DarkFruitsRam7 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Seen this on twitter, so thought I’d bring it to the forum. If you could only choose one team to win on Saturday, would it be Derby or England? For me, the answer is easy. I’d much rather England beat France in a World Cup Quarter Final and have the whole country go mad than Derby win a random league game.

Did they just decide we were the two best teams left and told everyone else to go home? But yeah England all day. England winning the World Cup is only beaten by Derby winning the Prem/FA Cup/any European Trophy. As we're not realistically competing for any of them, our games have taken a back seat until England go out.

If the question were England win or Derby make the playoffs, then I'll take Derby. But I'd take England winning the World Cup over Derby getting promoted for the reasons you say, EVERYBODY is stoked and excited and I just love that.

Tamworthram Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 100% Derby. If there was a clash, I'd record the England game and try to avoid seeing the result. Steve How Hard?, SKRam, 48 hours and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) I've already read terms such as "Everybody" and "The whole country" etc... That for me is the crunch. Why should folk be allowed to just stroll in once every 4 years, and take part in the positivity? Many of whom won't know the offside rule, or what year England won the WC, or what 2 teams played in "The white horse final"!. They won't know who Geoff Hurst effectively replaced in '66. They won't realise that the vast majority of the cast of "Escape to Victory" were yer actual, real life footballers... icons in some cases... legends to many! They won't know that Bury were winning cup finals by 6 goals decades, and decades, and decades before Man bloody city were doing it! They won't know who held the FA Cup for the most consecutive years (Trick question... but a good 'un!) They won't have a clue who Mr S Bloomer was (More than just a Rams legend!), or that a keeper once played on in a cup final with a broken neck! What does "First division champions actually mean?" They'll cry. "Charlton reached the '46 cup final despite losing to Fulham in a 3rd round tie? Don't be so ridiculous!", they'll screech! These are football facts... for football fans! Pwoper Football fans take the flak. They suffer immensely... and fully deserve to party on, when their team hit the highs. These are the folk I wanna be partying with! I don't want to be partying with hangers on! I don't even want to be talking football with folk that have never been to a professional game in their lives. "Ooh... how nervy were those penalties eh? What about that Henry Kane, eh? Ha, ha, did you see Emma Bappy's face!" Feckorf! Duck 'em! Duck 'em all! Oh... did I not say? Derby for me! ?

Mr Tibbs Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 England. We can afford to lose to Burton and still win the league. No room for manoeuvre with England. kevinhectoring, jono, popside ossie end popside and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand wanting Derby to win a a trophy or promotion more than England, but I can't wrap my head around a December league game against bottom of the league meaning more than a World Cup Quarter Final against France. Maybe it's because me and my mates make a huge deal out of it and will be watching in a busy pub. Either way, it's going to be a cracking day of football (and beer).

Srg Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It's club before country for me, but as @DarkFruitsRam7has said, if it's a WC Quarter Final or a random league game, you're taking the quarter final. If the question was would you rather Derby go up or England win the World Cup, the answer is probably very different for me. angieram, kevinhectoring, DarkFruitsRam7 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
