This would be the same Derby who hold the record for shittest Premiership season ever, when they amassed a grand total of 11 points in 07–08?

They are cursed and won't win I'm afraid.

On the subject of curses:

English football side Derby County FC were placed under a curse by a group of Romani Gypsies who were forced to move from a camp so that they could build their stadium the Baseball Ground. The curse was that Derby County would never win the FA Cup.[38] This mirrors the curse placed on Birmingham City F.C..

Despite reaching six FA Cup semi finals between 1896 and 1903, including three finals, they never managed to win the trophy. The next time they reached the final was in 1946 against Charlton Athletic. In the build up to the final, a representative from the club went to meet with Gypsies in an attempt to lift the curse.[38] During the Match, with the score tied at 1-1, the ball burst. It has since been seen by fans of the club as the moment the curse lifted.[38] Derby County went on to win the match 4-1.

Dunno about Derby, but think the Birmingham one is just an urban legend. Story is that gypsies were building St. Andrews, and one of their horses died, and we wouldn't let them bury it properly, we just slung it under one of the goals (there is supposedly a bump under one of the goal-lines because of this) so they cursed us. Then it reached a new level in the 90s when Barry Fry was our manager, and he came up with the story that the gypsies had threatened him, so every night before a game at 11, he had to go and urinate on all 4 corner flags.

I'll never get bored of laughing at those words

[hubb]

I don't want to step on your tie but Torres was much worse.
Carroll is a known alcoholic and had potential.

Boring^
