    I'd have any of the three alongside MAG.

    Sordell gets a place just for the tattoo thing.

    Apparently if he scores a hat trick the others are getting a greenie junior tattoo

    It's amazing how rubbish Sordell has been since he left Watford for quite a big fee.

    They are still a smaller club than us even though we are in a lower league than them.

    Yeah much smaller, makes me feel a lot better

    Also makes me feel like a Newcastle fan

    I'm incredulous Darren Bent plays for anyone other than us, nobody loves that man more than me

    It's such a contrast when you compare them, their history and tiny budget with the other 2 sides in the bottom 3 Birmingham and Sunderland

    Nigel Clough should win manager of the year for still keeping them in contention to avoid relegation from the Championship.

    Compare and contrast with our dross after Powell.

    Maybe we can nab him if they go down, I think he'd do a good job.

    This sounds far to much like something from a Sheffield Weds fan . Surely we're better than that arent we?

    Nigel Planer is more likely for our comedy club.

    Yep, he's faded but he was brilliant that Bank Holiday Monday away to Sheffield Wednesday.

    Burton have done well to compete in The Championship and if they stay up, it will be a massive achievement....although a goal diff of -36 doesn't look great.

    Burton Albion are being investigated by the Football Association over deals made during their British-record transfer spree last summer.

    The League One club have confirmed they are working with the FA and the English Football League over the issue, but would not comment on the specifics of the case.

    However, BBC Radio Derby understands the investigation concerns the level of involvement and potential conflicts of interest relating to the outsourced recruitment which was relied on, following Burton's takeover by the Sweden-based Nordic Football Group (NFG).

    Well they brought in a lot of players but most of them were really bad so isn’t that penalty enough?
