I have truly mixed feelings over derby...

They're 2 points behind us having played a game more than us, 2 games more than Stoke and 3 more games than Coventry and Luton.

They're only catching us if we mess up ourselves, and there are other teams that would be closer to doing so than Forest.

But you presumably accept that them losing would be better for Boro’s chances than Derby losing?

I do, but it's such a small improvement in our chances compared to a big hit to Derby's chances that I'd still sooner Forest won.

We win on Monday and we're back to 5 points above them even if they win today.
 
There's probably 250 games left to play this season, 750 points up for grabs.
I hardly think Forest's result today will be the ultimate difference as to whether we are promoted or not.
My hope that Derby are beaten today is purely down to selfish reasons.

Give over man. I wouldn't wish Huntingdon's on anybody, but that has nothing to do with her appearance. It has as much to do with her appearance as her being a former Prince Andrew partner.
She may run the risk of degeneration, but she is still in fettle fine enough to broker a £300m deal whilst literally being the face of that transaction.

It was off the cuff and I'm certainly not sorry.

I didn’t ask you to apologise. That’s your opinion. And whilst I hate everything about the Saudis and the take over of the Club the physical appearance of Amanda Staveley has got zero to do with it.

No but it might have something to do with whether ashley might want a "buck", which was my only observation.
 
Every inch of my fibre believes the way derby cheated and their fans behaviour since is scandelous. The EFL have been so weak with the 9 point deduction. Nothing less than a relegation should be considered appropriate.

A month ago I had the utmost sympathy for their fans as its always the fans who suffer most in these situations but the way they havd deflected blame and pointed fingers at Gibbo and our club has really pished me off. Of the thousands of posts on social media I have yet to see any of them hold their hands up and blame their own club.

All that said I just simply don't want to see their club become extinct.
 
It feels like the derby noose has eased off....this American bidder appears to be willing to pay what the club owe including us and Wycombe.
This could become a dying story pretty quickly by the feel of it...
Glad for Derby... but more importantly well done Steve Gibson....cheats will not and cannot be allowed to succeed...ill be happy with this outcome if that's what happens...
