This Could Be Rotterdam Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 What did Tyler do?He went slightly overboard when Martial scoredAs good as the goal was, I thought the defending was shocking. Can't be letting a player beat you there, and the keeper could've made himself bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Everton beat Chelsea 3.1 and Steven Naismith comes on as sub and scores a great hat-trick. So what do match of the day pundits talk about? Chelsea and how good John Stones (who was wanted by Chelsea) was. Naismith doesn't even get a mention, jokers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just saw the highlights from the ManUre vs Liverplop game that was described as a "derby day" win. Say what?It's very much a derby. Liverpool and Manchester are neighbouring cities, both historically part of Lancashire and they tend not to like each other on all kinds of levels, not just football. Manchester massively undermined Liverpool's importance as a major port when they built the shipping canal 150 years ago and I don't think Scoucers have ever forgiven them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't count 'neighbouring cities' as a true derby. Has to be the same town or city for me - 'traditional rivalry' alone won't do. Liverpool/Everton, Man U/Man C, Villa/Blues are derbies. Newcastle/Sunderland, Forest/Derby County, etc. aren't. But it's an old argument that will never be resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 14, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted September 14, 2015 A derby is a match with more interest than a normal match. A 'local derby' may need geography. Most Man U and 'plop fans regard Man Utd v Liverpool as their biggest derby of the season bar none. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 14, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted September 14, 2015 Oh and wtf is it with Sky bringing that shitehawk Yorke on as the Villa representative for our matches. That word removed couldn't give a shit about us and it shows when he's talking about us. It's an insult to us that they use him. Merson gives more of a shit than he does. Use him instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're from cities what, 20 miles away from each other? Both one club cities, and miles and miles away from everyone else. I think it might come as news to them as well.

villa4europe Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It is a derby and unfortunately it's the biggest derby in English football, given the fact that it's the two biggest teams in English football and they are fairly local to each other, the only thing I picked up from the media coverage (which to be fair I avoided) was the BBCs suggestion that's it's the most historic Derby in English football which I'm not sure how you measure but we'd been playing west brom for about 20 years before they met and personally I hate the idea that it used to be really vitriolic and it's the tourists that diluted it, in my mind pundits like to strangely flirt with the idea that something edgy or dangerous could happen at these games when in reality it doesn't seem a patch on what us vs blues will be or even what us vs the baggies is starting to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arj Guy Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The media pushing Villa Leicester as some huge Midlands derby is hilarious . It's Leicester ffs they haven't been on our radar for years and years and years before last season. As much as a derby as Villa Stoke. Not sure about Leicester fans but most of us don't give a flying **** about their club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
