmingham Airport to the monorail to get to the railway station told me so. A voice said "doors opening" and they opened. The voice then said "doors closing" and they closed. That same voice then said "going up". It was written in the stars with such a prophecy. The club would, absolutely guaranteed, be "in the lift" 😉
True story.

Think Louie might have been as well…
😂😂😂😂
