Can you imagine not seeing your team win in the league for a whole calendar year? Well if you support Derby County you and your fellow sheep don’t need to. Next week is the anniversary of Derby’s last league win. With only 1 point so far this season you wouldn’t fancy them beating fifth place Sheffield United next weekend either. What has scouser Paul Jewell got to say about this sorry state of affairs? Well he lays the blame at the door of football phone-ins and the blame culture associated with it. He obviously didn’t enjoy his time working as a pundit on Radio 5Live pre-Derby.
What is he going to do about it? Well not much but he has adopted the “Keep the Faith” motto Leicester City used in their successful 2003-2004 relegation season. The Fizzy Pop Team hope Derby can stay up so that the big East Midlands 3 can all resume their old rivalries in the Championship next season, provided Leicester keep up their assault on League 1.
Jewell “Calm down calm down”
The Fizzy Pop League this week saw 32 goals scored, with a fair chunk of that total coming in Posh’s 5-4 win over the Gas. Dan streaked to a 1 point lead over Russ while Bailes lost ground on the big 2. Mike clearly needs to use those Omani oil contacts to secure some much needed foreign investment and revamp his squad. Otherwise he is in danger of slipping to the bottom as Marv begins to gain ground.
