@Real Music,
Our “great rivals,” Portsmouth and Bournemouth have both been relegated to lower divisions, so we don’t play them any more unless there’s a cup fixture.
Most rivalries are based on the nearest team. Which over here would be Manchester United/Manchester City, Liverpool/Everton and Celtic/Rangers.
The Manchester derbies can be quite nasty in terms of the fans hating each other, even more so in Glasgow where there is also a sectarian element similar to Northern Ireland.
Not Liverpool/Everton, they are quite friendly affairs with rival fans sitting together. There are families where different members support different teams.
I was in the area before an FA Cup final between both sides and I saw many houses decorated in both team’s colours.
