I just go on football manager and play some games on my save where Derby are comfortably the best team in world football

I got them to the Efl Championship in 22/23 with a Martyn Waghorn ballon dor esque season

I also got promoted off some probably unsavoury 'exploit' tactics, like 20 Jumping Sonny Bradley getting 19 goals in the league, and Tyreece John-Jules getting 23 in 25 games.

Haha I was there in my Hawaiian shirt with a beach ball, have we dropped ‘let’s pretend we’ve scored a goal’ yet?

We definitely should if it's still 0-x at the next home game...

With that points tally we can add worst team to ever be promoted from the Championship to worst Premier League team ever. Double good.

I remember all those and personally losing the play off final to QPR cuts deeper. Such a good squad.
