Arsenal vs Spurs is the most meh derby going imo. Never got it, it’s like a bunch of Glenns and Simons saying they’ll bloody down a pint of cider if they lose.

The football is usually decent like, which is more than I can say for our 0-0’s with our neighbours.

There ain't no derby like a horse punching derby.

Celtic are a big name imo.
They were a truly massive club.
But being one of the biggest clubs around involves more than what they do.
No big club in Europe should be failing to qualify for the CL group stages most seasons considering they are almost guaranteed winning their league.
How many top players have considered joining Celtic?

I disagree re City and Chelsea too. They attract top players, win trophies and get to the later stages of the CL ...Chelsea have won both the CL and EL in the past decade.

Agree that we ain't a big club...that was why I compared CL group qualification with us over a decade.

If you are saying Celtic are a big team cos of historic achievements then you have to include a lot of clubs such as Villa, Forest, Derby, City, Everton and Spurs etc.

If you are saying it cos they fill a big ground then you have to include Newcastle, Spurs, City, Everton etc.

If you are saying it cos of world wide fans then I have no idea how they are held in the same league as Real Madrid, Barca, Inter, Juventus, Utd, Arsensl, Liverpool etc.

I wasn't being disrespectful to celtic but fail to see how they are one of the "biggest clubs in the world"... would have agreed in the 1960s and 70s.
But spurs were in the 1960s.
Times have changed.

Top players don't join Celtic or Rangers cos in terms of money they just can't compete with English clubs, even the likes of Burnley or Brighton could probably offer more in terms of wages, thats a depressing thought. They need to shop in different markets, and turn players into top players rather than buying top players at their peak. Just off the top of my head, in recent years Celtic have sold the likes of Van Dijk, Tierney, Wanyama, Forster down to England all for decent money.

Thats why I say, take money away from the likes of City or Chelsea and who wants to go there? Thats why they attract top players, money. Not because they are big clubs. How many trophies were these teams winning before the multi millionaires came along? Not many.

Its all subjective anyway, theres no absolute answer that everyone will agree on. People will have different opinions and thoughts on it.
 
My mate has worked all the big derby/ rivalry games. He says the worst he has done for sheer hatred was Villa/Brum.
The biggest let down were Millwall at Wolves, brave as **** in an empty pub but crawled up their own arses as soon as Wolves turned up, they told Wolves they were going to be at a certain place before ko but didn't turn up, instead hit the city centre and gave it to a bunch of scarvers. Couldn't get on the train back to London quick enough.

Without a doubt.
Been there many a time, late 70's us and them was up there with any. The walk back to the train was eventful to say the least. Me and a mate got cornered by about 12-15 of them once and we thought we were ****ed, then for whatever reason one of them said leave them, one kicked my mate on the top of the leg but that was it. Never understood how we got away with that.

As a Man Utd fan, I watch Spurs with a deep sense of sympathy for their fans and a huge sense of gratitude that we no longer have to watch this eye-bleeding and dull football. We certainly aren't perfect, but we are definitely more exciting to watch. Do Spurs fans really prefer this to what they had under Poch?

Richard, Manchester.
