The next best result for me after the Wolves one was Derby 3 Cardiff 4. Derby's JA606 fans are insufferable, talking about 'the Derby Way' and bemoaning being below the Huddersfields and the Barnsleys. They can't ever seem to get it into their thick heads that it's what happens on the pitch that counts, not the size of your crowds or your Premier League status academy or training facilities. 'The Derby Way' is to get to the Premier League, score a record eleven points and then sink without trace. It was great when 10-man QPR nicked a 90th-minute goal to win the 2014 Championship play-off final. In January, I reminded Derby fans of Derby's unique League and FA Cup Double: record low eleven points in the top tier, and biggest FA Cup final defeat, 6-0 against Bury in 1903. Endless fun.
And let's not forget Preston North End 2 Birmingham City 1. One win in 13 for Gianfranco Zola, repaying the Blues' board's faith in appointing a modern, forward-thinking European coach. What a crock of crap. The sack is surely imminent there.
