Derby lead Man United at Pride Park
One-nil in the Carling Cup semi game
They’re playing in the January dark
Will things even out or will lasting fame
Accrue from this night? United seem tame
While Derby’s new manager, Nigel Clough,
Sits in the stands. The fans dream of the same
Success his father Brian brought, the love
Still strong among the Rams faithful, enough
To buoy the son until he makes his mark
Or falls victim to failure and its shame
The sack awaits all managers, so tough
This sporting life. Success, failure, a stark
Division. The Rams guard their Wembley dream
