Be grateful for each derby. You never know when it is going to be the last.
It's been a long time since Southampton played Portsmouth or Middlesbrough played either Newcastle or Sunderland. How serious does a derby have to be for it to count in your image?
>be marginally less shittier than your rival>get to play derbies every yearIt's that easy
>>152644511>It's been a long time since Southampton played PortsmouthThree months isn't a long time.
we used to have a rival up the interstate that kinda sorta formed a nevada/CA derby, but they got disbanded a few years ago. Now theres a new team in reno so maybe itll come backTrying to force an Oakland roots/Sac derby is dumb because they dont care about each other at all outside of a horrible move by an MLB owner
>>152634915i'm currently not grateful for derbys alTHOUGH i was for past 3 years.
>>152634915I can only speak about Bayern-1860 here. It's really frustrating that many younger Bayern fans and basically all casuals don't even have zero clue about this derby anymore, it's just not a thing at all to them. Not surprising, but sad1860 really took a heavy hit and can't get out of the 3rd tier to save their life, meanwhile Bayern entered the biggest dominance phase ever
>>152634915Germany recently got its "North derby" back: Hamburg vs Bremen. Two different cities, but the dominant powers of northern Germany. A millennium of city rivalry and a lot of football tradition as well ... and it was amazing. First game between them in the Bundesliga (and with an actual audience) since 2018. A big asset to the entire league
>>152634915What if they made it a thing that you get a chance every five years to play your oldest rivals from a different division. If the lower ranked team wins they swap places with the higher ranked team. That would be breddy cool no?
>tfw 1 more steel city derby to go and that's it forever
>>152644669>because they dont care about each other at allThey hated each other then the Warriors were still in Oakland
>>152644558those derbies are the best derbies. when you're both shit, you have more spite towards each other, and it gives way to every derby being special.
>>152646054Warriors and kings don’t have a rivalry, no matter how much they try to push a “battle of NorCal”. Most of the current warriors fanbase didn’t even follow the team before curry joined and only remember the kings always being shit(granted they absolutely are). Kings fans hate the warriors but that’s mostly because of the one time they made it to the playoffs, passing over lost in the draft, or because warriors fans are egotistical assholes on par with lakers fans
