* Derby County for Champions ?! (See Quizlet.) Last month I asked which team out of the top six from the end of the 1969-70 season would finish the highest in 2000-2001 ! As ususal Leeds United fans let me down, and 51% of the vote went to Derby County. Of course, I strongly suspect there was one Derby voter voting 51% of the times, but ... hey ... there's no rule against that. (Hurrrumph!)

Good luck Derby I really hope this poll proves correct ... NOT!
