LionOfGosforth Posted yesterday at 15:03 Share Posted yesterday at 15:03 2 minutes ago, Nucasol said: Presuming it’s more size of the clubs and immediate peers than geographical. Would have QPR, Brentford and Fulham as more logical bedfellows, with WHAM, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea being the historic rivalries in the PL era. I believe Chelsea and QPR have a thing (maybe more on the QPR side) and years back, Chelsea and Fulham given the proximity. Brentford are so recently in the PL, there's not much there but not speaking from experience like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an incredible experience, very intimidating in that era. Edit - had to check my old tickets, it was actually January 88. Celtic won 2-0. Paul McStay was fantastic.

I suspect it's not even in the same stratosphere. Old Firm yes, and obviously there’s a lot more going on there. Tyne-Wear no I don't think I ever went to it, You can suspect all you want. Spurs-Chelsea, Spurs-West Ham, Chelsea-Arsenal, Chelsea-West Ham. Have been at massive punch-ups for all of them off the pitch. Everyone hates us, for starters, the most coins I ever took home from a match was at Selhurst Park. It’s less violent now because of the changes in the game and the crowd, and the changes in parity. Fulham will always be mundane, and Brentford haven’t been at this level long enough for anything really rough to develop, but the hatred is real between the top London clubs. You have to remember that while there are areas of London that have always favoured certain clubs, we all grew up intertwined. You know what they say about familiarity. I don’t know how many Mackem fans you went to school with, but I remember at infant schools us walking round the playground in Arsenal and Spurs gangs.

LionOfGosforth Posted yesterday at 15:14 Share Posted yesterday at 15:14 This is going to end up being one of the least impressive and dullest title campaigns in living memory. No excitement, average football, no tension. Current Liverpool side not a patch on any of the recent title teams and certainly not in the same league football-speaking as their heyday teams in the late 70s and early 80s.

There is an East Ham and a West Ham in East London. Upton Park is actually a station between them on the Underground, but the new ground we all kindly donated to them is in Stratford, closer to West Ham (and Leyton, annoyingly). If we were going to Upton Park we’d often go to East Ham station and walk, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll get Everton away as their first game midweek under the lights in their new stadium. Anfield on Boxing Day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
