Its always been Blackburn and Burnley who can't stand each other

Would be great to have that rivalry at Falmer and in the Premiership, sadly though I can't see Palace making it with us.

Shows how sad and GAY that list is, when it names queererpool and maninthebackside United as a rivalry. That is pretend rivalry if ever there was some.

If that had mentioned Everton/pool then I could take that seriously.

I don't that as a rivalry - big "local derby", but not like Spurs and Arsenal, or even Norwich and Ipswich.

Problem is their grounds are just far too NEAR to each other for any geographical "rivalry" as they share the same neighbourhood.

No they are not! I have mate who is a North End fan and their number 1 rivals are the Tangerine Bastards or Donkey Lashers as he calls them. To you and I they are called Blackpool FC.

Interesting how BHA v CP is no 7 in that list.

What ever doubters might say, the football world accept there is a real rivalry and bordering hatred between both sets of fans.
