At least we went top of the league after ours

I don't watch English football (haven't since the sky money made it all a bit horrible) so serious question: are Man Utd Liverpool's greatest rivals, and vice versa?

Surely it's Man City and Everton respectively?

The rivalry between Liverpool and Utd has been intense as long as i can remember.. 60s/70s
Although Leeds and Man Utd was a toxic and oft violent fixture back in the day when Don Revie led Leeds.
Man City of course in recent years have been winning things.
But the respective success of Liverpool and Utd in Europe has given that rivalry more of an edge,i think.
No love lost between the cities,either .
Just like the weegies dont like us Edinburghers :greengrin

Newcastle and Sunderland would be seen by some as "derby"rival,as they are one club cities.
Close and hatefilled :greengrin

Probably the season we thought that the championship would return at last to the Holy Ground.
Alas... from the East Fife game Brownlie leg break.
The corrupt SFA hammering Edwards with lengthy match ban.
Other assorted injuries to key players and no squad depth all led to Celtic pulling away from us.
In saying that, might have all been worse if it went to the wire and we got pumped on the final day in Dundee :greengrin:greengrin


Que sera sera

Is the Manchester United / Liverpool rivalry maybe a result of the support that both clubs have had for some time across all corners of the UK and Ireland? Folk with no connection to either club or city but choosing one to follow which has in turn elevated it to a ”derby” of sorts.

I always wondered if the rivalry was as intense between the genuine fans and if they looked upon their games against Manchester City and Everton respectively as the proper derbies?

(For the record, my knowledge of English football is zero!)

Difficult to imagine getting gubbed 7-0 by your city rivals must be even worse on your own patch

I remember 1-1-1973 our whole family huddled around the black and white telly watching the New Years Day Highlights on BBC 1 at 7.15pm our Black Sheep Uncle sitting in the corner with his maroon lambswool V-neck sweater on trying his best to force a smile grimly clutching onto his nip and can of Export

Did I feel sorry for him?

Naw

The fashion choices of Jambos hasn’t really changed an awful lot in half a century.

Back in the era i am referring to ,City and Everton were not a big threat to their city neighbours.
(although Everton had their moments) City nowadays of course

Back then it would be akin to saying Partick Thistle were Celtics main rivals
Although plastic whistle did hump Celtic in the famous League Cup final at Hampden


Our Lancashire brothers on here might differ though:greengrin

Edit
I do take your point about the "tourist support"
but locals in Manchester would sneer if you said they did not have a bigger "local" support.

My grandson goes to Old Trafford a couple of times a season and he does say its like the United Nations.
Their club shop is about the size of the Gyle !
Its always mobbed with "tourist fans",he says.
Some cash that club makes on merchandise alone.

The rivalry between Manchester and Liverpool goes beyond football and back to the time of building the ship canal which meant at the height of the British Empire Manchester could rival Liverpool as a port.

When you've got a stadium that holds 70000, there's room for a few hundred tourists.
