Think before tonight we hadn't beat them at home since 84 or summat daft like that. The poster mentioned it's typical of them to hand out an olive branch for teams in bad form. I think he just presumed we hadn't won in a while because we nearly slipped out of the top 6 and tried to cover himself. But who cares because we beat them 4-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WystonRam Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Message received from a Hull friend, Hi (my name edited for anonymity purposes) Derby have turned out to be a nemesis for Hull this season. Our only home defeat to date and our biggest away defeat. Derby have accounted for nearly a quarter of all the goals we have conceded in the league. I think the play offs are the best we can hope for now. We may yet meet again before the end of the season!!!

WystonRam Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hull Daily Mail report http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Derby-County-4-Hull-City-0-Tigers-embarrassed/story-29057271-detail/story.html#ixzz452sKU5sC If the weekend win over Bristol City was credited with keeping Hull City's automatic promotion hopes alive, a disastrous trip to Derby County left a fading pulse increasingly hard to trace. On an evening that saw Burnley, Middlesbrough and Brighton all collect points to increase their lead on the Tigers back in fourth, a humiliating loss at the iPro Stadium felt like a knock-out blow to Steve Bruce and his side. The stumbles of March did the greater damage to ambitions of an instant return to the Premier League but a third consecutive away defeat – and heaviest loss of the campaign – has now left City with Everest to climb in April if the play-offs are to be avoided. An ominous seven-point gap was carved open by Bradley Johnson's first-half brace, condemning the Tigers to a first defeat in six league visits to Derby's current home. Once Moses Odubajo had been dismissed early in the second half to effectively banish any lingering hope of a comeback, the late goals of Chris Martin and Craig Bryson compounded a truly wretched night in the East Midlands. Even the disastrous losses at Leeds, Rotherham and Preston in December had nothing on this demoralising defeat. A fixture that Bruce had called the biggest of the season ended with City freezing like rabbits in headlights. Their failings were stark. The optimists will point, with good reason, to the run-in now facing City. Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently in 12th, are the highest ranked opponent left to face. There are seven more shots at redemption for a team that topped the championship at the end of February but the gap – and City's form – does not bode well. The Tigers will head to Huddersfield closer to seventh than second place. City's emphatic victory over Bristol City now feels like a false dawn but it made Bruce's team selection a simple one. The same XI that had dismantled the Robins were entrusted with repeating the trick against a Derby side that has staggered through much of 2016. The Rams, who climbed top of the Championship when winning at the KC Stadium in November, needed a victory to cling on to a place in the top six, but could at least cling to a run of three consecutive wins on home soil under Darren Wassall, a one-time team-mate of Bruce. The significance of the fixture was clear but neither side showed any trepidation during a high-tempo opening. Tom Ince, who left City for £5m last summer, was first to threaten when wildly volleying Cyrus Christie's cross back from where it came, before the winger claimed for a penalty when tumbling inside the box. City, too, produced their own moments of promise. Moses Odubajo's run in behind the Derby defence was picked out by the lofted pass of Tom Huddlestone before cutting inside two challenges and drilling low into the side netting. Derby goalkeeper Scott Carson was called upon to make his first save soon after. Robert Snodgrass' looping cross was unconvincingly headed on by Richard Keogh, allowing Sam Clucas to test Carson with a header of his own. The City winger, who was passed fit after injury concerns, then sent a long-range drive narrowly wide of the target. City could be cautiously content with their efforts through the opening quarter, having studiously taken the sting out of Derby's attack. But all that changed – irreversibly so – in the 29th minute. An uncharacteristic slip from Curtis Davies was pounced upon by Craig Bryson down the Derby right and though the midfielder's cross was turned on to the post by Chris Martin, City's respite was short-lived as Johnson smashed in the loose ball from 10 yards out. The opener instantly turned the game upside down. The Tigers were suddenly panicked, unable to contain the infectious energy of their hosts. Ince dragged a shot wide as City's plan for counter-attacking football unravelled. A second Derby goal predictably arrived seven minutes before the break. Opening their visitors up down the left flank, a sweet passing move ended with Ince squaring for Johnson to double his tally with a powerful finish past the helpless Allan McGregor. If City had become a disorganised mess defensively, there was little to encourage a comeback in attack. Aluko's inability to hold up play invited pressure on, while Mo Diame fluffed two good openings. One was an embarrassing miscontrol inside the box, the other a hopeless shot high into the stands. Any belief garnered at the weekend appeared decimated by Derby's two goals in nine minutes. Bruce was left with little choice but to introduce Abel Hernandez, going for broke when replacing left-back Andy Robertson, but it was Derby who strengthened their already tight grip 10 minutes after the break. Once City had lost possession on the halfway line, a cute pass from Bryson sent Ince galloping clear in behind Odubajo. The right-back had been outpaced on the blind side and a tug back on the former City man left referee Tony Harrington with little option but to brandish a straight red card. The only blessing was that the resulting free-kick was sent harmlessly over by Martin. Derby were urged on to deliver humiliation upon their guests. Ince sent a free-kick narrowly wide, while Christie advanced from deep to send a drive over the bar. A City side pepped up by the introductions of Ahmed Elmohamady and Shaun Maloney plugged away for a route back into the game but Carson's impressive stop, keeping out the volley of Clucas, preserved Derby's two-goal advantage. Maloney had another chance to pull City back into the game, dragging wide at the back post, but the decisive third belonged to Derby. Martin was allowed to shoot from the edge of the box, bearing McGregor with a crisp effort low down. McGregor spared City's blushes with a double save to keep out Ince and then Bryson but plenty of the away supporters were already on their way back up the M1 when Bryson completed the rout with a close-range finish. Thoughts will already have been turning to a play-off campaign for those unfortunate 1,227 fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WystonRam Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Strange view for the Sheffield Wednesday forum Early Kick Off today so the Matchday thread is early too. TODAY’S OPPOSITES Derby is the smaller brother of Nottingham and Leicester, always being difficult in the supermarkets and being hard to find. Derby's exact location is unknown to everyone, including its inhabitants. Most of them have lived there for generations, living on a diet entirely of grass. Although it has never been documented for anyone to breed outside of first-cousinship, it is widely believed to have happened. The tradition of having such control over their gene pool is one of the only things that people from Derby can boast about. The other thing Derby can boast is the good relationship between humans and sheep. The official flag of Derby. It’s Latin motto translates as; “At last! The sheep are here!” Butchering a sheep in Derby is a corporal-punishment offence. Unusually however, many Derby people see this sort of punishment as being kinky as opposed to a real enforcement of the law. Sheep have made the argument that if they did truly have equal rights, the enforcement of the law would be prison, just like it would for murdering a human. This appeal was rejected largely due to the fact that it would be unfair to jail sheep in the case of one killing a human, and when sheep get corporal punishment it is rather more entertaining to watch them try to hold a whip with their hooves. Amazingly, Derby is the only county in the United Kingdom to have almost no crime whatsoever. Scientists believe this is down to muggers being too scared to rob anyone, due to the fact that everyone carries knifes, shanks or better. Obviously other crime does happen in Derby - it’s just that everyone there hates the police, so none of it is ever reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsRam Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 And Derby with the generic, Palaarse, Watford, Leicester, plastic club chant. Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh, Clap Clap Clap, Oh Oh Oh etc etc etc till the super Owls drowned the f*****s out with proper chants. Brilliant We showed em how to bounce They livened up second half to be fair but thought we were fantastic Jesus Christ I've not known it like that for a very long time. All 3,000 belting their hearts out for 90 minutes solid. Sounded brilliant. Give yourself a pat on the back, showed them sheep sh××××rs how to bounce properly. Could you imagine the noise we would make at a packed out Wembley. Decent fans, always are but dunna disappear up your own backsides lads. Even the Owls cant own Wembley - it doesn't work like that. You would know, if you had ever been. !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sheff Weds fans are another level for deluded, I'll admit they were good today and looked lethal on the break in the first half. But "we should have had 5, we destroyed em and hope we play them at wembley"... christ on a bike And that they also have the best midfield in the league, bannan is the best midfielder in the league...

StaffsRam Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Whoever ends up finishing third out of Boro, Burnley or Brighton will effectively get a bye into the final. Bad news for us, looks like we'll have to do it the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
