I wonder if any of us will believe it if the preferred bidder is announced tomorrow morning on April Fools Day ?

We are rock bottom 

No confidence, just blind faith and bearing in mind I'm rubbish at predicting scores I'm going for a nerve wracking 2-1 win for us - frgs, Ravel, though I'm rubbish at predicting that too ?

I think I'm a positive person generally but I fear the worse for our club from what I've read in the last few days and I'm more worried now than I was when we almost went bust in the 80's as I always felt that a deal for our survival would be done back then but sadly I don't have that feeling now as it seems unlikely to me that Middlesborough and Wycombe will drop their claims and I don't think player sales will bring in the amount necessary to see us to the end of the season and I doubt that anyone would lend us the money to see us to the end of the season either, knowing they might lose it all if we go under and as nobody seems willing to buy us with the two claims outstanding and the EFL's refusal to change their position regarding those claims, then I sadly think that we are witnessing the final days of the Derby County we all know and love - hopefully I'll be proved wrong though. ?

A tight 2 - 1 win for us to take us off the bottom of the table - fgrs Curtis

I think this was the right room for an argument.. 

Would that be the 5 minute argument or the 10? ?

The absolute irony of this post. This thread has been an absolute ghost town all season, but particularly since dodgy Mel finally got his  comeuppance ?

Must of the usual gobshytes from years gone are nowhere to be found anymore.. 

There's nothing worse than a sensitive knob ?

He seemed to walk off ok at the end with the other players. I think cramp most likely ?

Any news on his injury? Seemed to be a painful one and is typically unlucky that it was his last contribution before he was due to be substituted anyway.

I've read that it was cramp but it looked worse than that to me - fingers crossed I'm wrong though. 

Unfortunately I see another disappointing result coming as we rarely seem to win the 'big' games. I'm not good at predicting scores but I'm going for a draw of some sort.

Hi , i would be interested in 3 of them - the pride park one, the rams fan and access all areas - how much did you want for them ?

cheers

Sorry Nickj, being as there'd been little response I took them to a charity shop about a week ago - it was The British Heart Foundation in Ilkeston if you wanted to give them a ring to see if they still have any of them.

And even after all these years I still can't forgive Docherty for giving Forest Archie Gemmill as part of the deal. ?

I never liked what he did to us but but still wanted to spell his name right - fixed now.

Add John Middleton to that.

Happy birthday Charlie - my wife says I only remember her birthday as it's the same day as his ? it's really the other way round though but what a player, one of my all time favourites ?

Oh, I didn't realise - duh! ? Not one I ever had for some unknown reason ?

If you've got the book "Derby County the complete record", surely you don't need the rest? 

Maybe but I liked to support Breedon Books as I had a mate that worked there and they printed your name in the back of the book if you pre-ordered it and I liked that idea back in the day.

Where's the Morris Cook Book?

Do you mean the Cooking The Books book? ?

Looks like you are missing the best one ! Or have you decided to keep that one ? ?

No these are all of them though I gave some others to a friend a few years ago so maybe it was one of them - which one are you thinking of? 

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying my collection of Derby County books as shown in the photo? I'm moving house and massively downsizing so won't have anywhere for them other than a box in the loft ☹️ 

Thanks in advance to anyone that makes an offer and I'll contact the highest bidder when I'm back from a few days away (assuming someone makes a bid of course) 

If no-one bids then they'll go to a charity shop unless anyone can suggest something better. 

Cheers everyone. 

1-1 Jagielka

 More like Thomas ?

I wonder what the lowest ever points total for a Championship season is ?

In my opinion these fines are pointless and if the EFL really want to stop such behaviour then they should either ban all players involved for a few games or deduct points from the clubs as they say it's the clubs fault for not controlling their players. Either option would stand a better chance of success than a minimal fine.
