Often you will hear some pundits wax lyrical about Clough Senior or Steve Mac, but its almost as if they are trying to show someone that they have a clue or have done the background reading. Perhaps Mel should make us play in light blue or something. Just to prove my point about us being 'unfashionable' ...... three days later and the BBC still haven't bothered to update our club page, apparently GR has just asked to speak to Stoke .... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/derby-county Lampard would be a big risk, but he would at least help on this front.

A Spurs fan once asked me when Derby County 'last mattered'. He seemed utterly confused by my answer: They matter to me every day and I don't care if nobody else even knows they exist.

TigerTedd Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It’s on the stoke page, cos they’re a bigger more popular club of course: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/stoke-city wouldnt take much effort just to add that link to our page.

AndyinLiverpool Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 All this 'the BBC hates us' stuff just smacks of feelings of inadequacy to me. It's the same feeling that develops into enlargement surgery, the purchase of a BMW or invading Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strategic mistake I feel. A non-aggression pact with Burton on Trent will be needed during the initial assault on Long Eaton, Attenborough, Beeston (who will likely greet us as merciful liberators) before an undoubtedly much longer battle for control of the Trent and Fawazgrad. Once threats from east have been secured we can march on to conquer the riches of Staffordshire and bring Rowett queen of stokies to justice.

Oh but it's so different now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44376097 'Derby County will face Reading in Frank Lampard's first game in charge of the Rams when the 2018-19 Championship campaign starts in August. The match at the Madejski Stadium, on Friday, 3 August (20:00 BST), will kick off the English Football League season.' (Oh yeah, and here are the other matches.) I am also loving having the Rams manager as a World Cup pundit. Start of happy days I hope.?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
