david in sweden Posted 8 May, 2014 Share Posted 8 May, 2014 Brighton v. Derby tonight. ...always had a soft spot for Derby, but never liked Brighton that much.....(even if they are closer geographically). Not too bothered either way, but if Brighton do get up....it'll be good to beat them once in a while.....or, for as long as they stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 8 May, 2014 Share Posted 8 May, 2014 **** Derby. Wonder if they'll be trying to injure Brighton's best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Saint Posted 8 May, 2014 Share Posted 8 May, 2014 Got quite a few friends who are Brighton S/T holders - would love to renew the rivalry next season. Horrid memories of the play-off semi-final at Pride Park. Great game, but Derby hacked us to pieces in the first leg and if weren't for the spectacular Leon Best OG we would have gone through. Their fans at the end were right ***ts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember it well and was very unimpressed. But, I'm a bit of a traditionalist and fan of successful and traditional clubs, so will be supporting derby. Brighton are not a premier league club (and neither are Wigan) so derby or qpr for me, and for obvious reasons I'd rather it be derby than qpr.

angelman Posted 8 May, 2014 Share Posted 8 May, 2014 I still think that the play offs are ridiculous dreamt up by greedy suits trying to squeeze every last drop out of the game. FFS they have played 46 games to decide the league. If they have to stay, I would change things and say that if any team was 10 points or more behind 3rd place, then they would not be included in the play offs. That would exclude both Wigan & Brighton from this years POs leaving Derby and Wigan to decide it. I don't know what the biggest gap between 3rd and 6th is, but presume a lot more than the 13 points this season, and I am not sure how many 6th places get promoted.

The team finishing highest in the league (third) has succeeded in winning promotion ten times out of twenty seven seasons up to 2013, with 4th managing four promotions, 5th seven and 6th five.

doddisalegend Posted 8 May, 2014 Share Posted 8 May, 2014 I'm just gutted for Nigel that Reading missed out to Brighton in such a dramatic way. I think Brighton would get stuffed in the PL, not sure they have the money to strengthen the team that much, so bring them on and guarantee us 6pts next season.

I'd deffo rather have Reading than Brighton in the play offs, but this was rather funny :/ Anyways though by the looks of it Derby should progress to the final.

Not sure he's a straight Morgan-esque type player but he's certainly worth keeping an eye on - His goal was quality. Very talented for an 18 year old.

Goatboy Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 I know it's wrong but I'm kind of hoping QPR go up. I know, I know! But I think they'll get absolutely mugged in the Premier League. They'll waste even more money on a load of dross, Harry will be sacked/retired by Christmas and they'll go straight back down again. Lols. Also, we could buy Will Hughes from Derby.
