Dave Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 In light of both @LFCMadLad and @Cannabis shivering away from their usual fishing selves and pretending they're not bothered about this weekend's fixture due to the fear of defeat, I thought I'd start this poll. What do you think is the most fierce modern day rivalry in the Premier League?
LFCMadLad Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 It used to be the Merseyside derby without a doubt. Nowadays for me it's cod or haddock. Not rate bothered! Now it's probably the NL Derby because how close they are in the league. Liverpool are miles ahead of Everton City are miles ahead of Utd So yeah, it's got to be the NL Derby now for sure. Fuck the M23
Harry Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I've always liked the tyne wear derby when both are in the league...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted November 29, 2018 Subscriber Posted November 29, 2018 Bournemouth v Southampton
LFCMadLad Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 The Manchester Derby is nowhere near the fiercest. They don't even fill their grounds on Derby match days. Saying that, neither do Arsenal against Spurs. People say the Merseyside derby is family friendly but is it bollocks. The media promote that by showing shots of red and blue together to calm it down but make no mistake... heads get smashed like anywhere and the grounds are bouncing. What was I even saying.... as if 2 southern puff clubs could be the fiercest rivalry? It's like my nan n Pops Fighting over the remote ffs.

The Merseyside derby is no longer that fierce because Everton has rolled over in past few seasons. There are also few local players in the teams. However, I can see this weekend's game being a good game, because the Everton midfield looks settled and Richarlison's form should make this tough for Klopp's side.

Administrator Stan Posted November 30, 2018 Administrator Posted November 30, 2018 In the English Premier League, I'd say Cardiff vs Swansea.

The Artful Dodger Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 I don't think any of the 'bigger derbies' in England really have that much of an interesting story behind them, it's mainly just basic tribalism 'we don't like the nearest team to us' sort of stuff. There are sort of vague intraicies, Newcastle-Sunderland civil war stuff or Liverpool/Manchester industrial rivalry, but they don't really have the in built hatred you get with the Old Firm or Boca V River. I'd say West Ham v Millwall is probably the most fierce in England. Spurs v Arsenal is usually the best for entertainment though.
Dave Posted December 1, 2018 Author Posted December 1, 2018 Im glad to see The M23 Derby is considered more fierce than The Merseyside Derby. Only one rivalry had flares, fans storming the ground without tickets, masked up fans and reports of knives last season.
Danny Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Fuck off M23 A. It's Brighton, B. There's 45 miles between the two clubs, it's not a derby. Voted Arsenal and Spurs, London derbies are generally the best. Spurs/Chelsea/West Ham, Arsenal/Spurs and West Ham/Millwall. Newcastle and Sunderland up there too. Manchester Derby was great back when Shaun Wright-Phillips was running the show.

Smiley Culture Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Personally wouldn’t describe any of the above as “fierce” in all honesty.
