26/12/09 – Derby County 0 Blackpool 2 – Utter drivel as Rams tank at Pride Park
“Oh, it’s crap… It’s bloody rubbish” – Brian Clough I’m not sure how to start this post, which will, I assure you, be a comprehensively negative one. There’s so much that was wrong with Derby’s ‘performance’ against Blackpool that, like a malnourished tiger looking at a massive herd of drugged buffalo, I don’t know... »
Dickov defies critics, Father Time, logic, proves shrewd signing

Unfortunately, there was also an unsavoury melee at the end, as... »

Paul Dickov signs for Derby – Uwe Rosler to follow?
As signings go, you don’t get much less inspiring than a 36 year-old centre forward on loan from Leicester City. But that is apparently the short-term answer to Derby County’s striker injury crisis, as a deal to bring Paul Dickov to Pride Park until January has been completed. There are probably good... »
Teams

August 14, 2009 | 19:30Stereo Arcade are a popband from Sweden. They make really catchy art-rock, which has roots in the sounds of both Britain and Scandinavia. Thus far they have only put out a few songs, but if they are anything to go by this band will be worth going back to soon. DF
