We 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 Derby…

Gutted to see three fabulous years come to an end at @DerbyUni but I leave having made a plethora of incredible memories with the best mates I could’ve ever asked for.

I’m very proud of everything I have achieved and can’t wait for my next adventure! 😁

@Alan160550 Those days are long gone, all about getting my steps in now!

As the football season comes to a close these are my 4 favourite grounds visited for the first time this season. What are yours? #groundhopping

@Alan160550 Not counting a 15-minute walk as my “travels”!

@PassMeTheDrog @michael54625373 @kevinhatchard I meant more that the clubs are in the hands of the fans and still represent their cities and communities rather than some American or Middle Eastern mega corporation with no connection to the club

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@michael54625373 @kevinhatchard @PassMeTheDrog Germans are more interested in preserving football as it should be, even if it is at the cost of continental success

Aston Villa end their 30 year wait for a trophy in Europe.

Spurs ended a 17 year wait for a trophy in Europe.

West Ham ended a 43 year wait for a trophy in Europe.

Palace have a very good chance of winning their first European trophy next week.

Massive congratulations to Villa and I don't mean to take anything away from those teams, or their supporters...

But the financial advantage that the Premier League has over the rest of Europe, appears to have ruined the competitive balance in the Europa League and Conference League.

Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Barcelona, they'll always be able to compete in the Champions League due to their immense pull in attracting the best talent...

But in the two competitions below? Different story.

But take tonight's game...

Aston Villa wage bill for 24/25 was reportedly £273m, Freiburg's was £20.6m.

That's just not a level playing field!

@MrOgbanga @greggevans40 But that’s what I’m saying. Football isn’t lost in Germany, and I’m sure they’d happily keep it that way in exchange for being less competitive on the continent. Winning in Europe is far from the be all and end all of football

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@MrOgbanga @greggevans40 Football shouldn’t be a contest of corporations’ bank accounts. That is what has rendered the Premier League largely soulless. The “silly” 50+1 rule prevents that and keeps football as it should be. Nobody would sell German football’s soul for a bit of luck in Europe.

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@TUFC1899 Are we supposed to be pleased about this? A club like this losing a game like that shouldn’t be applauded with a documentary, come on now.

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@AETshirts And again in Sunday’s sunshine

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@AETshirts RheinEnergieStadion

@ken_crowley @ILoveSnooker_ There weren’t any boos

[EVRYDAY Carter @EVRYDAYCarter]

Paolo “Why is our spacing so bad”
Franz “I need the ball in better spots”
Wendell “I can’t keep grabbing offensive rebounds”
Bane “I just hit my 6th three in a row”

WE ARE SWPL CHAMPIONS!!!

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@TUFC1899 Yeah nice one fellers cheers

[Nick Metcalfe @Nick_Metcalfe]

Thank you Aintree. Thank you Augusta. Great sport. Lovely memories.

But in a way you were only starters. Bring on the big show.

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@MikeKing14_ Have you had any experience of intercity public transport there? I’ve got some great plans drawn up but can’t see that cities are particularly well connected by rail

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@SixthManShow An incredibly refreshing win. A few unforced errors crept in in the fourth but Magic have been so much better on defence and rebounding tonight than recent weeks

[Josh Goodman @GoodmanJosh_]

@JoeTune8 @callum_017 @wiltufc Even three minutes would be a welcome change. They can never be arsed to get behind the team but have the energy to sing about foreign aircraft and the prime minister 🥴🥴🥴
