People rightly expect the vermin to fall apart again, but what about Derby? They've had a very good squad for several seasons now, good support, well-run club....and yet summat is missing. They seem to have a lack of belief that they cam go up, or a feeling that they're gonna blow it. Which they seem to do every year.
I suggest you read more carefully, to avoid making daft comments yourself. I was replying to a comment about the Revie era and brown paper bags allegedly containing dosh.
Doubt Leeds will fall apart,good side spying or not,we shall see. Derby are a prime example of having everything set up for Premier league football except enough points come April. Play off winner maybe this time but wouldn’t be surprised if Fwank goes on garden leave if they fail again.
Every year I have backed Derby in a bet about who would go up from each division and who would be PL Champions. A couple of times I got 3 correct, Derby being the ones that let me down. This year I didn't back on them so expected to see them storm up. Wrong again.
I’m not defending this because I support Leeds, I’m just amazed at how it has been blown out of proportion. All teams do it, Jose did it and it’s documented whilst he was at Chelsea and whilst Lampard was playing. Charlie Nicholas said on Sky Sports it was common when he was a player. It isn’t illegal so the claims are what, it’s immoral? The press use long range zoom lenses trying to leak England team selections, Lampard was crying over it and his comments boarded racism, maybe he was unaware Jose used the same tactic. Maybe he forgot his moral conduct straight after 9/11 Scouts sit watching other games taking notes, we’re talking of a guy standing outside a training pitch watching a team train. The police turn up and release him as he hasn’t broken any law. It really is something about nothing so please don’t let all that hatred cloud common sense
It’s no biggy really, only question is, who’d they send Mr f***in Bean. Silly c**t got caught red handed tooled up! Should have taken a dog rather than his espionage kit!
We’ve played Derby twice and totally dominated them, we had two blatant penalties not given we missed a couple of sitters too, they rarely looked dangerous. On paper they should be right up there, I saw no improvement on the first game to yesterday. We played Hull and I’d have bet my mortgage on it that you’d go down after the game, we played Hull a second time and it was like a totally new team, it’s the difference a manager or coach makes when he plays to the strength of what he has. Lampard has learnt nothing, he might have been a great player but he isn’t a good coach. If Hull gate crash the top 6 and if Derby are in there you need to play them over two legs not a one off final, your coach will comfortably outwit Lampard over two matches.
We did play Derby in the play off semis in 2015/2016. First leg there, place was rocking and raucous, flags a waving, locals puffing their chests out. "Steve Bloomer's Watching" blaring out over the tannoy, our support tucked away in the corner. Then we won 0-3. Like a milk-producing factory that has recently switched to tetrapak cartons, they have no bottle.
Funny old game or what. Still remember some team losing to Bayern Munich back in ‘75 yet they actually call themselves ‘Champions of Europe ‘ to this day ..did we all miss something,or was that the ref?
Leeds did dominate that game and got caught by 2 sucker punches . Also had a perfectly good goal chalked off. There's fans where ****s that night though but so where a lot of English clubs at that time .
Dirty cheating bastards just ruined my multi with a 100th minute goal. *disclaimer: I have no idea why there were 10 minutes added on. Just assuming it’s The usual vermin cheating
