To summarize and help a little. Both clubs use the old name for a foreign city in their name, in addition to their own - which is unique. So they share a common heritage but this doesn't make games between them peacefull - in fact the league was suspended following an abandoned match between them when the president of one of them took off his jacket on the pitch revealing a gun attached to his belt ! But generally they hate the shamrocks more than each other. Both clubs share a similar emblem and the match between them is named after this emblem (which also comes from abroad). One of them are playing against British newbies next week.

Those are the two clubs Fez <applause> The rest of the clues - translated into English AEK means athletic club of constantinople (later Istanbul), PAOK also include the name Constantinople in their name. Both clubs were founded by refugee Greeks who had been living in the Istanbul area for centuries prior to the population exchange after the Greek Turkish war of the 1920s. The emblem of both is the Byzantine double headed eagle - again in reference to Constantinople - hence the Double Headed eagle derby. They both hate the shamrocks (ie Panathinaikos). The British newbies are Brighton, new to european football, who play AEK next week. Over to you.

Why might you not "breathe freely" now in Watford... or anywhere else?
This is a loose question with the answer being specific!

And apologies for the delay!

Watford tribunal ruled it was not a human right for a pilot to go without a mask and breathe freely as he could spread disease to other

That's the one. A pilot, of all people, decided that he was exempt from wearing a mask and British Airways told him otherwise. He was stood down so he took them to an Industrial Tribunal where he was rightly told that his alleged freedom not to wear a mask impinged on everyone else's right not to be put at risk from the virus. The tribunal was held in Watford.
All yours!
