    IMO actual Liverpool fans are what I've just said in my last post about a lad I was talking to "a scouser..., a Liverpool fan born and bred hasn't miss one match this season home, away and abroad..."

    what about [insert example of scouser here]?

    Look lads, we know where this is heading. The thread isn't for discussion of what makes a real fan, or an actual fan, or an imaginary 3d representation of a fan, please leave that discussion for another day.

    Merseyside Derby everytime, nothing compares to beating your local rivals.

    It's obvious why. Half your mates are United & you've put up with everything they threw at you through school etc. It was hard to take - supporting Liverpool when every game against United was a loss. Then out of no-where we became stronger, started beating em. All United fan's don't like this because they weren't used to it. Now all they want is our demise & we want to beat them because it anger's you. We've tasted a degree of success & want it all - we're close but things have happened & it could be back to the 90's. We can't have that - the recovery starts Sunday.

    That's why the United game is bigger than Everton - to me anyway

    Sh*t. I remember when it was the other way round!

    The Merseyside Derby probably overtook it in the mid to late 80's, but personally, it was always United. Even in the 80's, you never knew who would win.

    I'd say most actual Liverpool fans would consider the Merseyside derby much bigger. Look at the biggest derbies in the world, the teams all play in the same city;
    Boca Juniors vs River Plate
    Aris vs PAOK
    Crvena Zvezda vs Partizan
    CSKA Moscow vs Spartak Moscow
    CSKA Sofia vs Levski Sofia
    Dinamo Bucharest vs Steaua Bucharest
    AIK vs Djurgården
    Brøndby vs Copenhagen
    Inter vs AC Milan
    Lazio vs Roma

    .... see the trend?

    the biggest match in club football is barca vs real not barca/espanyol or real/athletico

    the biggest match in italy is ac milan vs juventus

    the biggest match in holland is ajax vs feyenoord

    the biggest match in england is liverpool vs man utd

    From a neutral perspective.


    Bohs v Rovers is bigger then all them put together for me.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Probably a question for Liverpudlians to answer tbh.

    Talking to a scouser there, a Liverpool fan born and bred hasn't miss one match this season home, away and abroad, member of Spion Kop Ultras (the lads who organise all the tifo flags, etc... on the Kop) and he said that Everton is by far the bigger match, he says the rivalries are different but that Everton is the outright winner. He also said that that would be the general opinion of the scouser Liverpool fans. There's the conclusion so.

    Already got to ask a scouser and his reply is above.;)

    From a neutral perspective as ScienceNerd said, as I had quoted above what a Liverpool die hard fan he thinks Everton is a much bigger derby.

    Local derbies are much more important to fans who are from that area, it's about pride, which is the best team in the city, Shels playing Pats, Rovers or Bohs is much bigger than us playing Cork, Monaghan, Derry, Waterford etc...

    BTW biggest derby in Italy is by far Roma -v- Lazio.
