    Wednesday Almost Doomed.

    They now have to hope Derby lose to Swansea today and then that they themselves beat Derby next week.

    It’s quite remarkable how Wednesday constantly fall to League One level considering the size and fan base of the club.

    A quarter of a century of bad decision making and bad ownership and I suspect DM will be on his bike.

    It was a bad choice of club by Moore, he should never have touched the job.

    Just 2 wins and 2 draws in 12 or 13 games since his arrival and the bad luck with him catching Covid, a cocktail for disaster I guess.

    I'd like to see Swansea slap Derby all over the place if I'm honest. 'If' we go down we don't need extra competition for signings next season with money they may attract through new ownership.

    Still haven't forgotten Wembley either. Here's hoping Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham can do the business should Derby lose. 'If' we pull off the greatest of all escapes I would still want Derby down.

    And again...... and.....

    Losing the play off final to Derby was the worst I’ve felt after a match apart from losing the FA Cup semi finals in 78 and 82, the journey home after 82 was utterly dismal, like a funeral.

    The lack of class from the Derby fans was the most unpalatable thing for me though.

    All the p I s s taking on the way back to the coaches and all the gestures etc as we were crawling away from Wembley, at one point my 14year old son pulled his trousers down and stuck his a r s e against the coach window he was so fed up with the sheep fans.

    At one point we stuck in traffic and a group of Derby fans were making w a n k e r gestures at our coach, one lad had had enough and opened the emergency door at the rear of the coach and a few lads got off and gave the Derby idiots a real pasting.

    I’ve hated Derby since that day so I do concur with you 68.

    Having worked with a few of their supporters over a number of years I already found them to be quite arrogant and condescending and that was before Wembley. A bit like Vilers with a smaller trophy cabinet.

    Only genuinely decent one I had time for was a lad I met in the army, he was a bit nuts at times if truth be told but he was a good lad. Got the sack from a warehouse job for w@nking into a bossy supervisor's shoe. She walked in as he was on the vinegar stroke, maniac 😊 .

    Was taken to one side by a couple of Her Majesty's Finest on the way up Wembley Way before the game following a brief altercation. Unfortunately I wasn't arrested and had to endure what followed.

    After the game me and a mate found a shop and bought some Stella to drown our sorrows for the journey home. Bumped into four Derby 'fans' on the way back to the coach and being sporting I congratulated them on the win.

    They were gobsmacked, thanked me awkwardly and didn't know what to do next. Probably never occurred to them that breathing doesn't make it compulsory to be obnoxious.

    I don't think they'd have lasted very long if they'd have ripped the P though.....

    I dislike Derby too. That play-off at Wembley sticks in the craw ..... a cold, drizzling, miserable day. We had a decent side then .... probably better than we have now. Still think Koumas should have had a penalty early in first half. And then the icing on the cake ... Big Dave marshalling Derby’s defence which gave us nothing all day .....

    Same here Mick the only time I properly fell out with the Mrs, I went into the west end after the game to drown my sorrows which were considerable, she’s was on the phone seemed like every 5 minutes asking when I was coming back, ended up in a Belgian bar drinking the strongest stuff they had with a random baggie who was equally depressed. Very dark day indeed balls to them I say.

    It's ace seeing the Sheff Wensdy Fowls struggle like this, and by rights they should be down already. I still don't understand why or how they got the 6 points back, after the original -12 point deduction.
    Rotherham meanwhile are in a very similar position to where we were last season, with 2 games to go. It's still in their own hands though, win both games and they are safe!.

    I would love Derby to go down; before that awful day at Wembley against Derby, we went into central London for beer and food, on the way to the stadium on the tube we were unfortunately in a carriage full of Derby fans, what a bunch of wretched animals, how we didn’t end up up having a brawl I will never know. When the name Derby appears anywhere, I just see those scumbags; please let them see relegation to League One.
