    Question: I know everyone has secretly wondered this but been too embarrassed to admit it...

    If Derby had two football teams what would you call the match between them?

    "The Derby derby"?


    My new lifes mission is to buy AFC Wimbledon and relocate them to Derby so I can test this out.

    What if Stephen Darby played for one of them & scored the winner?

    Ultimate headline
    "Derby's Darby delight during dramatic Derby derby"

    I very rarely hear it referred to as the derby. Usually its "Forest are playing the sheep-shaggers" <ok>

    With mclaren taking charge there won't be a derby much longer anyway. More likely to be playing Walsall than forest!

    The yanks pronounce it "D-urr-by" which I suppose is more phonetic... but still for some reason makes me cringe.
