Thread of the Week - Neil Hallam Column

The Neil Hallam column has long been avidly awaited and read by Derby fans.

It is quite an institution in the city and Hemingway uses the gist of the column to set the record straight. Neil has always had an ear to the Derby County ground and often knows what is going on so when he sets the record straight then it can usually be taken as read.

It's a great shame that we cannot come to some agreement with Mirror Group Newspapers to post the Neil Hallam column which appears in the rather limitedly distributed Derby Trader - but consent has never been given and on the rare occasion when a poster has typed it all out - as it is not available online - then it has unfortunately had to be deleted.

Discussion is picking up on the RamZone Message Board as the Rams gain three points and as our new Club Fanzine site gets improvements and former regulars get used to the new system.

Kenny Miller's debut and wondergoal have been widely discussed and such is the boost in confidence that some RamZoners are even starting to believe we could come away from The Emirates Stadium with a point or even more from the mighty Arsenal.

Certainly the three points against Newcastle has livened everyone up and the depression and gloom has lifted somewhat. After expecting Michael Owen to have scored a hat-trick within 15 minutes it was great to see a brilliant goal from Miller clinch three points for The Rams.

Thanks to Hemingway for starting this thread and to all who contribute on the new RamZone MB on this thread and all others. It is building up as we now exceed 400 registered members. Tall trees and little acorns, remember!
