Juventus vs Inter Milan is called Derbi d'Italia even if they are on opposite sides of table.
The one additional reason though why they like to feature that "derby stuff" when they talk about Arsenal vs United or Liverpool vs United is a dig at City and Chelsea. They want to say "these are the proper derbies, teams with isstry" and not these new sugar daddy clubs..
Arsenal and Liverpool miss times when those matches were title deciders, and United miss times when they were regularly beating those two for titles. They don't like new Chelsea and City competition.
no...no it bloody isn't.
a derby is two teams that either play in the same city or close by to each other.
city v utd - derby
city v stockport - derby
city v macc- derby
city v oldham - derby
city v chelsea - just a big game
ushited v arse - just a big game (and an old rivalry).
chelsea v arsenal - derby.

Yeah, that's your English definition of derby, geographical one, I had some discussions about that before so I understand what you mean.
Nobody share that view outside of England though, Derbi d'Itallia is great example for it.
