We aren't in the draw. You see, we were beaten yesterday 3-2 by Oldham at the City Ground, and subsequently will not be involved in the competition any further.

They are notoriously slow on the uptake in Derby Hoons.

A cup run will help Derby with the coffers. It's good for the smaller clubs

He does. He is the most successful manager we have appointed since Brian Clough, recommended to our owners by their friend Alex Ferguson.
Time will tell.

Never going to win the FA Cup so not really fussed that we are out...just means less games to have to cope with.

The only good point of being in the cup as a Championship team is to hope for a glam tie against the big four. A far cry from Blackburn at home or Huddersfield away

Coffer Cup?

Is that a reference to the Kenco Coffee Cup that outfoxed your 'legendary defence' to score for us?

Will derby win the FA cup!?! Hmmmmmm.....
If yesterdays were league results it would have been a lot more painful. You see it must be impossible to score FIVE in the league ???!!!

But..... yes once again.
For the hard of thinking.....
Forest are out of the FA cup.
Derby won.
Scoring 5 goals in the process.
And they are therefore still in the FA cup.
You might actually go on a good cup run. All the best with that.

How did you actually play, Hoons? McLeish said 'woeful' - but he thought that you weren't bad at Blackburn, so ginger man probably always speak with forked tongue

Wumming aside (if that's possible) - apart from the revenue, which I'll concede is questionable in the early stages, a decent manager with youngsters to blood can include them in a competative match that you can afford to lose, assuming your academy is producing lads with potential.

Clearly yours is - we all saw Kieron Freeman (again) yesterday

TLP - we HAVE scored five in a game in the league this season.

*competitive, dumbass.

Sorry, Red pedants, it's so long since our derbies were competitive, I'd forgotten how to spell it...
