SSN now saying the Manchester deby is the greatest on earth. Fuck off, Man Utd fans would rather beat Liverpool, Arsenal, or Chelsea then City.

 

Nee chance, few year ago maybe but absolutely no way now.

If you ask me, the Manchester derby had more to it before the money. To me, now just feels like another 'big 4/6/8/however many are big these days' clash. Don't know what Mancs would agree with that tbf, it is just an outsider's point of view.

In the 80's?

 

I'm sure Man Utd fans take it alot more seriously now, it's always been a bit one sided with City being shit and the only reason they have rivalries with Arsenal and Chelsea is because their going for the trophies like ours in the 90's, there's no way they hate them as much. I bet there's loads in Manchester who work and live amongst City fans that hate them more than Liverpool too. Nothing compares to a local rivalry if you're on the same level.

Fwiw every Man United fan I've ever known has cared far more about playing Liverpool than Man City. That might have changed a bit now mind.

SSN now saying the Manchester deby is the greatest on earth. f*** off, Man Utd fans would rather beat Liverpool, Arsenal, or Chelsea then City.

 

It probably doesn't make it into the top 3 derbies in Britain, nevermind the world.

 

 

What would you say the top 3 in Britain are?

 

1. Old Firm

 

2. Tyne and Wear

 

3. ???????

 

 

I know must of us would put our derby above the Old Firm derby and so would I, but for the fact that the old firm derbies are the only real bearing on who wins a trophy in Sctoland.

1. Old firm

2. Tyne-wear

3. West 'am Millwall

 

All 3 far behind anything you'll come across in Eastern Europe/S. America.

Not sure about that last sentence. Boca/River and a couple of others but what are the ones in eastern Europe? Are they not just more down to location rather than underlying factors in the three listed there like religion/politics, civil war and docklands business.

There loads of big ones in South America aside from Boca v River.

 

Fla v Flu in Rio

Nacional v Penarol in M'video

Huracan v San Lorenzo in BA

Independiente v Racing in BA

Universitario v Allianza in Lima

 

Saying that every other game in Argentina is a derby as 8 teams hail from Buenos Aires city and 17 of the 20 are from Buenos Aires state.

always get the impression with that that it's become vicious in an attempt to legitimise itself, as stupid as that sounds

 

southampton - pompey the same, like they're out to prove how much they hate each other instead of actually wanting to win a football match & bragging rights
