Oh yes Alexander the Greats First XI... Didn't they play all their games away from home?

Did they use public transport? I don't consider it a derby game unless you can get there by public charabanc.

Neanderthal Invitational XI were all over Homo Sapiens, despite having comparatively tiny wodden impliments. Shocking last-minute pen gave it to the Saps. As ever, the big clubs get the decisions.

Why don't Derby have a derby?

They had one once...

Nice!  Derby Junction - I like it.

It appears from that we had one too:

Aston Villa    3-2    Witton    2 February 1889

and
Accrington    1-1    Blackburn Rovers    2 February 1889
Small Heath    2-3    West Bromwich Albion    2 February 1889
