Manchester United vs Liverpool is the biggest game in English football

>Manchester United vs Liverpool is the biggest game in English football

What is then?

England has no big Clasico-level game of the season. Just a bunch of derbies and rivalries whose relevance in the league as a whole depends of the teams involved. And in recent history, we've only had like one season where both teams were relevant, in 08/09.

So it is the biggest game then.

Nld

Yeah, because that's the conclusion you were meant to take from that post.

And that's not just counting the premier league. From 78 to 92, which could arguably be called Liverpool's dominance, man u were largely irrellivent in the same sense that Leeds and forest are irrelevant today. (They were nearly relegated in the late 80s.)

And if we go from 50 to 78, united were quite legendary but Liverpool were not so legendary.

Yes.

Not a bong, but in American sports rivalries are always there however the importance of them changes over time.
As it should.
For example the Yankees and the Mets is a big Jew York rivalry, but if one or both of them is having a terrible year, or a terrible few years, no one gives a damn about that particular matchup.
If teams are having a bad year they shouldn't be rewarded with faux importance when year by year the biggest games are between the teams who are performing at their peak.
In the English league, as the table is now, it would appear that Tottenham vs Chelsea was the biggest game of the year so far.
Call Manchester U vs Liverpool "the most historic" game, but it should just automatically always be "the BIGGEST".

but it shouldn't* just automatically always be "the BIGGEST"

There isnt a clear cut "biggest game" when you look over the years because Liverpool and United rarely meet when they're both at their best timelines.

As of now, the biggest game is Chelsea-Tottenham. There's an actual hatred between the two and the amount of times they've fucked each other over in the last 6 years is incredible:

>Spurs 5-3 Chelsea
>Chelsea's 2012 CL win to kick Spurs out of CL
>Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham
>Chelsea breaking Tottenham's unbeaten run
>Tottenham breaking Chelsea's win streak

I'm not having that. Liverpool United is the biggest game

and Arse Spurs is bigger than Chelsea Spurs

>in American sports
Stopped reading right there

NLD is probably the second biggest game. Either that or Manchester Derby.

At this point, Arsenal - Chelsea is bigger than Arsenal - Spurs.

Apart from fans of both teams, literally no one cares about NLD apart from Sky.

>no one cares about the single most entertaining derby in the country

ok m9

The same could be said for liverpool united, in fact every match is like this

What about Manchester / Arsenal for that 4th place trophy and possession stats.

Im not a fan of a team in the PL but I'd argue that the Merseyside derby is more entertaining than the NLD.

Every single Arsenal fan would disagree with you

United vs. Arsenal died when Ferguson left. Only nostalgia fags really care about that fixture, which is basically every Arsenal-fan because it takes them back to the last time they were relevant in the title race. United-fans are getting there.

Nah. Don't forget about the Mourinho-factor that intensified the rivalry. Arsenal is superior to Spurs always anyway and they don't get enough of rubbing that one in, but the rivalry vs. Chelsea is more relevant to the goals of what both clubs want to achieve and Chelsea beat Arsenal to a CL-trophy. In today's age, young Arsenal-fans who first experienced Arsenal in the Henry-days are definitely more used to Chelsea as a main rival than Tottenham, who is also a huge rival, but in a little brother-type of scenario. Or a noisy neighbour.

No.

its the biggest game in world football you yank faggot, go and get shot

Convincing.

>he honestly believes that Liverpool/Man U is a big game because Sky told him so

kys you plastic cunt

Nah mate. I live in North London and Arsenal-Spurs is a much fiercer rivalry

>spurs just win a couple league games
>Chelsea derail their title hopes and fuck them out of champions league football

Not much of a rivalry there

Newcastle Sunderland la

>Americans watching divegrass

>that fucking hair.
