South America raises the bar when it comes to rivalries I reckon.
Newcastle/Sunderland is pretty fierce too, partly because Northumberland's finest have a pretty heavy handed approach to policing the affair.

Maybe we'll do a 'Matic' with him.
I haven't seen that much footage of him tbh but he looked ok.
Very competitive to get in the top teams but if he really is any good he ought to gravitate upwards - see how he goes over the next couple of years.

My first trip to Asturias coincided with the Asturian derby, Sporting Gijon v Ovideo, I only knew of the latter as that's where Collymore ended his career (by walking out). I couldn't get a ticket so watched it in a bar, the day long street battle right outside was far more entertaining. The hatred is intense and it has carried on even though Ovideo's demise has seen them reduced to playing Gijon's B team.
This clip is from game that would be something like West Brom v Wolves reserves.

Good old West Ham.
Got a place in the EUFA through winning the fair play competition, then promptly get a player sent off in the first round

Yes, forgot about South American, heard so many stories of madness there where football is concerned. Northunbria's finest seem to have had a reputation for heavy handed policing of football matches for many a year, which may cause problems, but I hope they were a bit heavy handed with that Geordie who tried to knock the police horse out the horrible cruel tit.

I've been to about 10 of the Rovers Burnley derbies,all in the late 1970's and 80's.
A lot of hatred from either side,but i always felt safe because of the large support and the large police presence, Bolton Wanderers Burnden Park however was a dodgy derby. Usually played on a Tuesday night with few away fans and few police to protect them.

Yesterday I went to see Killie play Berwick in a pre season game. The match was pretty pish, but the day was excellent, mostly because of Eric Tait, holder of their goals and appearances records. He'd clocked the other member of The Newcastle and North East Kilmarnock Supporters Association at the station and offered us a tour of Shielfield Park!
We met the chairman, vice chairman, had a look at the changing rooms, saw one of our players (Josh Magennis) naked, met our manager, had a wander on the pitch (which is a great surface), got given programmes and team sheets... The guy clearly loves the club and totally embodies what fitba should be about - the fans.

Can't see us winning the play fair league this season now that julian dicks is back.

Sterling quite simply is not worth that amount - a bonkers price in an admittedly bonkers marketplace.

I watched Bolivar vs El Tigre in La Paz a few years back. Following an extremely dodgy 90th minute penalty that allowed Bolivar to equalize, the ref was escorted from the ground under the protection of riot police, as rocks rained down on their shields.
