A Great Club

Personally, I'd still rather see Wigan or QPR go up.

I'm not convinced Derby would be able to perform as well again next season if they don't go up.

Sorry auto correct and not reviewing what I posted.

Is your auto correct from a Chinese website?

Does he speak with a Derbyshire accent now?

Quality post

Cheers - good luck at Wembley.

Oh, and by the way, I think this is from one of your's -

"cant sell out home and away!!!!
have to pay Amex to sponsor your stadium giving away meeting rooms, in which they didnt want .
whats Brighton ever won??
TINPOT!!!!!!!!"

- take him back and point out to him that Derby County is better than that, would you? (or kick his a*se if you prefer). If he wants to find some English as a second language classes, I'm sure you have some good ones in Derby. All the best!

We don't want him back...can't you just shove him off the end of the pier?

I, on the other hand, imagine McLaren to be a thoroughly decent, down to earth guy, who's done a superb job with what is broadly the same squad of players who milled around semi-permanently in mid-table under Nigel Clough.

He's been dignified and highly respectful towards us, even in victory. I wish him well. I'd far rather see him succeed in the final than the media's favourite, Redknapp.

Much as I may have wished Derby would lose the final in the heat of the moment (although still not if it meant QPR winning ) I can't help but agree with all the above.

They haven't got that many loans, have they? Bamford scored loads for MK Twats so was bound to be made available to other clubs.

Bamford (Chelsea)
Wisdom (Liverpool)
Thorne (West Brom)

Dawkins (Spurs) was a loan, but I think they may have bought him in January.

We have a habit of losing to winners over two legs ties before Wembley

Best of luck.

Dawkins is a funny one. He's was at Spurs nearly all his career, getting loaned out constantly. After releasing him once, they then re-signed him on a contract until summer 2013. He was initially on a long loan to Derby until they signed him permanently in January.

He will be twenty seven years old this year. My point being, at what point does someone at Tottenham go "Hmmm, maybe this lad's not going to make it after all"? It staggers me that he'd be kept on at a club of that stature until he was 26, without playing a single game. Most clubs release younger players by about twenty one if they decide they're not up to it. Meanwhile Spurs hang on to the likes of Dawkins and Jon Obika (24 this year) despite it being transparently obvious they aren't of the required standard.

Bizarre.

Bizarre.

Danny Mills said that Chelsea had 30 players out on loan. THIRTY! There must be a money angle to it somewhere.
