RE: Why the Premier League Is Best in the World
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The rivalries are one of the best parts of it. You’ve named some of the big derbies but there are others too which come and go over the years as clubs rise and fall. Not too long ago you had United vs Arsenal as a real grudge match. United vs Liverpool is always a big fixture and even rivalries that pre-date the Premier League era like Chelsea vs Leeds permeate into the modern day. Fans don’t forget!
I’ve pre-warned my wife that the few days up to and including the 16th Jan are going to be tense in our house in the run-up to the North London derby. Looks like a lot could be riding on that game! She’d probably be best getting herself out of the house for a couple of hours …

Ahahahahaha... I love the last part of your comment. This reminds me of me and my dad. Although I'm an Arsenal fan, I love to cheer for Real Madrid while he is a Barcelona fan. I love to get under his skin, especially when they're in a poor run of form.
I've grown to take the rivalry between Chelsea and Arsenal for who owns London cos I feel Arsenal are way ahead of Spurs, although the atmosphere when we play Spurs is incomparable to that of against Chelsea. 😁
Who is the Spurs' fan between you and your wife?
My wife doesn’t follow football. It’s more a case of her being better off our the house so that she doesn’t have to put up with me pacing up and down, shouting, swearing and just generally being bad company!
Barcelona fan! Poor guy! Doesn’t have much to shout about at the moment !BEER
Sorry, out of BEER, please retry later...
Oh... Cool!
Barca fan 😂
Wow I couldn't even imagine how North London would be in the lead up to the derby. We really don't have anything on that level here in Sydney unfortunately.
You just gave me an awesome idea for a post. Examples of players that have played for two fierce rivals. Sol Campbell anyone?
Sounds like a good idea!
The real controversial ones are when they transfer directly from one rival to another i.e. Campbell
Ashley Cole
RVP
Carlos Teves
They'd all be good examples
Do they still do the state of origin matches in the AFL?
Thanks mate. Some real traitors out there!
There was an origin charity a year or two back but that was it. Once Freo, Port etc. joined I think it became less relevant. Especially now with the Giants and Sun's recently it's really become a national game. Although not that big up in Sydney
