What is the greatest distance between two football teams contesting a derby? | The Knowledge

Plus: winning two titles in the same season, trophies with family connections and an easy routes to finals

“Carlisle and Barrow will play each other next season in the Cumbrian derby in the National League,” writes Peter Hutchinson. “The clubs are located at opposite ends of Cumbria and the distance between the two grounds is some 78 miles [by car]. Does this make it the greatest distance between two teams involved in a ‘derby’?

A couple of clarifications: answers here will feature the shortest distances by car. The second, perhaps more important, point is that we are excluding matches that are simply rivalries. Specifically, we are looking for matches between teams that are linked based upon their proximity or geography, rather than, say, a ‘clásico’ between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which is essentially a historical rivalry in which the distance between the two teams is largely irrelevant (save for being in the same country).

Can you find a derby based on proximity or geography with teams more than 386 miles apart? Emails to the usual place: knowledge@theguardian.com.

Carlo Ancelotti: ‘Neymar’s call-up depends only on him and what he shows on the pitch’

In an exclusive interview the Brazil coach talks about being in charge of ‘the most important national team’, how to get the best out of Vinícius Júnior and what he learned at Madrid

Is Carlo Ancelotti an ambitious man? The Italian leans back and smiles. “Me? I’m not ambitious. Why? Why are you asking that?” The reason for the question is simple: the 66-year-old is one of the most successful managers ever, with five Champions League wins and league titles in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. But he still wants more. Last May he was appointed Brazil head coach with one objective: to win the World Cup.

“I’m not obsessed with winning,” Ancelotti says. “What I have is a passion for enjoying the moments that football has given me. I’m not obsessed with winning the World Cup, but I have the pleasure and passion to enjoy the moment I’m living in, leading the most important national team in the world.”

Good Omens finale review – a heavenly cast, but a script from flaming TV hell

David Tennant and Michael Sheen are still a dazzling demon and angel double act – but everything else about this controversial finale is smug, grating and stale

The omens for Good Omens have been bad from the start. A litany of abandoned dramatisations of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s 1990 fantasy novel finally came to an end when Prime’s TV version debuted in 2019, but by then Pratchett was dead and the show was awkward and mannered, too in awe of the source material, yet dogged by uncertainty about how Pratchett might have altered it.

Four years later, season two told a new story that acknowledged the dominant energy of the show’s lead performers, David Tennant and Michael Sheen. Without the book to draw on or Pratchett to consult, Gaiman seemed unsure what to do with his stars, but a fan-pleasing finale converted the chemistry between Tennant’s boisterous demon Crowley and Sheen’s thoughtful angel Aziraphale to romance, confirmed with a kiss before being stymied by cosmic obligations.
