Preston got there when they played us last July. I was puzzled at the time how they'd got there so long before us. All down to which divisions you've spent most time in of course.

Try to buy Derby County with no money.

So, if I’ve got my maths right, the 8th game of the 22/23 season will be our 5,000th league game, wow, that’s really something. Wonder if the marketing men will create a special souvenir shirt for that game...I’d buy one. ? 

So after 133 years of playing football, we've averaged a very "meh" 1.4 points per game. Mid-table.
Just about sums us up, really.
I blame Keogh

Perhaps WR will read it and it'll inspire him to stay and try himself.
Reading that Ancelotti wants to stay at Everton for new stadium at least in 2024 and United after Ole may go for a non United man next time. So who knows what might happen...

I wouldn’t worry for now. Wazza still has a lot to prove and is still learning his trade, not the finished article yet.

Even family members of mine with next to no interest in football still talk about that period, it must have been unreal to be a part of as a fan.
Obviously the football was different class but just as interested in the matchday experience as that season went on. Where folk stood, memories of opposition fans, matchday rituals, media reaction at the time, amusing chants/songs, anything however (seemingly) trivial. Be great to read from you all when it gets up & running ?

That is a wonderful idea. I was lucky enough to have experienced it
 Beating all the top sides easily
 quality football
 cracking players who gave 100% every game
 Packed  BBG
 Brian Clough and Peter Taylor

Walloping a side like that 6-0 on aggregrate over 2 League matches that season ?
Later this year we'll be celebrating 50 years since our first League title winning season & it'd be great to have a dedicated thread with the matches as they happened exactly 50 years previously. Sure I can dig out the old DET match reports but even better to overlay with memories from the lucky sods on here who were there to witness it ?

We used to beat (and thrash) every team in those days

Stevie Powell - boy wonder a total ram 

Toddy was a class act in every single game he played for us

Lovely striker partnership. A pleasure to have seen them in rams  shirts

Colin Todd debut.

I really enjoy checking this thread!
This didn't jump out in my memory at all like most forest Derby games do. Just watched the highlights back and it came flooding back to me.
Let's hope CKR can dominate them tonight the way Rasiak did that season!
Well worth a watch:
