Bye Bye Derby
Suspect we wont see derbyflan on for a while, he will be too busy crying in his beer and mouning the demise of Derby County from the Premiership. Looks like they will create a record though in doing it...

The lowest points total in the premiership EVER.

Re: Bye Bye Derby
Also the first Prem' team to be relegated before April kicks in - in their history books it'll go down as a double record breaking season in the Premier League.
Back in August I thought they'd do OK - shows why I support City I suppose?

Re: Bye Bye Derby
You've got Mr "Perma Tan" Phil Brown, so think positive. Unfortunately, I reckon you will endure a similar fate to us if you go up.
At least I remember the Clough and Mackay era when we were capable of thumping Real Madrid 4-1 in the European Cup and twice champions in the 1970s. In those days we had some class players eg Todd, McFarland, Gemmill, George, Hector and Hinton. That seems a lifetime away now.

Re: Bye Bye Derby
Yeah we have Phil Brown and owners willing to put cash into the club, sadly though it won't be enough to sustain a club capable of staying in the premiership. Hull is now a club approaching the level that is too good for the championship but not good enough for premiership, as ever it always comes down to hard cash for investment.
