It's been a long time since we did one of these non-articles and what have we learned:-
England are crap - I knew this anyway (c.1992)
Will Hughes is not a a transfer target of Liverpool
Andy Reid is injured and the wheels are coming off..........
Rams on the south coast today against a confident Bournemouth side who are determined to take down as many of the 'big boys' down as possible. I know the result is not a fore-gone conclusion but we seem to very buoyant after the Sheffield Wednesday game.
My hope is that we do not concede early and just make the task harder - the Cherries are there for the taking and if we believe our own hype, teams of Bournemouth's statue (ABSOLUTELY no dis-respect intended) need to be beaten.
What do you think?

Two games in a row with clean sheets. Too much to hope we've started a trend?

Happy Sunday, View and gang!
Hope the comments didn't get too bizarre as the wine disappeared!
I feel like an adopted kindred spirit on here , can't remember how it started (probably alcohol related! )
but anyhow, it's very comfortable on here!
Cheers guys.
Oh yeah, before I go, bloody Aussies, Mitchell bloody Johnson:'(

Splendid weekend.
I took a carload down (the Memsahib and her two brothers) on Friday afternoon - bit of a gruelling journey down (accident on the A34 and the rubberneckers held us up for an hour) but we eventually got to our hotel at about 7:30. Pub. Bed. Pub breakfast, different pub, match, pub, bed, pub breakfast, drive home (50 bloody mile diversion).
Derby never got out of first gear - but frankly apart from the last few minutes we never had to. We were very profligate in front of goal and could - and should - have had 4 or 5. Saying that, we could have conceded late on.
3 substitutions, 3 forwards off, 3 forwards on. That says everything you need to know about what has changed over the last few weeks. Not for one second did we settle for 1-0.
Best chant of the day:"That Andre Wisdom, he parks where he wants".
Bournemouth's manager said we were the best team they have faced this season. Bournemouth's fans said that we are the best fans they have had down there this season.
Top weekend - now for Wigan.

Great stuff, Eddie! We were proud of the travelling supporters too. I have a video on Facebook of the singing after the goal! It was pretty good craic on here too, if verging on the surreal at times COYR
