uttoxram75 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Luton still have a mathematical chance this season but its unlikely there'll be another anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 What about the Toon (Saudi lot in the north east)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) Wolves and West Brom. Oh and Burnley won one. There are 14 teams with more title wins than Derby and 2 with the same title wins but more runner up spots than our 3, putting Derby 16th overall. Up till 2005 and 2013 respectively, we were ahead of the so called European superpowers of Chelsea and Man City and have won as many as 'the big club' Spurs.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 There are 24 clubs who have won the English title, including 7 who have won the Premier League (1992–present). The most recent to join the list were Leicester City (2015–16 champions) and before that, Nottingham Forest (1977–78) and Derby County (1971–72). Shows how rare it is and that Mr Clough was indeed the best manager of the last 50 years certainly RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I think that the OP is saying clubs that have won the league whilst their home town was indeed a town and not a city. Leicester for example was, and obviously still is, a city when they won the league. Derby was still a town when we won both of our titles. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Only 2 teams outside the cities of Liverpool, Manchester and London, have had multiple league champions since 1960. Us and the dirties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often mused whether we should be focussing all our shitz on the late great Queen Elizabeth, rather than Tommy Doc, for our fall from grace. richinspain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
