I've lost count of haw many times Sky Sports have featured Derby County recently. They do it for the Rooney factor, it brings in more viewers. Supposedly.
And I don't mind that, he's a seriously big name, but all the non-stop eulogising does get a little wearing.
We should try Rooney Commentators Bingo.
And that's why Derby signed Rooney
Rooney shows he still has the class
Rooney is running the game
Rooooooooooneyyyyyyyyyyyy Anyway, sorry for my mini-rant.
So, Fulham sit 3rd, whilst
Rooney's Derby are 10 places behind in 13th, though over their last 5 games there is only point point difference. (In Fulham's favour).
Fulham play a nice style of football, so might well be a decent game.
Finally, so you know, Saturday's featured game will be Leicester v Man City, while on Sunday we will end the week with Arsenal v Everton.
Back to tonight's game, I'll watch Rooney, of course I will, but my main focus will be on the work ethic & skill of Mitrovic. Lovely footballer to watch.

At first glance you may think this is Jack Grealish - Derby wish - but in fact it's Max Bird, who certainly does a great Grealish lookalike. Decent young player, plays in midfield alongside you-know-who.
Here's how The Racing Post see the game;
https://www.racingpost.com/sport/football/derby-county-v-fulham-match-betting-preview-prediction-free-tip/423944
Note it starts with this sub-heading;
"Wayne Rooney from the United States has been a massive coup, not only because of the class that he brings to a level which he could grace in his sleep".
And this photo.
Oh yes, it's everywhere.
I happened to be present at the first game in Derby's Pride Park stadium, an event marked by a floodlight failure. The wags immediately christened the Stadium Pride Dark.
