Have been to several Anglian derbies at Ipswich. Always had great atmosphere every time I've been. Have also seen a North London derby at Highbury many years ago. The best derby I've ever been to is a non-english one, in 1987 I saw Rangers play Celtic when the three players (2 from rangers Woods and Butcher) got sent off incredible atmosphere that day.

Another type of english derby I've seen twice is Scotland v England at Hampden Park.

Derby & Nottingham Forest

I know it's Scottish but Celtic vs Rangers, the hate they express towards each other is unbelievable

I think it's all pointless, I hate you because you support a different football team

There's a bit more to a Derby than that.

There's a bit more to a Derby than that.

Really!? You live near me, your team plays near me, you don't support my team. I hate you.

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

Really!? You live near me, your team plays near me, you don't support my team. I hate you.

Yep. It's completely irrational but then again so is football.

If you are after a feisty derby match then you could look at Stoke v Vale. That's proper mental.

 

[Durlston]

Chester vs Wrexham could get quite tasty especially at the Deva. One's a lovely English city and the other's an awful Welsh dump.

 

[Blackadder]

Leeds v Manchester United i think is a big derby.

On a pedantic note, that's not really a derby is it?

 

[Notters]

Can't believe so much discussion has taken place without defining biggest? do we mean:
-Closest geographically?
-Most violent / most arrests?
-Most famous?
-Hardest to get tickets for?
-Longest lasting?
-Best atmosphere?

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

I think it's all pointless, I hate you because you support a different football team

So Brighton v Palace means nothing to you?

 

[Notters]

Really!? You live near me, your team plays near me, you don't support my team. I hate you.

Jordan! Have you been to selhurst park?!

 

[Finally Falmer]

Trigger & Defrocked Priest have called this one correctly. It's Wolves v West Brom. i seem to remember some official study/research on this subject a couple of years back, taking into account all the different variables, and the 'winner' was Wolves v West Brom. (and i have been to it with a Baggie mate - and can verify it's proper f***ing mental !)

 

[HalfTimeOrange]

Leeds - Galatasary isn't very friendly, but they hardly play each other much.

Speaking of Turkish sides there rivalries are usually quite fierce, mainly Beskitas, Fenerbache and Galatasary derbies are very heated.

 

[Martinf]

Newcastle v Sunderland

Man Utd v Man City

 

[Guerrero]

Liverpool v Everton.
Brighton v Palace.
There aren't any others.

Apparently Man United Vs Man United is bad.
