Wiki lists the following, though I have no idea if they're in general use:

  • M1: Luton v Watford
  • M11: Bishop's Stortford v Harlow
  • A5: Nuneaton v Tamworth
  • A500: Crewe v Port Vale
  • M69: Coventry v Leicester
  • A62: Huddersfield v Oldham
  • A627: Oldham v Rochdale
  • A259: Peacehaven & Telscombe v Newhaven
  • A27: Bognor Regis v Whitehawk
  • A420: Oxford v Swindon
  • M23: Brighton v Palace
  • M4: Reading v Swindon
  • A13: Leyton Orient v Southend
  • A61: Chesterfield v Sheffield United/Wednesday (a double!)
  • A49: Hereford v Shrewsburty
  • M66: Bury v Rochdale

Also the M69 for Wasps v Leicester Tigers in the rugby. 

 

Loving those non-league rivalries. 

 

Well that list is bollocks.

 

It's Stoke City vs Port Vale and Bury vs Bolton for a start.  (Anyone thinking Rochdale is on the M66 has never actually looked at the route of the M66 for a start.)  And Wasps were in London until a few years ago.

 

Chesterfield and Huddersfield are orphaned when it comes to derbies.  Generally it was Rotherham and Bradford respectively but more due to familiarity than anything else but the problem is that everyone around them is generally paired off already.

Dreadful Palace performance, lucky to come away with a point, Hodgson's anti-football works 60% of the time but his continued lack of a plan B for when the game doesn't suit it is the reason some of the Palace faithful are losing a bit of faith.

I've never heard any Cov fan so much as mention Leicester either.

 

Villa on the other hand...

We do definitely have a dislike of Leicester, just not as much as other teams. Leicester fans in places like Hinckley, in the south of the country have a thing about Cov. Older Cov fans have a thing with Wolves dating back to the sixties. 
 

I thought that everyone in the midlands hated the Villa though?

West Ham responding as expected to having the inspirational David Moyes back out of his plague exile.

It might just be me imagining it having lived through over 40 years of supporting Spurs, but we still don’t look exactly comfortable at the back.

maybe, but 'come on lads it's Spurs' doesn't really work as a HT team talk if you are West Ham

Just like Norwich - Ipswich!

There’s clearly more to it than just distance between the two stadiums.  I’m not exactly sure what, but there has to be something.  

 

Ipswich to Norwich, via the A140 is hardly EVER 1 hr and 15 minutes, a lot of it is single lane, and full of lorries and tractors, add half an hour on to that easy :doh:

Ive also read cov/Wolves was A big deal in the 60s. Sounds like it was pretty nasty actually. 

 

Wolves never have had a rivalry with Villa aside from a silly spat three years ago which is mainly played out still on Twitter.

Blades are in real trouble this season.  Our inability to finish chances is killing us.  It's a shame - McBurnie was decent today aside from his finishing, but that's ultimately what we pay him for.  In the end we were lucky to come away with a point.  The game should have been dead before half time.  It's a strange situation.  I hope nobody would ever ask for Wilder's job.  He still makes the right decisions as far as I'm concerned.  We definitely struggled to compete in the window, despite still spending a reasonable amount.  Going to be a tough season to turn around.

I bet you're just gutted about this post making you look foolish. 


silver linings and all that.

 

I’ll take looking foolish for that look on Mourinho’s face.

 

Wish Amazon were filming his lunch in the canteen with Levy tomorrow.

 

Didnt Bale go 19 without a win first time round ? That’s 1.
