I believe the Rams are now officially relegated. At least we got a point in doing so! 33,000 to watch your team go down is amazing support.

McAlmanac, the support given to the lads this year has been nothing short of phenomenal...

They keep singing and chanting....Super Derby....Super Rams....

We show a lot of other EPL clubs what true support is like...

Well done Derby Fans, back to the Championship...kick the Clarets ass :wink: , and back to the EPL....

* I hope Forrest get back up too :evil: :evil: :evil: , nothing better then beating the scum *

Bad luck Sjabc. That was us a couple of years back.

Speaking of fans - Sunderland's were absolutely fantastic last night. Verrrry loud.

Despite being a supporter for over 30 years - yes.

Interesting that a couple of candidates in that article won away at Liverpool during their horror campaigns.

Indeed they do McAl and that's been their problem for 15 years.

SOrry SJABC - I was just quoting the articles headline, not stating an opinion.
It must be heartbreaking going from watching your team every week on the tv in the top league to struggling in DIV 1, which they reckon is harder to get back out of.

Ask Charlton, Wolves, Sheff U, Coventry, Leicester, Soton, unless you get out of it at the wrong end like Luton, Bradford, Barnsley, Wimbledon

Predicted losses to Bolton and Wigan, but big wins to Cats, Toons and Brum, mean the bottom 3 are looking more likely to be the bottom three. Fulhams disappointing draw at Derby has left them with a lot of work to do.
The next two games will be crucial but they still have a real chance of leap frogging Brum.

Wigan 40
Sunderland 39
Newcastle 38
Reading 35
Fulham 32
---------------
Birmingham 30
Bolton 30
Derby (Relegated)

Bolton blew a massive chance to move out of the drop zone against Arsenal, that could come back to bite them hard.

I just hope Derby drag the lower clubs down with them. A good result for Derby, who were unlucky not to win after Fulham got gifted an own goal....

Smithy, wasn't saying you were evil :lol:

More of a tongue in cheek way of saying how dare an article paint how shite Derby are :(

As for the climb up, with the finances sorted out I just hope the GSE mob throw the coin to allow a few quality blokes to be signed....

4-1! Its been a long time since the lads put in a performance like that. Id say the bottom three will stay how they are, although Id like Brum to take Fulhams place. I think fulham have a tough run home, 4 away matches or something?

Oh dear, not another Mag 8) :wink:

Apparently Keegan is the messiah again based on two victories!! God I hope we beat 'em in a few weeks, with Chopra scoring a last minute winner 8)

Haha, the messiah has returned. Two wins is all it takes to go from relegation threat to chasing a uefa cup spot :roll:

Here's a big call: If the Black Cats stay up (which is looking ever likely!!!) we will be playing in Europe in two season's time.

With Keano at the helm, the feature looks very bright.

Yeah I read that, he certainly hasn't lost his sense of delusion over the years :wink:

Just typical though, we finally get above the Scummers on the table and they pull out their best performance of the year!!

DW, red hot rumour from the North East is that Julio Arca will be back at the SOL next season, I would love that!! And I don't think that's an overly big call; wasn't all that long ago we were 2nd in the EPL at Christmas (ended up 7th two seasons running) and if it wasn't for 5 wasted years by that buffoon Bob Murray we'd probably have played regularly in UEFA etc. Thank God for Niall Quinn.
