The Best Derby in World Football

Liverpool v Utd games are pants nowadays since Utd started to park the bus and celebrate draws. Worst games of the season to watch by a country mile.

The merseyside derbies are usually ferocious and have had more sendings off than any other English fixture. I prefer to watch them.

Can't really call it a derby, but over the last 3 Merseyside derbies, there has been a total of 1 goal. Is it the worst derby in the world? That stats say yes.

If goals are the only thing that excite you about a football game then you are smaller minded than I first thought.

The Liverpool v Utd games are the worst games of the season and nearly all Liverpool and Utd fans said the same until this season as a draw against us was a massive feat for Utd so it was celebrated like a win.

Difficult to argue with graphs. Unless I wanted to go and check all the goals scored but I don't and therefore I reluctantly agree.

Obviously the amount of goals doesn’t constitute a “good” derby, or even a good game. You have the nature of the rivalry, atmosphere, interest, what’s riding on the game.

Put it this way, if someone offered you tickets and travel to any derby game in the world, which didn’t involve your team, you aint picking Dundee as your destination.

What do you think of the German RB Leipzig vs RB Salzburg derby?

Fluminese v Flamengo is a fierce derby also. Its at the Maracana and usually a few body bags needed too.

OP obviously never been at Ewood when The Clarets visit . The fixture known as 'Fear and Loathing on the M65'

The table and graph are clearly biased and manipulated. The best derby in the world is clearly the game that gives the most amount of trophies to the winner of that particular game. I give you the East Midlands derby.

Forest v Derby
No. of trophies contested for in each game: 1

All other derbies
No. of trophies contested for in each game: 0

There you have it!

It is even being played tomorrow just to prove it’s the best derby. All this coming from a Reds fan.

Dundee v Dundee United

No. of trophies contested for - 2 (league cup and league title)

No. of trophies won - 2 (both for Dundee United, at Dens Park, the home of Dundee)

Barry will probably add in the relegation of United at Dens as an additional trophy but that's because Dundee fans are confused about trophies and what they actually are.

The Brian Clough Trophy is an actual trophy given to the winners every time the two teams meet in any competitive match. I’m unaware of any other derby game that does this.

Dundee’s a beautiful city, no question. It’s the football I’d have an issue with...
