Of course he knows someone who is doing that, same way as always there is someone who can't be called upon to backup.

Nice to see this has all turned into a big pile of hairy twát.

Ok, so predictions?

Or are the Derby lot skirting around the subject?

Fifty nil to Derby

You might have over egged the pudding there, Vidal.

Eighty nil then. I was just trying to be nice.

I tell you what, I would be absolutely gutted if that ended up being the final score

It would mean you got off lightly. Your defence could give itself a good pat on the back and Schteve will have the forwards in on Monday for extra shooting practice.

I think you mean extra 'schtooting practice'.

No, I don't mean that. In fact I have no idea what it means. It sounds disgusting.

I'd settle for a 0-1.


First twenty minutes will be a deciding factor me thinks.

Finally we have a proper thread.

I'm going Forest 1 Derby 9 I think the 80-0 game will be at the stadium formerly known as Pride Park.

Considering our form of late though I'd say 1-9 would be a fair result, obviously disappointing for the Derby fans in both ends of the ground to see such a poor performance from us but it's footsteps innit.

Hand on heart 3-1 either way.

Be nice if Keogh scores my predicted 1.

Psycho will have them pumped so much so if they are not up after 20mins they will have shot their load and then we're in a game.

A clean sheet for me would be a great result

It's a tough one to call. Forest are top and looking strong, especially where Derby are weakest but the Rams have been together a long time and know this fixture inside out. Bryson always saves his best for this one and when he plays well so does the whole team.

So, I can't call it either way. Early Forest goal is critical for them.

On honeymoon in Mauritius trying to find somewhere that has sky sports but it's not looking good! Nice to go to bed 3 hours ahead of you guys and there's about 4 messages on this thread, then while lying on a lounger by the pool this morning I have a read and find a thread that's swung from one side to the other nearly as much as my berries have been doing the last few days. Truly has been a fun read!

Anyway, I'm going for a hard fought 2-1 home win. I expect a lot from this derby team, most likely be our toughest home game of the season so part of me agrees with the monkeys above that we need the first goal and ideally in the first 20-30 minutes or it could be a long tense afternoon.

I fancy a tight 2-0 ... goal in injury time to seal it.

My heart says it's gonna be a rip-roaring, tub thumping classic of a match.

My head says it's gonna be a very cagey affair that'll end in a draw (0-0) or a narrow 1 goal win (1-0 Derby, Keogh).
Here's hoping it's not decided on a proper dodgy reffing decision (ala Atwell at his best)

3-1 Forest. Easy.

Totally agree with Forest need a goal early, the longer it goes without a goal the more I will fancy a Derby win with 2 late goals, Forest to get a late late consolation

I've hear all this Forest superior team, good run, our year every September

1 - 2

Same vice versa Bush, if anything on here there is more Derby fans who think your certs for promotion than vice versa this season.

I amazed there's so many people who even think this will be a contest; Derby will wipe the floor with Forest and the only surprise is that so many of the so-called fans of NFFC are freely discarding their annual mitigations shields of 'injuries' and 'gelling' and 'crap management' prior to kick off... nowhere left to hide now you mugs!

What will your excuses be then?

No Thorne in our side?
