Put your shandy down for a minute dust off your skirt and take a seat while I explain (I will try and keep it simple just for you). Derbys are games played between LOCAL teams, the level they play at isn't really relevant but I will address that point in a minute...Anfield and Goodison are about as local as two grounds get with it so far? Now...they both play in the same league and are seperated by only two points...this suggests (unless you are a complete knobhead) that both teams are competing at a similar level thus rendering your argument about not being close rivals defunct If you would like subtitles or it explained in grunts I will get mighty here to try and simplify it for you
If you would like subtitles or it explained in grunts I will get mighty here to try and simplify it for you leave me out of your petty handbags argument
Two biggest rivals going head to head in a match that means everything to the local supporters? Maybe I'm old fashioned but a proper derby is hatred as well as rivalry, you don't want to see people holding hands and kissing opposition fans whilst watching your team play theirs, that's what Rugby is for. Let's be honest does it matter for Liverpool that much if Everton get one over on them? No. I am sure that mot Liverpool fans would much rather beat United and identify them as bigger rivals. Take Derby vs Forest for example, everything is on the line. Derby are Forest's biggest rivals and vice versa. Forest lose tonight and they could go down. Derby lose tonight and it puts a massive dampener on their season. I didn't mean to slam your derby, I was a bit overzealous but for me the only genuine big derbies in the Premier League in order are: 1) Tyne-Wear Derby 2) Black Country Derby 3) Manchester Derby 4) North London Derby and then on the fringes you'd have Spurs vs Chelsea; WBA vs Villa and Liverpool vs Everton. If Birmingham come up then the Brum derby makes the above list.
See my previous comment. I never said it wasn't a derby I just said it isn't a proper derby, which IMO it isn't in relation to others
Nah,Lallana will be fine in the prem.Unlike Taarabt,he actually passes the ball around and does something with it.
IS Millwall v Wetsham a derby ? yes of course it is, its a real mans derby, not a mamby-pamby Northern girls blouse spit fight, real knuckle to knuckle get on with it derby
I kind of agree with both of you in a sense. But why you've put the Manchester derby as number 3 is astounding, considering their very recent rise. The Mersyside derby is a friendly derby (usually) as families often have split alliances. Plus the fact Hillsbourough touched the whole city, red and blue. Personally I love the Mersyside derby - but prefer it when we beat the Mancs But a derby is a derby - so there's nothing real to debate in that sense
I just answered your previous comment you knobhead I'm unsurprised you can't take it on board though...enjoy your shandy I'm off to hug and kiss some bluenoses
As much as I dislike Liverpool at least their fans aren't utter scum and ****ed up neanderthals like Millwall's
