    No brainer, to be promoted to the best league in the world. To watch your team perform against the other best players on the planet on a weekly basis is all one could hope for!
    But saying that every competition you enter should be to win it.

    Pushing for automatic promotion has always been my priority. F.A. cup is great, but it doesn't have the stature it did 25 years ago.
    There has been a lot of preparation which will hopefully lead us to the Prem. At my age, 75 in May that is as far ahead as I can wish for.

    Left England in 1966, just a couple of weeks after England won the World Cup. I still remember the night as pubs were open till... forever & police didn't do a thing.

    As far as The Mighty Rams, I am old enough to remember them winning the F.A. Cup in 1946. I have followed them through all the divisions, sometimes doom & gloom, but this season & last have been some of the better time of recent times.
    I am looking forward to coming over next month & will be going to the Middlesbrough game.
    In my last 6 visits to England I have a record at Derby of 5 wins & 1 draw.

    Slimey, can't you come over on Tuesday and stay until the end of the season. Think Mac might pay for your board and lodgings!
