21 Derby County Things

1. The police's paranoia about anybody from Wigan going into the town centre. Blimey middle-aged men are going into a town centre and maybe having a drink.
2. "Billy Davies was good in the Championship but he couldn't hack it in the Premier league" - Oh dear you really don't know what you have let yourself in for.
3. "Paul Jewell is a Wiganer" - sure enough try and wind up the home support by all accounts but get your facts right. Isn't, never was and never wanted to be
4. That Claude Davies really is a very bad player and the other ten weren't much better
5. The Brunswick Inn - very good pub, indeed
6. As was Ye Old Dolphin Inne
7. 30,000 and not a sound - but you couldn't blame them
8. Robbie Savage -why?
9. Wilson Palacios totally and utterly unphased by the fool that is Savage
10. A boisterous away following for once. It was like being back in the Championship
11. Man for man we were better than them in every position and should have had it tied up by half-time
12. The walk by the river back into town. A bit different to walking down the cut and no bloody bridge to try and get over
13. A certain well-known London Latic on Rambo No 2 (8.5 ABV) in The Brunswick
14. Sibierski's goal. Say what you want about the bloke but he has got something
15. And good to hear today: "Lille contacted me three weeks ago to ask me if I wanted to get back to France.'I told them 'no' straight away, I don't want to go back to France. My family are happy living in Manchester and I'm very happy at Wigan'."
16. That's 20 points and half way to the definitive 40 points. 38 will do it easily this season so that's six more wins...
17. Wot No "A" celebrations!?!?!?! Next one this Sunday at the JJB and hopefully not from Andy "Baldy" Johnson
18. Lamb's Navy Rum - wrong!
19. That Giles Barnes looking a lot fatter and not being as good as I thought he was - but he couldn't half moan!
20. Titus Bramble - immense again. Player of the season so far.
21. The torrential rain when we got back in Wigan. Thank God for other men's wives and my lift home - via the chip shop of course. A very good day out, Mr Jewell and we'll enjoy taking another three points from you at our gaff.
