Has to be North London Derby for me, as I am a Gunner, but Arsenal vs Man Utd comes really close. Lately our games with Man City is something that I cannot wait for as well. Which ones would be your favourites?
The lately Liverpool-City rivalry has been top billing as well
City Liverpool is always good football, and a scuffle or 2 happen
You are gooner, not a gunner. Gunners play for the team
Spurs vs arsenal or Chelsea. Every London derby in crazy
Southampton Portsmouth derby Generally so much hate between these clubs and even the cities hate each other I know some saints fans who won’t even step foot in Portsmouth… So much hate
Used to love Merseyside. It’s not so great nowadays
Birmingham vs Aston Villa. There always seems to be just pure hatred. No solidarity stuff like the Merseyside one, the fans just despise each other and it reflects onto the pitch. Plus the legendary Peter Enckelman moment.
West Ham - millwall
Arsenal-spurs, Liverpool-man utd, Chelsea-spurs are top 3
TLDR: I don’t get the Arsenal hatred of Spurs.
I don’t get arsenals hatred of spurs these days. Since I’ve been a kid when I started watching football 30 something years ago my mate became a gooner. There has never been competition between the two clubs in our lifetime but he hates spurs with a passion. It’s almost like they want spurs to be their number one rival so they can celebrate finishing ahead of them when there is nothing else good going on. If he lived in London I’d get the local banter stuff but not the hatred. As a supporter of neither club obviously I always wind him up about how good Spurs were at the weekend even if I don’t think they were.
Palace Brighton
Tottenham Chelsea is hilarious just because that one game has given it this reputation, meanwhile it’s boring each time
As a Gooner, the NLD is the worst one as it’s nerve-wracking.
For comedy value, it has to be the Manchester Dhabi derby with Merchandise United.
The NLD just hits different
I like Everton/Liverpool because its been respectful after the sympathy for Hillsbourgh
I enjoy Liverpool / Newcastle because it’s historically been a goal fest.
I honestly don’t enjoy Tottenham/ Arsenal as it seems petty, unnecessarily nasty and over the top
I miss the Arsenal / ManU games from the 90s and 00s
I like Everton Liverpool,seems so genuine and intense (“hang the kopites one by one” but also the respect and shared sympathy for Hillsborough and both suffered successive governments and thatchers desire to decommission the city.
