It's a monkey on our backs that will simply never go away. Ask yourself why on this very forum there is a new thread almost every season made discussing the hope that a team will actually break that unwanted record.

They'd be wrong. Doncaster certainly exist. I've seen them play. I'd assume all these people on the other side of the world have also seen the Jim Smith side which ripped Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool a new one on a pretty regular basis. 3 in a row against Liverpool if memory serves, so I doubt one dog s*** singular season is their only abiding memory of Derby County. Depends on age I remember when I was in Greece a few middle age guys us from when we were actually a good side . Under 30s will not know us or know us because of Rooney or how s**** we were in that season. I am going to be working in Vietnam soon for a year and my last Derby game before going will be Shrewsbury on Saturday, doubt many Vietnamese or Asian people will know much about Derby.An Italian kid when I was teaching in Italy did know of us but only because of Rooney, the young kids in Italy are starting to talk about Man City now, talking to the kids abroad you can see how trends change.

Derby County are the worst team in the most watched league in the world, therefore making them the worst team in history in their eyes. I've lived over the other side of the world for 25 years, and football really doesn't exist outside of the Premier League. You can take your Loughborough and Doncaster, but nobody really cares. They are non existent. You go to any country in the world and are asked who you support and say Derby County, and they will likely reply with a jibe about their pathetic record in that 2007/2008 season. Daughter met a Brazilian bloke the other day. Las Palmeiras fan. Asked who my daughter supports, and she said Derby. Oh yes, he replied..they hate Nottingham Forest. Nothing about 11 points. hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do Derby fans care about? Who gives a s*** what other teams fans think? Plus I think you exaggerate, why does it bother you so much that we have the record for worst points by a Premier League team - we were there. Why do football teams keep playing, shouldn't they be frightened about not winning?! I'm a Derby fan and I care about our history. If we don't go up this season we will set a new (unwanted) record of 3 consecutive seasons in the third tier. Our lowest ever run. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants a divisional worst record. However historically, it is not the worst team record. Historically wise, Derby are one of 19 clubs too have won 2 more more titles and are 13th most successful if you include runner up positions. Derby are the 13th best team over 140 years of the English league who had one really bad season which broke no records for the lowest point total overall. Guess I can live with that.

You really don't like losing an argument do you but you are embarrassing yourself now. I have strong suspicions your a Forest WUM the way your grasping at straws.
