We're Derby County, we're in the top two

Whilst not as catchy as 'we're top of the league', for me moving two points  further clear of Brighton was as important as moving above the non-playing Boro.

As the lovely #Duracell pointed out after the game, no-one remembers who wins the Championship, you just know you went up.

This year I would be happy to miss the glory of the title and the drama of the play off final and coast through in second place.

Finishing first or second has very little relevance the moment the season is over. I mean, I guess it would be nice to say we were the best team in the Championship in X season, but the PL is a different ball game.

Of recent winners, QPR. Reading and Cardiff have come straight back down whereas runner-ups Norwich, Southampton and Hull managed to stay up.

I'd bank on Watford finishing higher than Bournemouth this season too.

Just to be different I want the play offs again, the whole Wembley drama thing. Yes you don't get as much time to prepare for the PL and yes it can be a right bitch on the heart but what a way to go up. Win it v QPR and keep our share of the ticket money. Perfect.

2nd place you don't even get a trophy, meh!

We are going up and we are keeping any players that we want to keep. See Mel...What a Guy  for details.

We do not need the money, we are about to get £130 million, hopefully.

That was last season. This season it's going to be worth between £150m and £180m.

So you'd rather finish 3rd than 2nd?
