Your wrong about that, but im not going turn this into a race debate. Even our owners are from Asia.

I dont either but just because we have asian owners...

Most fans at our games are white. Noway do we have any core of asian fan base. Wolves do, with their sikh drummers

I see hardly any Asian people at the football. I don't see how it's going to turn into a race debate.

Another game betweeen two clubs based in the East Midlands, another tedious torrent of drivel posted on the internet about who 'hates' whom the most, who has the biggest fanbase, who doesn't 'give a shit' about whom, sprinkled with lukewarm, banal, regugitated insults based on a combination of prejudice and/or misinformation about things that happened twenty or so years before most people on here were even born.

Quite a few on here have pointed out that our fixtures against Derby, Forest and other local teams were better back in the 1990s. Could this have anything to do with the fact that back then very few fans went on internet football forums?... :dry:

Couldn't agree more.

Dislike who you want, who cares if they don't feel the same or feel differently?

I don't like Derby, don't like Forest, don't like Man United, don't like Chelsea amongst others, I look forward to the game, hope we win and their fans are disappointed.

Those 2 goals we scored at Pride Park in 2011 were unreal.

Yep, we were playing bloody good football at that point, though in hindsight, the opposition were poor. We hit the wall pretty soon after that

If anyone is after a couple of tickets tomorrow, I have two spare season tickets. If you meet me outside the ground just before kick off they're yours (for this game only obviously) for free.

I'd also accept a pint at half time :)

Ah fond memories - one of the best strikers we have had at the club for a while.

A legendary song to accompany the video also, I see. :D

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has stressed the importance of today's clash with rivals Derby.

Pearson also warned that Nigel Clough's side will present City's sternest challenge for years in the live TV game (5.20).

City have a good record in East Midlands derbies in recent years and manager Pearson says they have shown they can rise to the big occasion.

They have done the double over Derby in the last two seasons and the Rams have not won in Leicester for 10 years.

Against fellow East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest, City have only lost one of the last eight meetings.

"To be a success in derbies, you have to understand they are important games for the clubs, players and certainly the fans, but you have to be able to make clear decisions and keep your calm," said Pearson.

"It is normally mistakes that determine the outcome of the game.

"The players who are in better control of their emotions have a better chance of making the right decisions during the games."

Pearson believes both sides' attacking approaches will produce an entertaining encounter for the fans and the countless others watching on television.

"I have seen Derby a couple of times and they are playing some good football at a high tempo," he said.

"They have made themselves a better team. They are functioning pretty well as a side, so we have to be prepared to deal with that aspect of their game.

"It is going to be a high-tempo game because we have that approach as well, and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in that regard.

"When you have two sides trying to play in that fashion, there will probably be a few mistakes as well.

"It will be down to which side capitalises on those mistakes who will probably win the game."

City will again be without top-scorer David Nugent, who is still recovering from a neck injury, and defender Sean St Ledger is not quite ready after a hamstring injury.

Rams boss Nigel Clough will give a late fitness test to left-back Gareth Roberts, while striker Nathan Tyson is pushing for a start after some impressive contributions from the substitutes' bench.

This is a massive game for us. 3 points v.important to keep the gap to the top relatively small. If we lose and t'others win, then a bit of a gap will form. Let's get behind the boys today!!

Work in Derby must win for me.

Can only think visiting a big city must scare them. 800 is just showing up East Midlands football but its also to be expected from them.

Dropping Knockaert was a big mistake, you don't drop your best player unless you are top prem side and can afford to.

Need to accomidate him in the roll just behind the strikers like when we got to 1st place.

We need to be brave now to get a top 2 place and that doesn't mean starting Marshall instead of Knocky.

We also need a striker in Jan to get some goals. I would play Sclupp with Vardy up from today.
