Top 10 Soccer Club Rivalries of All Time

 

Not actually read it yet like. :lol:

 

read it before, absolute bollocks it is!  the tyne wear derby has to be right up there and it's one the oldest as well

 

How exactly?  To be put on that list would be embarrassing compared to the others.

 

you underestimate how big this derby is

 

How big is it?  The Corinthians vs Palmeiras ranked 10th on that list.  Check out the number of fans each of those clubs have.  Oh, and all the clubs in the article are successful too.  Since when have us or the Mackems been successful?

and how would it be embarrassing, sunderland and newcastle are two clubs known throughout the footballing world!

 

lazio's history is nowhere near that of our club and that of sunderlands

 

You are now saying that Newcastle vs Sunderland is a bigger worldwide occassion then the Roma derby?

so i'm guessing you find nufc v sunderland a small match then?  i think your view of the world to be quite limited if you think that only the UK watches this match

To be completely honest, a Clásico has nowhere the atmosphere I have seen on a Boca-River or a Galatasaray-Fenherbace game (although I have only seen those on the telly, but presumably it will be more intense actually being there). I guess we are #1 because of the "bigness" factor.

It is, in relation to those rivalries.  Corinthians is the biggest team in Brazil btw.  Also how about you educate yourself a little with the Lazio and Roma rivalry, that is more then football.  To think that the TyneWear apparently eclipses it - now that is a limited view on the world tbh.

then you don't know the history of the rivalry between the city's of newcastle and sunderland then!

 

the two cities have always been rivals, they used to be rivals for ship building work which exsisted all the way to the late 1950's!  our's is much more than a football match

Maybe they should have put us above Celtic and Rangers in that case?

Barcelona - Madrid rivalry runs deep and has gone on for centuries, to be frank. The animosity is there and is huge, it's just that both sets of fans aren't the most lively in the land.

 

Just out of idle curiousity with yourself being foreign can give the discussion another perspective..   How do you rate the TyneWear derby on a worldwide scale?  Bigger than the fierce rivalries in Brazil?  Or the Roma derby?

Seville v Betis - I've seen that as lively rivalry between the fans?

Interesting read re: Newcastle v Sunderland rivalry.

The only rivalries in this country that are even on truly on my radar as worth noting are

 

Rangers Celtic

 

Newcastle Sunderland

 

Man United Liverpool

 

Arsenal v Tottanham

 

West Ham v Millwall

 

West Ham v Millwall didnt even sell out when they played each other in the League Cup. In fact , it was a very poor crowd seeing as though they don't play each other often.

Fans were probably too scared to turn up in case they were caught in between hooligans fighting.

Its only the little oiks and charvas that see derby's between NUFC and the mackems as the be all and end all of the season, which is probaly the same in all derby matches throughout the world.

 

However, when you have seen 40 years worth of derby matches you tend to get a little blase about such games.

 

OK it hurts to see the mackems beat us, but judging by the players they are trying to buy I think we had better get used to the idea of being the underdog for a few years to come.
