Well, like i said..I was asking for everyone's opinion! To tell the truth I don;t know much about Burnley and Blackburn no...probably because in my 19 years of life they've not played each other much!

I'm not trying to criticise you, I was just saying why I regard that fixture as one of the best in England. I've lived nearish Burnley for the last 10 years and I've been to a few of the fixtures and they've been brilliant. Last time they had a night match that all kicked off as well, about 10 years ago. None of the Rovers fans dared to leave the stands as everything kicked off. The town erupted in riots and nobody was allowed away from the car parks. They've met only a few times in the last 30 odd years but one of those times the palyers had to leave the pitch because the fans had started fighting in the stands.

I know, ...i asked for any i'd forgotten..and everyones opinion, tis cool :)

In my 18 years of life I'd still include them in the list...
 
I met a pompey fan on the train down to wembley and he said that was majorly bad. he spoke of one of the firms being more like a big gang, using knives and he mentioned guns, think he might have over exaggerated it a bit though.

Also Millwall vs anybody is bad, they got attacked on the way from a friendly a few years ago, their fans bus got bricked. They're hated worldwide. It's like our Napoli. Not sure who is the worst atm for trouble, I think it's between Millwall, Leeds, Stoke and Cardiff.

I'd say you could quite easily substitute Leeds in for the millwall there. I've not met many fans that like Leeds. I even went to Turkey before and I was talking to the locals and they asked me what club I supported and they started talking to me about our players. Someone asked what I though of Leeds (when the name was mentioned those around me, about 10 of them all spat on the ground at the mention of their name, which I thought was a pretty nice touch). I hesistated for a moment before saying one word, 'scum' which was greeted by massive cheers and they each ordered me a drink. I like Turkey, I had a new found respect for them after that.

Makes me laugh when people consider Man U v Liverpool a bigger game than Man C v Man U
Well, OP did say it's about the level of intensity. For the past few years, the mutual hatred between the Rags and Scousers are much more fiery before we were taken over.

To answer the OP,

Celtic & Rangers
Rags & London
Rags & Scousers
Rags & Us
Liverpool & Everton

Come to think of it, seems like almost EVERYONE hates THEM!

Great guys Turkish football fans, stabbed and killed two Leeds fans in 2000...

And I agree with the poster that mentioned Stoke vs Vale, haven't played each other for years, but very intense rivalry none-the-less.
