Leicester fan, not in peace, but to slap some life into you sorry lot.

Are you sure it is Leicester you don't care about?

'It costs too much, I don't care if we win or not, I think we will lose 5-0, I only care if we lose to Leeds or Forest.'

It sounds pretty much like it's Derby County you don't care about. For me, I'm pished off is we lose to anybody. I suppose if you have this negative, couldn't care less mindset then you will find people singing songs, building games up, waving scarves and wanting their team to win strange.

Are we local rivals? Well yes, of course we are. There is only around 30 miles between the respective grounds and we are rival teams in the same division. Both statements of fact. Am I more exciting by this game than the one the week after against Barnsley? Truth be told...not much. Derby haven't put up much of a fight recently and I'm expecting a bog standard win.

Some people will feel differently though. Some people will live near Derby, some people will work with Derby fans. It probably means more to them in the same way as my personal local rivals are Wolves and West Brom due to where I live.

I used to feel differently. The games in the 90s were electric. Both Leicester and Derby were going for promotion at the same time and circumstances and locality produced the best 'derby' games I have experienced. Anyone who says this is not true were not at these games to experience it. Not any more though.

I think because Leicester so comprehensively bettered Derby in the 90s and early 00s you lot have given up trying to fight and instead have retreated into a poor facsimile of Forest delusion and arrogance. It's not very convincing...I think you should stop.

Let's hope the 800 committed fans on Saturday show a bit more commitment to their club than you lot.

Good luck for the season. (after Saturday)

i dont about you lot.

i hear derby is full of racists, were proud to be multicultural; i just hope you don't chant racist songs tomorrow

Reading through your posts I thought you sound like you don't know what day it is. I guess I was pretty close to the mark with that assumption...

I f**ling hate you Foxes, because you're our biggest rivals. I can't stand you!!!

I have a picture of Julian Joachim on my dart board and a voodoo doll of Casper Schmicheal!!!

There now, do you feel better that you're interesting enough as a club for someone for someone to give a toss...

Right, at the expense of my name becoming increasingly inaccurate, I'm compelled to post again.

I'm sure people on here won't agree with me but I don't think Derby or Forest are bigger clubs than Leicester. Both have had a very successful period in the 70s which flatter the size of the clubs. I think fanbase wise things are probably pretty even. I think the clubs are much of a muchness but Leicester have probably under-achieved while Derby and Forest and had a period of over-achieving.

I get the point that Derby and Leicester are not competing on a level playing field at the moment. We are lucky to have our owners who seem determined to fulfil their promises and are investing in infrastructure and youth as if they mean to stick around. I can sympathise with Derby though. With the likes of Wigan, Reading and Swansea making the Premier League regularly it seems like a lot of medium sized clubs are being pushed out. It isn't just Derby, the likes of Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and similar clubs have fallen from grace, and not so long ago Leicester made an unprecedented fall into League One. Although that seems a long time ago now.

If we do get to the Premier League, I would rather be playing Derby and Sheffield Wednesday than Wigan and Reading.

well four posts only, of course youre going to think leicester are a bigger club (being a fan of them) i think derby are a bigger fan, for the same reasons.

but if you asked a neutral they'd probably say we're the same size.

You say this match means nothing to you.So im assuming you make accounts to all the championship teams fan forums to tell them aswell that they mean nothing.On all types of Social media its embarassing how needy your fans are to be our rivals(Even gary L got involed).Ovbiously i would like to beat you on saturday just like i would like to beat every team we face but when playing forest we are not just getting 3 points we are getting months of bragging and a hold over them.Most derby fans come from and live in derby inwhich there is hardly any leciester fans.As if they dont support derby they are probally glory supporters man u etc.I work near nottingham and in my office its mixed forest and derby.The brian clough road shows the connection between the cities.I want to beat you for 3 points not so i can wait for the possibiltiy of meeting one leciester fan to tell him "Ha we won".

In terms of your clubs.Forest and Derby are bigger clubs than Leciester in terms of history,natural fan base(Not your Asian one)

Trophies.If i was a leciester fan i would be quite embarassed last season when you spent 15 million + and didnt even get in the Play offs.You also lost to leeds 1-0 last week how do you explain that.We would have beat them so what makes you think leciester will win this weekend.Your only good player is Nugent the rest are Man u reserves.Were have a team you just have overpayed individuals for this league no starting 11 just different players

Ever been to Normanton Road, Sinfin, Littleover, Sunny Hill or Pear Tree?

I know plenty of Asian and Black DCFC fans I would love it if you said that to their face. Are you saying ethnic minorties shouldn't be at football matches? What's your point exactly? Derby does not have any ethnic minorities? Is football still a white working class sport? Sounds like your just a typical racist keyboard warrior. Muppet try saying that on Saturday to some Asian lads at the game keyboard warrior.

I'll go with that, but stay out of the big club debate... if anyone supported the club they support on here because 'we're a big club' then you ****** up, ****** up really bad.

I supported Derby because I was born in Derby, big club or not... There are teams a lot smaller than us, there are teams that are a lot bigger than us. If you want to support a 'big club' go support A big club.. Derby, Forest and Leicester all are decent sized, not much between either - okay Leicester may not have had the following Derby or Forest have had, or the success but it's all relative - you gain supporters when you're doing well, and lose supporters when you aren't. Success comes when you have owners who can bankroll that success...
