Thought I'd get this one out early as I will be incommunicado all day tomorrow in a city far, far away.......
Plus, the board has had no comments to muse over over the last day or so and we need to talk.
Aston Villa, everyone's favourites to,storm back after they were deservedly relegated. Thing is it didn't work out and they have not really been convincing. However they did win the European Cup but are too classy and modest to mention it. Not like some. They have drawn their last two games and it would be nice to compound their mini-stutter by beating them.
Derby, but on the other hand have confidence after a mini good run and look to consolidate this tomorrow. Yes, we may have hiccups and they do infuriate at times but we are simmering nicely for our post Christmas collapse......sorry, our continued roll towards glory .
Selection headaches abound as a seriously pi55ed woman at the Fans Forum on Tuesday questioned the validity of Chris Martin but do we start Martin/ Vydra or Vydra/ Nugent or summat else? Good news about Tommy who should be back after this game which means Johnny should slot in seamlessly on Saturday.
Things to discuss:-
* The Army and connections
* Slippers
* New 21% tax rate launched in Scotland
* Democracy
* Outdoor Christmas lights
Team news:-
Carson,
Baird,
Keogh,
Davies,
Forsyth,
Ledley,
Huddlestone,
Weimann,
Vydra,
Johnson,
Nugent
SUBS: Mitchell (gk), Wisdom, Pearce, Thorne, Russell, Winnall, Marti
Derby County 2 - 0 Aston Villa

Morning Vidal from a cold & frosty Norfolk.
Not admonished by me, I was actually being sincere this time.

This time. Having slept on it, haven’t changed my mind. Will be putting up the decorations today with a happy heart and I wouldn’t even begrudge a Forest fan copping an eyeful, were one to trespass close enough. Then I’ll set the hounds loose of course.

Will this constitute outdoor Christmas lights?

Naturally View. Only the Scroogiest of curmudgeons doesn’t want to spread the joy.

Well what a day. The Hebling arrived on the ferry last night, stayed with Granny Island and is now homeward bound.
The Feegles are beside themselves with excitement!

Morning all.
If anyone wants tips for predicting the correct score, I'm open to offers, (I need to do some work on the scorers though).

And me View, brilliant game.
Was it only 2 years ago when during our family Boxing Day booze up when we sang "We're Derby County and we're top of the League" only to finish outside the top six? We must be careful not to get too carried away, but after yesterday I'm afraid I am.

Different style of play then than now though VC10, we can win without bringing the noise. Should stand us better than in previous years, but we are Derby so anything is possible.
