Derby County v Leeds Utd 1st Leg play off semi final

You obviously didn't get it........not surprising.

 

Can I have a too ****ing nervous to dare predict anything button please.

Would like an away goal and to be in it for home leg (will settle for a 5-0 win otherwise)

 

I'm hoping that these two games are going to be like starting fresh like at the start of the season. Forget about the last 4 or more games. The pressure will be on Derby to get something out of the first leg.

 

Away goals don't count double, so just a draw or win for me.

 

Ah good point so I'll just settle for a 5-0 win straight away

 

Granddaughter getting married tomorrow so I will get in early.
Not forecasting the result.
If I go for Derby to win I just might get it right.
If I go for a Leeds win I could be tempting fate.
If I go for a draw that's just sitting on the fence.
In other words I hav'nt got a f-----g clue

 

I’d drop Forshaw for no other reason that we seem to lose more when he plays.

 

We're favourites not to go up...

The Baggies are the favourites to be promoted from the Championship, with the Euro Club Index giving them nearly a 30% chance of doing so. Derby are currently the favourites to join the Baggies in this year's Championship play-off final.

Nobody likes us....

 

Bookies know Leeds Utd screw up when it matters.

 

Ay thank fck

 

Good, want to be the underdog now. But unfortunately bookies are rarely wrong

 

We're favourites with the bookies, that's not bookies.

 

The Bee'b had to search very hard to find that opinion about us being the least likely to get promoted, good old BBC hey?

 

Yer WTF is the club euro index, probably had the Champions League down as Barcelona v Real Madrid final.

 

Latest Ranking from the EuroIndex, worked out well for the Champions League Final

 

Warming up ready for the weekend by watching Newport v Mansfield playoff tonight.

 

Mansfield one up already Lee..

 

Nice to feel relaxed watching a playoff!

Was just talking to Boris about when we played Villa at Wembley in the League cup. We agreed this was the most pissed I have been at a football match. We drank the George pub dry of Tetleys and then got the Met line to Wembley. We gave an old Villa goalkeeper, Nigel Spink, some 'banter' as he was in the same carriage as us on the way to the stadium.

Hardly remember the game apart from falling down a staircase and the chants of 'why is Brolin' on the bench as we were losing 3 - 0.

On the way out, two of the Staffordshire Whites we were with got arrested at the station, we were all still bladdered. Lets hope we make it back to Wembley, as we owe them one!

 

I was at that game with my dad. Had no drink but wish I had and couldn’t remember it too
