Spurs 4 Derby 0
Derby were the victims of a good old fashioned hammering at White Hart Lane last Saturday. We were completely outplayed and were lucky to only lose by 4 given that we were 3 down within the first quarter of an hour.

It was no fun being a Derby fan at the game as the Spurs fans abused us and our team gave us nothing to shout about. Disappointingly, there were quite a few empty seats amongst the Derby fans, which, along with our dire performance meant that little noise was generated.

The gulf in class between the Premier League and the Championship was plain to see and no wonder Billy Davies is looking to strengthen the squad in every area. I know Derby fans love Steve Howard, but I'm not convinved he has the quality we need in this league. I hope I'm wrong.

This is the third time I've taken Mae to a Derby game and we've lost all of them. Its very hard to convince her not to support Chelsea. Still - there's always the next match. Let's hope we can raise our game against Birmingham next Saturday.
