Colby Bishop's 'sugar' quip backfires as Derby County have last laugh amid Nottingham Forest rivalry
Derby County had the last laugh on Nottingham Forest fan Colby Bishop after the Portsmouth striker's pre-match interview last night.
Bishop was talking to the Sky Sports cameras before the Championship clash and how he had scored in his last two games at Pride Park. The forward, who was released by Derby, is a Forest fan and had been hoping to make it three goals in as many games at Pride Park.
Asked about scoring on his last two visits to Derby, he said: "There was a bit of sugar on top with these goals. It is definitely a ground I love to play at and hopefully I can make it three in three."

It didn't go to plan for the striker, however, as Derby secured a thumping 4-0 win with Bishop being substituted in the second half. The Rams had the last laugh as some fans made reference to Bishop's sugar comments as one fan said: "Did he play last night, asking for a friend?"
Another chipped in with: "He went with the sugar on top. 4-0."
A third added: "Sprinkle a bit of sugar on that."
A fourth rounded off by saying: "Leave your sugar at home, mate?"
Derby took the lead inside 10 minutes as Kane Wilson fired in the opener before Eiran Cashin made it 2-0 with a header from a Kenzo Goudmijn corner. Ebou Adams made it three before half-time and then a Marlon Pack own goal completed the scoring for Derby in the second half.
