@LukeEdwardsTele @Telegraph Liverpool and Manchester are closer than Cardiff and Swansea yet no one’s arsed about that.
Neither are derbies if we’re being honest.
And Villa - blues is #2. and it ain’t close.

It’s my list actually and I decided it was a derby as both cities are, historically, in the same county and they are both in the same region of the country. So my rules. If you ask me to do a list you accept my judgement @Telegraph

What do you think is the best derby in British football? 😡 Danger of rancour spilling into stands? 👨👩👧👦 Divided loyalties within families? 🗺️ Silencing the noisy neighbours? @LukeEdwardsTele ranks the best derbies* in British football *Yes, we know Liverpool vs Manchester United is not, strictly speaking, a derby 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@ChrisTrotter161 @J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC They are friendlies this time. He ain’t gonna be flogged.
English
@SC__AV @J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC He's going to get flogged though. When Onana was out for 3 months they called him up and flogged him for 150/180 minutes and he came back injured again

Youri Tielemans expected to train today as he nears a return. 28yo had been scheduled to come back after the international break but there has lately been growing optimism of recovering ahead of previous timeframe and featuring sooner.@TheAthleticFC #AVFC

@JUSTIN_AVFC_ @rich_mortavfc Seems that way.
Still massively overpriced IMO, they overestimated demand.
Not selling out VP is factually a failure.
I don’t care if they make more money with 36k @ £60 than 43k @ £30, they have to be priced to sell out so we can help the team, as they seemingly want us to.
English
@SC__AV @rich_mortavfc Second person to have flagged this, so they effectively charged less for Lille than pre season price announcement? But Bologna will be priced as advertised
English
Genuine question, ticket prices for 1/4 final.
1, too expensive
2, expected it
3, I’m ok with it
4, I don’t like it but i understand the financial aspect.
I understand this is always an emotive issue, so I’m not looking for abuse to anyone in the comments if they have a different perspective.
I want a reel feel for this?
And also will you still be going?
I’ll share some opinions on the pod
English
@rich_mortavfc @JUSTIN_AVFC_ I also noticed this.
Prices were outlined here, with a pricing breakdown for league stage and knockout stage.
Lille was priced per the league stage, Bologna is priced per the knockout stage.

@JUSTIN_AVFC_ As I've said elsewhere, whilst I think Villa tickets are generally too expensive, it's the Lille game that appears to have been underpriced as per the structure the club advertised in May, and that's created further consternation here?
English
@ChrisTrotter161 @J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC If he’s fit then he needs minutes to get up to speed?
I see no issues as long as he’s not flogged, which I doubt he will be.
English
@J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC Absolute nonsense he's been called up by Belgium though, its not like they need to have a look at him, if he's fit he's on the plane.
Surely it's in everyone's interest for him to rest longer?

@JosefKane129573 @grassrootsrefJa @DaleJohnsonBBC This is a panel who have access to every replay and then get all the time they need to make a considered decision on this.
Not comparable to ‘human referees’ under time pressure.
The fact 2 have said this was a booking and yellow card is unfathomably absurd, bin them off.
English
@grassrootsrefJa @SC__AV @DaleJohnsonBBC You're spot on. No point in the panel as the gold medallists at whining will always have an issue.
They demand 100% perfection from human referees which strangely their players or themselves can never deliver.
English
Newcastle's Jacob Ramsey should not have received a second yellow card in the Magpies' 2-1 win over Manchester United at St James' Park.
Ramsey was booked for simulation, but the KMI Panel voted 3:2 this was incorrect. #NUFC

In this crazy scenario 🏴 England would send 8 teams to Europe (assuming FA Cup is won by a Top 6 team):
7⃣ teams to 🔵 UCL
🚫 NO teams to 🟠 UEL
1⃣ team to 🟢 UECL
English
Yes.
7th-placed team in 🏴 EPL would qualify for 🔵 UCL if both these scenarios happen:
▪️🏴 Liverpool win 🔵 UCL and finish 5th-6th
▪️🏴 Aston Villa win 🟠 UEL, and finish 5th-6th
ruben@SpursfanNL
@fmeetsdata What would happen if Villa wins uel and Liverpool wins ucl and finishes 5 and 6? Would it be 7 teams in the ucl?

Yesterday’s result a reminder that Emery is an excellent coach at second/third-tier clubs. Villa haven’t won a trophy in 30 years and performances at Old Trafford have got worse with every season under Emery. He didn’t make the leap at Arsenal. Shouldn’t be considered by #mufc.
English
@RobertoSanPier1 @Dirty_Pitchfork @DPJHodges A senior member of a party who wishes to spend yours and my tax £ avoiding £600k in tax is absolutely a story to most sane & rational people, actually
Is your position that senior government ministers can take our tax yet avoid paying their own by using offshore trusts? Really?
English
@Dirty_Pitchfork @DPJHodges Insane? This entire debate is insane.
If it's illegal, prosecute.
If it's legal, there is absolutely no story whatsoever.
English
I never understand these stories. Is what he’s done against the law, or is it legal. If it’s the former prosecute. If it’s the latter what’s the issue.
Torsten Bell@TorstenBell
Idea that what Tice was doing was remotely like opening an ISA is mad. His was VERY unusual behaviour associated with aggressive tax planning : - UK resident using an offshore trust - he claimed REIT status for a firm that never met the tests (because he owned it personally)

@TikiTakaConnor @TeleFootball @Carra23 Had a better record for Arsenal than Arteta did for the first 86 games of their tenures
(The point at which Emery was sacked)

@TeleFootball @Carra23 Can’t cut it at a big club. Proven on more than one occasion
English
Unai Emery is one of the best, and still most underrated, coaches in Europe, says Jamie Carragher. Why?
Wins trophies ✅
Improves players willing to listen and learn ✅
Track record of revitalising clubs ✅
Premier League proven ✅

Knockout games stopped being interesting to me when UEFA removed the away goal rule. I doubt we ever get that level of excitement and tension back.
