Spike 5,107 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Too many teams to choose from, most of them shit, and even when they are good they are still probably a bit shit. I used to like watching Arsenal v Tottenham but they haven't had a mental game in a while now. Arsenal and Chelsea were having some bizarre games for a while, including a Robin van Persie hattrick during which he accidentally Roman saluted the crowd.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,672 Posted February 17, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 17, 2021 The Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal game about ten years ago was probably the best I can remember. The one you look forward to the most on average is Arsenal Spurs still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played a fucking high line anchored by John Terry against ARSENAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed goals, usually red cards or penalties or controversial decisions. Always eventful in my mind. Chelsea vs Spurs is the other one. The 'Battle of Stamford Bridge' in 2016 will never be forgotten. Some of the tackles in that game were sensational. Late tackles. Bodies flying all over the shop. Eye gouging. Brawls. Meltdowns. Had everything. West Ham vs Spurs sometimes has a bit of bite to it too. Can't recall many thrillers like the other 2 games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 2,212 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 For me Brentford Fulham, half my family are QPR so it's difficult to dislike them as much as Fulham. Fulham have for whatever reason been a constant in my life as a negative force. As a neutral, for entertainment it's Tottenham/Arsenal. For hatred it's West Ham/Millwall on the rare occasions they play. West Ham/Spurs was always a good watch when West Ham played at Upton Park. West Ham/Chelsea could be tasty too.

Administrator Stan 18,412 Posted February 18, 2021 Administrator Share Posted February 18, 2021 With fans, MK Dons vs AFC Wimbledon was good. A relatively fresh rivalry in the circumstances. Think they got draw in the FA Cup once before AFC Wimbledon made it back up to the league early as their new club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 There was a period where Arsenal v Tottenham games seemed to end up with wild scores of 3-2, 4-4 and I think there was a 5-4, too. They were fun games to watch as neutral. As with others, West Ham v Chelsea and West Ham v Tottenham are usually good games to watch and the atmosphere comes across well on TV but I would say that Chelsea and Tottenham are only really bothered about West Ham on the day of the games against them whereas West Ham actively dislike the two.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 For about 10 years biggest London derby was Man Utd v Arsenal, then 5 years of Man Utd v Chelsea. Now it's probably Tottenham v Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd are one of the best supported sides in London. Most people in London don't go to football games. The population of London and the South East is about 20m with 2-250k stadium capacity. It's the lowest ratio around by far. A derby is a lived communal experience and Man Utd are a big part of that for under 45s in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scenes when they faced each other in 2009 and 2012 were something else. I hate to think what will happen when Millwall eventually play Chelsea.
