Three way rivalries

[Mr Putdown]

You didn't do a very good job of hating Brighton last time I saw you, Mr P.

Obviously I was up for kicking your head in but the others just didn't want to know.

Do you think I would have bothered to turn up if it was Charlton or Millwall?

I wouldn't have missed it - or meeting you lot - for the world.

I've got a few Arsenal supporting mates who admit to detesting Chelsea more than Spurs because Spurs have been an irrelevance to them for 20 years.

I think those three are as close to a proper three way rivalry as we can find, except possibly the Didcot triangle.

also know quite a few Tottenham fans who hate Chelsea more than Arsenal

West Brom and Wolves have a deep mutual loathing, but also both dislike Villa. It gets more complicated when you throw in Birm City though.

Outside of England....Milan/Inter/Juventus perhaps?

From colleagues here at work it goes like this:

West Brom and Birmingham City actually quite like each other
West Brom hate Wolves
West Brom, Wolves and Birmingham City all hate Villa
Wallsall hate Wolves and West Brom but get on with Birmingham City and Villa

I think that's what they all said!

What about Portsmouth Southampton and AFC Bournemouth do they dislike each other?

What about Portsmouth Southampton and AFC Bournemouth do they dislike each other?

That's what Bournemouth fans would have you believe, but from what I can tell Saints and Pompey fans couldn't give a rat's arse about them.

Plymouth, Carlisle, Grimsby

What about Portsmouth Southampton and AFC Bournemouth do they dislike each other?

First one that popped up in my head, although I imagine Bournemouth as the little kid jumping up and down inbetween two adults (Saints & Pompey) trying to disrupt them from a staring contest.

Another example of three league clubs in a county would be Colchester, Southend & Dagenham. But I'm not sure how much Daggers are hated, considering they are essentially a non-league side, or have been for most their history.

Boro, Lewes, Crawley

 

[Blue and White Tiger]

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal

 

[pork pie]

forest, leicester, derby?

That would certainly be one - but Leicester being the main hater of the other two, who certainly hate each other more.

How about Coventry Villa and Birmingham?

Brighton/Doncaster/Wrexham

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal

Chelsea/Man U/Liverpool

I went to a Chelsea v Liverpool game a couple of years ago and was surprised by the apparent dislike between the two sets of supporters.

You're right, it's very strong, particularly from Liverpool. There's a lot going on there - new money v old tradition, north v south, Chelsea's desperate European ambitions v Liverpool's five pots, several grudge Champions League defeats for Liverpool, and Chelsea helping relegate Liverpool to a domestic irrelevance.
