During a quiet period of close season or an international break, I think I speak on behalf of most of the forum when I say I'd genuinely be keen to hear these. I do enjoy a Finnegan rant: a quality blend of cold hard facts and raw aggression. It's good for the soul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPeakFox Posted 29 October 2020 Share Posted 29 October 2020 I'm in the @Muzzy_Larsson camp on this but I appreciate the honesty of @Finnegan and @gw_leics772. It's not that I'm above it - a bit of pantomime hatred of Derby was fun back in the day - but my mental health takes precedence nowadays. Practising my latent anger (and I have plenty) does me no good at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move on! 🤪 And as much as it gripes they do (/did) still have some of the best away support ever with excellent songwriting skills. I now laugh at my younger self's reaction to "we all agree, united are bigger/better than England" (easier to laugh now that I genuinely think you can replace the word united with Leicester {and probably 90% of the Premier league teams} {"except Burnley, I ****ing hate Burnley"} and Fulham of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demise of the Midlands is bad for all of us. It’s an opinion that personally I don’t share. I grew up in an era when Forest and Derby were recent winners of the top division. There was constant press coverage of their achievements and I had to watch as Forest competed in cup finals and semi finals. Leicester were a marginalised after thought at best. It can only help our profile and fan base if we stand above the other geographically close clubs. I’m happy to see them in lower divisions as we thrive. I’ve also never understood this need for a local derby. Forest and Derby keep their incestuous relationship going because it reminds them of a time when they were relevant. We’re apart from that. Above it. I’m just as happy to beat Arsenal and Burnley as I am Forest. I also don't see how having these failing clubs in the top league will help the narrative of challenging the top six. The only way to do that is to challenge them competitively on the pitch and financially off it. The irony is that we’re saying that other clubs should be in the PL based on past glories when it should only be on merit. That’s the very reason we’re standing up to the big six. If league position was based on sentiment and history we wouldn’t have been in the PL in 15/16 to win it. There a lot of words here, but basically what I’m saying is: bollocks to them! 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumbleFox Posted 29 October 2020 Share Posted 29 October 2020 I kinda do miss playing Derby, our matches in the 90s are some of my favourites. Silence of the Rams. Fvcking loved that shit. X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 29 October 2020 Share Posted 29 October 2020 Of course it would be hugely beneficial for us if they came up. That would be 2 games in the season that we dont have to pay an extra £15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbo Posted 29 October 2020 Share Posted 29 October 2020 I genuinely have no ill will towards Derby. Never liked Cov, which is strange because I'm not from the end of the county where that's the norm. I've grown to dislike Forest over the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonfox1884 Posted 29 October 2020 Share Posted 29 October 2020 Having grown up away from the area it’s only really Forest I have a disliking to as it’s always been the one that’s been drilled into me in various ways. Cov I see as somewhat irrelevant as a club and like @Webbo I have nothing against Derby really - wanted them to beat Forest the other night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
