Derby County v Leeds United - MATCH THREAD

[rab_rant]

Is there any truth in the rumour that the Derby guard of honour will take the knee as Leeds parade before them as Champions... A sort of symbolic gesture to make up for the 16 year on injustice and suffering that Leeds have endured at the hands of the EFL... and also demand that Bielsa gets a full refund of the £200000 fine imposed over the Spygate fiasco.

Do the right thing Derby.

Would be good to put in a decent performance and win the match. Always take the gloss of it for me if you lose your first match after being crowned champions.

I think the lack of pressure now will be the biggest influence. Derby have nothing left to play for. This will come down to ability, management and pride. I favour us heavily in these circumstances.

If Derby do give us a guard of honour, there will be so many gritted teeth, they will need to set up a dentist's surgery in their dressing room. Hope we "consider" doing to their dressing room, what it's alledged they did to ours after they won their cup final last year.

Do it with class, beat them 7-0 and then simply walk away and leave them and their incredibly expensive stadium behind.

Does anyone know if our trophy presentation will be on after the game?

[rrfierce]

Berardi to curl one out in the changing room?

I'd love to thrash them today

[leedsmad]

Different strokes. We have done our talking on the pitch.

I'm much more of a Bjorn Borg than a John Mcenroe these days. I would just shake their hands before the game, ask how much Rooney is earning? And say, whatever league you are in next year after the points deduction i wish you all the best.

and when the game is finished shake there hands and wish them luck vs Villa

I think our lads will still be celebrating so it's a Derby win for me (not being pessimistic but I think there will be a Championship hangover with our boys). I would love us to thrash them of course.

Morning Duckie,
I see you have installed your "delayed posting" program..

For the uninitiated, this is the program that allows Muckky Duckie to post a message and delay it by up to 12 hours, thus making us all think that she is up and about, when in reality, she is still in the land of nod.....

yeah i agree. would love to put 6 past them, and we are capable, but i am sure there has been a lot of celebrating this weekend and i fear our performance will suffer for it.....but hey who cares....lads, we are the champions...no time for derby cos we are the champions

Interesting, feels like we don't much care at this point but I guess it's also maybe to get people games and maybe avoid more injuries with such a short between seasons period

[Irish Ian]

I hope Derby have decided to play their kiddies

[The Subhuman]

Great if we do play well but it should take time to gel so don't be surprised if it's all a little disjointed and after the Lord Mayors party

[Irish Ian]

Looks like Dallas as DMF.

[Cjay]

Not happy about Kiko, seems an unnecessary thing to do.

Great to see Shacks, Poveda and Struijk
