While Paul Jewell could do little about County’s relegation from the Premier League last season, it didn’t seem as though there was much improvement on Billy Davies’ record in the top flight. The former Wigan manager brought in plenty of new faces, but they couldn’t land him a win all season and it still appears […]

One game down, forty-five to go as far as the 24 teams in the Championship is concerned, but what did the opening weekend of fixtures tell us? Many regard Doncaster’s 1-0 win at Derby as the performance of the weekend, but that’s only working on the assumption that Rovers were playing League One football last […]

The Rams may be one of the favourites to be promoted from the Championship this season, although it’s possible that many of the Derby players will still be suffering from a hangover. That’s not because they’re heavy drinkers but more down the fact that County accrued just 11 points in the Premier League last season. […]

It’s easy to forget that the Rams had a brilliant season the last time they were in the Championship. Under Billy Davies, they made numerous comebacks to win games by a slender margin, eventually culminating in promotion through the play-offs. One of the key players in Derby’s successful campaign was their goalkeeper, and it looks […]

Apparently this is a done deal, but why have Tottenham bought this former-West Ham keeper?

Arsenal begin the season by hosting West Brom, Liverpool travel to Sunderland, Tottenham make the long trip to Middlesbrough. Yes it’s fixture list day! You can spend the whole day debating possible debauched weekends up north or when your play your local rivals.

Derby County Football Club. Remember them? They were the team that accepted relegation from the Premier League as a given by November. They were the team who conceded six goals at home. Twice.
Well it seems that Derby County don’t really have any intention of playing with the big boys any time soon. Well, thats the […]

After conceding a ‘mere’ 60 goals this past season and staying up by way of goal differential, you’d think Fulham would have their wits about them to go out and bring in some defensive quality this summer. After all, the club owes it to their supporters after taking them on a near heart attack experience […]

Walter Smith is an intelligent manager who has worked wonders at Ibrox, so I very much doubt the following speculation has any basis in fact.
Derby County chairman Adam Pearson has warned Rangers they won’t sign 5m rated Kenny Miller on the cheap.
He said: “It’s nonsense. We’ve invested a lot of time and money into Kenny […]

Blackburn are apparently in the hunt for Spurs’ mediocre midfielder Hossam Ghaly. After spending some of the season at Derby County, you would have thought that Ghaly was damaged goods and Sparky Hughes wouldn’t touch him with a bargepole. Ghaly said:
“Blackburn want to sign me. I have offers from other Premier League sides in […]
