Aizoon Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Derby is a city and unitary authority area in the East Midlands region of England. It lies on the banks of the River Derwent in the south of the county of Derbyshire, of which it is the county town. In the 2011 census, the city had a population of 248,700 and 1,543,000 in the wider metro area. Derby was the home of the Midland Railway (some railway mileposts are still marked in miles from Derby) and an important part of our engineering industry before we sold it to the Japanese and the Germans. To be fair, they still make trains and aero engines there. Derby County FC was taken to glory by one Brian Clough. The chairman pissed him off, so he took Nottingham Forest to glory instead. This still upsets Derby fans. It is debatable whether Derby is a Midland shithole or a Northern shithole. Opinions are divided on this. It is certainly grim enough to count as Northern. Horace says that no famous hedgehogs have ever come from Derby, and I take his word on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 You can easily work out if Derby is a Midlands or a northern shit hole by assessing how they consume the drug MDMA. In the north, they inject MDMA directly in to the mouth, a process they call... 'E by gum' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'll try and share some optimism for this game. Firstly, our record on Tuesday nights are very, very good! Think we've lost 1 out of 12-15 games or so. And that was against Brighton, who are unbeaten and we were 10 minutes away from breaking their record. We come into this game from a hard fought victory at Huddersfield in terrible conditions. One thing about this squad, is that it has great character and they all work for eachother to put things right. We also have Jonathan Kodjia, one of the best strikers in the division and has a impressive return of 9 goals thus far! We go to Derby with no fear, we don't fear anybody in this league. The crowd will be expecting a victory tonight, all the pressure is on the home team. Hopefully we can cause a upset tonight, wouldn't surprise me! On the other hand it could go tits up....
