Derby v Scunny


Recommended Posts

Got a mate whos a derby S/T holder......

What a shambolic defensive performance. Just sold Shackell,

our player of the year CB, for a cheap price, brought Keogh in from Coventry

for high price, and this is the result! Were 3-0, 4-1 (including missed

You'll win on Saturday

Any advantage helps, but it will be a totally different game on saturday!
