da leao： There is nothing quite like a local derby to get the passion from your players; an electric atmosphere and normally a card happy referee. They are exciting games for the neutrals, although it can be a painful 90mins to sit through for the supporters involved.
da lvbet： Derbies and other established rivalries in general are the first fixtures fans look for whenever the new season’s fixture list is generated. The apparent bravado presented by the fans on the outside, stating they simply ‘cannot wait for this fixture’, often belies the true feelings of fear and anxiety which remains hidden on the inside. Often, fans will quietly admit to each other in wishing the fixture rather not occur, such is the unbearable nature of these great rivalries. Everybody knows that horrible feeling of turning up to work on Monday if their team loses…
Full of incidents, talking points, clashes, excitement, and very occasionally, scintillating football, these unique fixtures can prove the highlights of any season.
