A cracking derby between Nottm Forest and Derby County - which Forest won 3-2, their first win
against the Rams in more than six years - was spoiled by post-game handbags between both sets of
players. The scrap was...

Following their home kit launch in July, one time English Premier League and now English Football
League Championship regulars Derby County Football Club have unveiled their away kit for the
2009/10 season. Some of you might be familiar with kit design as it was used by a number of teams
during the 2008/09 season.

Derby County's away shirt for the 2009-10 football season has been officially released by the club.
It has been made by Adidas, and is somewhat similar to the design used by the kit maker in Spain's
Confederations Cup shirt. Bombardier are the kit sponsors. The shirt will be worn with white shorts
and black socks with [.

Xabi Alonso seems certain to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid this summer, which comes as no
surprise given his demoralizing treatment at the hands of Rafa Benitez over the last 2 years..
The latest in this summer's most predictable (and regrettable) transfer saga is that Alonso has
allegedly told Benitez that he wants to leave Anfield.

The early kick offs have always been tough for the over 30 rams, but for some reason Dinamo
Lokomotiv in particular. Christian, Benny and Ally were all detained at work, Mike was late, Chris
Ro couldn't makes it and so with the best will in the world and going out aggressively 4-3-3 we got
battered 5-1.

Victory tonight for Woodlands Wellington could see nosebleeds all round as the Rams would reach the
heady heights of 5th after four straight wins.
I tend not to write too much about Nenad Bacin's men but while attention, such as it is in
Singapore, has been on the unbeaten runs of SAF and Tampines Rovers Woodlands have been quietly
winning at challengers Gombak United and brushing aside Home United and Balestier Khalsa to set up
tonight's clash with Geylang United and the prospect of a fourth straight win.

Substitute Jamil Ali really put the cat among the pigeons last night at Jurong West Stadium when
his late winner put a bloody great dent into Gombak United's title credentials.
It wasn't a classic, far from it, but an eventful final few minutes saw an unconvincing Gombak
brought down to earth by the verve of a Woodlands side who had been comprehensively overturned by
their title rivals SAF earlier in the week.

The Rams' 09/10 Coca Cola Championship home kit has arrived. Derby County have officially revealed
their home shirt for the 2009-10 season. The new strip is made by Adidas and sponsored by
Bombardier. Looks quite a bit like last season's design, but definitely looks more stylish. Check
out the photo of the new Derby kit.

With Mile Sterjovski joining Perth Glory, Football Perth looks at the opinions of Derby County fans
from their fan forum. While these need to be taken with a good serving of salt, it's interesting to
get their verdict on Sterjovski's time at Derby.
"Nothing against the guy. I think him and Tito Villa are both decent players in their own way.

The NFL has been revenue sharing for decades and because of it American football has become the
most highly attended and anticipated major sport in the US.
Andy Burnham's most controversial proposal if implemented will have the top four Premiership
clubs share their revenues with the league have nots.

Well the team is Goulburn Strikers but they play in ACT land. And the lads from Goulburn stuck one
up the NSW Super League and NSW Football in general. Great work to Carlo Alliffi and the boys.
No wonder NSW won't let any ACT teams into their tournaments....and wait till I see that Han Berger
bloke next week.

It's not much fun being a County fan at the moment. The Rams were a laughing stock in the Premier
League last season, winning just one match all term. Things have not gone much better this
campaign, despite manager Paul Jewell spending plenty of cash to try and bounce back ...

Paul Jewell arrived at Pride Park full of optimism and was confident that he could improve Derby's
fortunes. However, it appears as though the Rams were a lot better off two seasons ago (apart from
financially of course) when Billy Davies was at the helm, steering the underdogs to promotion ...

In last night's Singapore Cup semi final first leg Young Lions came from behind to defeat Woodlands
Wellington.
Lucian Dronca gave the home side the lead on 11' but goals from Obadin Aikhena 33' and Fadhil Noh
57' means the Rams have an uphill struggle in the second leg.

It's not been much fun supporting Derby County in the past twelve months. After gaining promotion
to the Premier League, the Rams were humiliated on several occasions, showing a remarkable
ineptitude under Billy Davies and Paul Jewell. Many claim that the latter's job is on the line
following an ordinary .

At the beginning of every new EPL season the newspapers are full of team previews. But they suck.
All of them. Mine also sucks, but hey, at least it has the authentic Sanford's Soccer Net seal of
mediocrity running through it [not to mention poor selling, bad grammar, etc]. I've listed the
teams in the positions in which I think they'll end the season: 20th - 11th today, 10th - 1st
tomorrow.

The Rams may be one of the favourites to be promoted from the Championship this season, although
it's possible that many of the Derby players will still be suffering from a hangover. That's not
because they're heavy drinkers but more down the fact that County accrued just 11 points in the
Premier League last season.

It's easy to forget that the Rams had a brilliant season the last time they were in the
Championship. Under Billy Davies, they made numerous comebacks to win games by a slender margin,
eventually culminating in promotion through the play-offs. One of the key players in Derby's
successful campaign was .

Paul Jewell is giving up on Wigan Athletic defender Titus Bramble and will look to find a defender

Derby County midfield sensation is still recovering from the foot injury that he sustained in the
Play-off final in May. The Rams had hoped that he would have been fit and able to play a part in
the pre-season build up to the premiership campaign. With just four weeks left until the Sunderland
and Spurs kick [...]
