Liverpool v Everton

Its derby, and you have appeared to miss the Irish derbies, the ones most people on this forum go to see.


Reading v Leeds (wtf?) and no Rovers v Bohs?

Epic Fail etc

Rovers are in Lancashire... ?

Plus, I have them in already!

That is weak. Seriously weak.

Explain how Reading v Leeds, which is neither a derby nor a game that has been played in a number of years, is likely to attract more interest than the Dublin Derby, which at least 50 posters on this forum will be at?

Meh. Bad luck with the spelling.

The one I truly can't wait for is whenever FC United of Manchester are drawn in a cup against Man U.

I'm lumping everything I have on FC United safe in the knowledge that the moral infirority complex the 100K-per-week Man U stars will have is going to cause them to totally underperform.

Are you telling me reading and leeds or wolves and bolton (its WBA Wolves have the fireworks with), which aren't derbies, would be more likely to get votes than any of the Irish derbies?

Its a failed thread from start to finish.

Reading and Leeds ffs.

fkiely

Wolves v Bolton

Not sure how you could classify Arsenal – West Ham as a derby really, there isn’t that much between them. From the perspective of the latter, it’s Millwall first, then Spurs, then Chelsea. From the list I shall have to plump for the Spurs match, love that game, especially the walk up from Seven Sisters...

West Ham v Arsenal

LOL, no merseyside or manchester derby, yet Reading v Leeds who are a couple of hundred miles apart are in it, never mind the iferce local rivalry between Bolton and Man U (who are at least geographically close).

Warper

United v City

Barca - Real just has that something special. Not to mention they have the best players on the planet between them.

I'd say the Biffo's favourite Darby match was the All-Ireland final v Kerry in 1982. My nearest one is the Galácticos Derby between Athlone Town and Longford Town which I haven't had the pleasure of being to yet. I would imagine that more people on hear would have attended an LOI derby due to the amount of Dublin clubs in the league.
What is the definition of a Derby I thought it would be between 2 clubs form the same City therefore ruling out both Galácticos Derbys.

patmac

Maybe Reading and Leeds is a Darby and the rest are Derbys.

The mere fact that Boca Juniors vs River Plate isn't on it says it all.

He probably hasn't heard of it because its not on Sky Sports.

Mersyside derby is another glaring ommission too.

Option No2 in the poll mate.

Sorry, I forgot about Pool & Everton. Guess it reflects Pool's fall from from grace, as it just slipped my memory.

Yeah was trying to remember a few big matches from South America. I remembered Boca Juniors being a big team in Argentina but I couldnt remember the other team. Sorry.

And you were doing so well.

Rovers v Bohs & Pool v Everton added as I could only add two extra options...

Whole thread is a bit of a clusterfúck though so maybe locking it and someone doing up a proper one would be better.

El Classico ... Athlone Town v Longford Town

Two of them was more than enough for me.

I think Carlisle v Southampton should be in the poll.

stovelid

Liverpool v Everton

Pompey and Southampton pretty nasty too.

To be honest, polls that include multiple clubs are useless unless you want them to run to 2-3 pages long or something.

West Ham v Arsenal

sorry but I feel the original poster needs some primary school-esque education

GavRedKing

Rovers v Bohs

I voted " Other "

My favourite derby match is Chelsea v West Ham. The old fella is a Hammers fan and is always fun too go out for a few pints with him for it.

My favourite Darby is O'Gill (& the little people)

I opened a slightly less daft thread. Emphasis on slightly.
