Raw hatred I think

Following on from a chat at work, just wondering what the biggest five derbies are that don't involve teams from the same town or city? Obviously if you have a city like Sheffield, with two teams in it, then that makes for a derby rivalry. Liverpool, Manc, Brum, shed-load of London etc. But summat between areas that are close (ish) enough to genuinely classify it as a "local" derby and not just a long term rivalry between good teams. So obvious contenders Newcastle v Sunderland, Norwich v Ipswich, left-field choice Chesterfield v Mansfield (two towns who hate each other post miners strike) etc etc Top 5 suggestions? For me, first might be Pompey v Southampton. I lived in Soton for a while and remember a football conversation in a boozer with a Soton fan. Really pleasant, so when I brought up the Barry Horne goal he admitted they were lucky. Happy to give credit where credit was due to all sorts and admit their limitations as a club/history etc etc. Epitome of a mild mannered, thoughtful and knowledgably fair minded football fan who could keep perspective on everything. But then I made the mistake of mentioning Pompey. In a trice he transformed into rage, quite literally foaming at the mouth with spittle flecking his chops. I say that Pompey v Soton "might" be first, though someone could convince me otherwise. If we make if EFL then Cardiff v Swansea comes into it. Thoughts for a top five?

As long as I go after Barry Knight, and thus get a chance to piss on his grave, I'm not fussed. Feed me to the pigs, collect their shite and then drop it from a light aircraft over Molyneux.

At the time it was the joint biggest ever club winning margin at Wembley - along with City beating WBA 6-1 and Forest beating Ipswich 5-0 (both in Charity Shield) and a certain other one, the details of which escape me...

well that didn't last long 😀

Don't just look it up! Who were the last team to qualify for Europe by winning the League Cup (by whatever name), bearing in mind that if the winners qualify through the league instead then that doesn't count.

Don't worry about the lino - the football community will Raleigh round him

They made him swallow saline solution to get him to throw it up. So its "a salt and battery" case now

yeh, he was top notch

Peter is far left in this 1986 team pic, as physio

are they related to the Nightingale (Peter?) who taught at Bolton junior but was also involved with BWFC?

so has he got the most minutes of any keeper?

yep, it should be rewarding skill. There's skill in taking the right pace forward at the right time (defender or attacker). But nobody can judge that to a bloody cm. Just making it pot luck.

Won't be a badger's. They don't do that kind of thing. They are set in their ways.

or this

To think that just over 3.5 years ago he managed a Bristol Rovers team that won 7-0 on the last day to clinch promotion in what must be pretty much unprecedented fashion, even over the entire history of the league...surely if he had anything about him he could have built on that feat in better ways than this!

Then, after cleaning your stained computer desk with a Brillo pad, you had a thought....

"Trump says he will 100% follow through" To be fair, we've all been there...

Seriously, hope it goes well cockers

what about the yacht?

Much better protest at Leicester 20 years ago. Went with on old mate Hull fan for their game there, and before the match Leics fans had produced fake banknotes and scattered them. Picked a couple up and they were produced on what seems more like plasticised paper - hence they've kept. Found 'em recently and just scanned them. Side one - slagging off Peter Taylor and side two the (then current) image of Newton replaced by Ade Akimbaye!

I now know how many triangles are present in this: 160
