how the hell can fans from clubs like southend criticise Derby???? We handed your arses to you twice last season.- sunday league club
The simple fact is when you play in the best league in the world the step up in class is vast and with our limited resources we were always up against it. i mean if we do go down we'll come straight back up because we'll be the richest club in the so called championship.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any fan of any club can criticise any other club. What makes you think size or past results come into it? Derby may be a bigger club than Southend but is it necessarily a better one? That's arrogance of the highest order. And how much would you like to bet that Derby will come straight
back up next season?

very few teams in the bottom 3 at christmas manage to stay up though I think it has been done quite recently.

West Bromwich Albion were the first club in the Premiership to be bottom at Christmas and escape relegation (that was in 2004-05) and only then on the very last day of the season and by a miracle when three other results went our way. Still, the clueless Bryan Robson failed to see the writing on the wall and he took us down the very next season.

Aries why'll i agree bigger sized clubs cannot rest on their morals, that bigger eguals better (that would make us like Notts and leeds), at the same time we are a bigger and better than southend (no offence) that is fact and therefore they should not laugh at us as they are not better off. I have a sayying "that you should not critise some-one who is better than you," like i will never critise my mate phil, who was one derby's under 16 cross country runner for getting 4th in his last run, instead of 1th as i could never even probly finish it. lol

Alforderby, yes you are better than many smaller clubs in terms of many things, but if you take even a non-league club like, say, Bishop Auckland in County Durham, they're a well-run club and they do the best they can in the league they play in and they've got a great history in amateur football. Who's to say that Bishop Auckland, in their own way, are not as "good" as Derby County? It's the difference between relative and absolute. That's my point, and there's no reason on earth why supporters of Bishop Auckland can't criticise Premiership or other clubs over anything. And yes, at least you and your mate Phil ran the cross-country race - at least you took part. In that sense, you are "as good as" any Olympic champion.

c_stander, I am sure you won't anyway, but never say die, you just don't know what's going to happen in this season's Premiership. Thirty points could well be enough to survive and, starting Saturday, anything's possible.

derby are as naildown relegation candidates as I have ever seen...the only Q is whether they score the fewest number of points ever in premier league history or not

THE PLAYERS ARE SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH
