The Channel, time, players and graphics may have changed ... but that theme tune!! Great memories of hungover Sundays playing football followed by lazing on the sofa! #footballitalia

Just a reminder, LaLiga and Beyond is now also a bi-weekly podcast. Going into more depth about some of the topics around Spain and Spanish football. This week's episode looks at my time in Extremadura and the scandalous price of Clasico tickets It's also on podcast players Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/40l… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas… So give it a listen if you can and please follow and rate the pod to get it out there as it gets off the ground, thanks.

Sadly, the La Liga & Beyond account has been suspended. It is a brilliant resource for Spanish football and Jordan is now continuing to write on his personal account. Please show your support and give him a follow! 👇
For now it's looking unlikely I can get LaLiga & Beyond back. A lot of hard work has gone in to run the account and build something up over the last 20 months so pretty gutted. I'll be carrying on with this account for now so if you liked LaLiga & Beyond find me here

Let me say this very directly. Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine. The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out. Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.

Inspired by the iconic stanchions at Pride Park, our 2026/27 Away kit celebrates our 30th season in DE24. 🏟️ Pride Park’s co-ordinates are proudly emblazoned on the nape of the shirt neck, ensuring players and supporters take a piece of home with us 'Everywhere We Go’. 🩷
