Is Andy Oakes back in goal for Derby now since he's returned from injury?

Not yet - needs to get back to full match fitness.
Lee Grant did very well yesterday, apparently. That's not where the problem has lay in the past.

 

[Craig]

Wll he come back in when fully fit?

 

[Tom Halsey]

The question remains: can Ar$ehole go the season unbeaten?

 

[Langeveldt]

Nope

 

[luckyeddie]

Not sure whether Ar$e nil can go the season unbeaten in the league. I'd dearly like them to go 43 games unbeaten - just to knock the tree huggers out of the record books on that one.

Second wish - a point or three for Derby away at Sunderland tomorrow. Good draw away at Sheff Utd the other day, nned to build on that. Peschisolido back.

Re Andy Oakes - he needs to fight for his place (conceded 4 in the reserves the other night but none were his fault). At present, Grant is playing very well.

Nope.

Vieira or Campbell or Lauren or Toure or rubbish Keown will get sent off for Arsenal this week. Roy Keane is likely for Man Ure.

 

[Tom Halsey]

4-1 win tomorrow.

Plus Ar$ehole to miss 3 open goals.

Yeah with a couple of RVN 6 yard box goals and a goal or two from Henry outside the box.

When you think about it, both score goals from similar areas all the time. I guess that is why people consider Henry to be the best if one of the best strikers in the world.

Sorry Eddie, but that's one of my bankers today.

Erm, if it's 4-1 I guess it'd be a goal from Henry and not 2.

But it isn't going to be 4-1 to Manure by any stretch of the imagination.

More likely the other way - if Arsenal are at full strength...

 

[Tom Halsey]

In your dreams, Marc.

We were truly brilliant against Tottenham.

 

[marc71178]

Ah yes, beating Tottenham 3-0 thanks to 2 last minute goals really proves that you'll thrash an unbeaten Arsenal featuring the best striker in the world...

Who's the centre halves you're going to have?

 

[Armadillo]

Are you a gooner marc?

 

[Tom Halsey]

Dunno - but he certainly doesn't like United.

Marc, we were absolutely brilliant against Spurs (no bias) and thoroughly deserved to win 5 or 6.

If we play like that, I have no doubts that we will beat Ar$ehole.

EDIT: Typo...

marc supports his home town club - Coventry City.

That would be an alien concept to most on here! :P

The same Arsenal who are unbeaten all season and have an awesome array of attacking talent that will get chances against Manure's pathetic excuse for a defence?

What ever you say.

EDIT: Typo...

Remembering that Utd have no defence, at all, and that Arsenal 2003/04 are arguably one of the best sides ever?

This one could well get quoted a lot.

What ever you say.

But if we do play like we did against Tottenham, we will beat them.

 

[marc71178]

But if we do play like we did against Tottenham, we will beat them.

Assuming Arsenal don't play as well as they can, but play more like Tottenham...
