I would like to know your favourite derby's or rivalry matches as a neutral guys. you cant include your own clubs derby or rivalry.
so heres mine

  1. Liverpool vs Man United
    9.Sevilla and Real Betis
    8.Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad
    7.Genoa vs Sampdoria
    6.Lazio vs Roma
    5.Dortmund vs Schalke
    4.Liverpool vs Chelsea
    3.Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona
  2. Inter vs AC Milan
  3. Old firm- Rangers vs Celtic

For me its not really about the quality of play but the levels of intensity and closeness of the scorelines when these teams meet. These 10 matches are honestly my favourite matches to watch asides from the NLD itself. I cannot resist when these matches are on television.

how about you guys? your top 10's?

  1. United vs. City
  2. L'pool vs. United
  3. Arsenal vs. Spurs
  4. Milan derby
  5. Lazio vs. Roma

I can't make a top ten list though, since these derbies (and El Clasico and the Madrid derby) are the only ones I really watch regularly. Bilbao vs. Sociedad is also one of my favorites, but I don't watch it as often as I would like to. :(

  5. Barcelona vs. Espanyol
  6. Barcelona vs. Real Madrid
  7. Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid

Some honorable mentions:

3- Milan Derby
4- Arsenal Vs Spurs ( crossed ) Lazio vs Roma
5- United Vs Liverpool
6- Inter Milan Vs Juventus
7- Riverplate vs Boca

Can't pick a order, but here you go:

  • Lazio vs Roma (Rome Derby)
  • Newcastle vs Sunderland (Tyne-Wear Derby)
  • Rangers vs Celtic (Old Firm)
  • West Ham - Millwall (East London Derby)
  • Inter vs Milan (Milan Derby)
  • Real Bêtis vs Sevilla (Seville Derby)
  • Wolves - Aston Villa - WBA - Birmingham City (All Birmingham derbies)
  • Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid (Madrid Derby)
  • Barcelona - Espanyol (Barcelona Derby)
  • Blackburn vs Manchester United (Roses Derby)

And being a Arsenal fan the NLD and Chelsea matches are two highlights of the season.

Just wanted to point out that Barca - Madrid is not a derby. These teams come from two entirely different cities. It is merely a rivalry, but among the best in the world in that.

What this weird bug with '? it places a / before it by it's own.

@Zakzook

That bug only happens if you edit your post. For example --> you're, I'm, Zakzook's (no "/"). It only pops up after editing, which I think FootyRoom will eventually fix anyways.

@Dynastian98 The Barcelona - Real Madrid rivalry is pure garbage to be honest, no passion in it. Its pretty much just on footballing grounds nowadays. Couple of decades ago it was a political rivalry but that has completely died out as most die hard fans from Barcelona and Madrid support Espanyol and Atletico/Rayo Vallecano

@Dynastian Because people only see the sporting side of it, its has got no passion in it which makes it a garbage rivalry. Lazio - Roma , Celtic - Rangers and West Ham - Millwall is arguably the three best rivalries in europe. Not because of the quality of football, but because it means something off the pitch not just 3 points over your so called "Rivals".
