    Shame he can't just get his fingers stuck on his keypad, forever.

    My dad supported Derby and even though he died a couple of years ago, I look out for their results.

    Yep happy with Derby. If they come up with Cardiff without serious investment it’s hard to see past them taking two of the relegation places (anything can happen though as per Huddersfield)

    I like derby, only for the simple reason that they broke our record for being the ****est Prem team ever. An honour we've held twice

    Do you reckon Derbys is an all time low or can someone in the future be **** enough to do even worse?

    The record is pretty damn low. It'll take some beating. We set the standards with 19 and 15 then derby out did us. Be tough going to beat it.

    Can’t see it being broken unless a team goes almost bust and has to play a youth team for a whole season. Outside of the top six or seven the quality is so poor I’d back us to make double figures fairly comfortably.

    Yeah it’d be special to beat it. Think it was 1 win and 8 draws, would surely only be beaten by a point of 2 if at all

    Yeah that’s a good point, there’s not really been a team that gets so beleaguered this year, Sunderland last year and Villa before that but not the record breaking levels. Teams taking point off each other left right and centre

    Squads depth is much better now with the money available. Back when Derby racked up 8 points their entire squad was weak and now the Championship is much stronger imo, so they're coming up with a better standard of players. The wages on offer at most Championship clubs will be better than most Ligue 1 and Eredivisie clubs can offer.

    All 3 promoted teams staying up this season, with 118 points between them so far.

    I enjoyed that as they beat us on pens in the play off semi.
