The biggest game in the Premier league?

Based on recent seasons form I would say Man Utd vs Chelsea is the biggest game because they have been the best and biggest two premier league clubs. Arsenal aren't what they used to be and Liverpool are p1ss.

Liverpool v Man Utd is our 'Clasico'.  If you're going by the current best two teams then the biggest game will soon be Chelsea v Man City, which is quite sad.

have to go with Man Utd Liverpool

Last season there was no doubt whatsoever that the biggest games of the season were the Manchester derby matches.

I'd suggest we could have more of the same this year too.

would have to have arsenal utd and chelsea utd above those games until city actually 'win' something,btw thats not knocking city just an overall view

KR is correct

I wasn't talking about relevance to the outcome of the league, but in terms of needle before a game the Manc games overtook everthing else. Definitely expect more of the same too imo.

Man Utd v City is getting bigger and bigger

Man City v Chelsea .

Blackburn v Bolton

Villa Birmingham END OF THREAD

West Brom v Wolves....ask the Old Bill !!!

Alex thats the smelliest game in the Prem

It is in the away end, I'll give you that

Liverpool v Man Utd. History simples.

FlipFlop knows his stuff imo

arse v tottingham

For venom Blackburn v Burnley.

Blackburn v Burnley

For venom

Thats because its like a family Party! there all pedigree people.

It depends how you look at something as the big game.However if your talking most watched game on the planet (even more viewers than Real Madrid V Barcelona) then yes your talking Liverpool V Man U.

If your talking the 2 most succesful clubs in the England, yes your talking Liverpool V Man U.

If your talking about the 2 biggest fan bases in England and massive rivalry, your talking Liverpool Man U.

Liverpool and Man U could both be in the conference and it would still be the biggest game in England by far.

HTH

wigan v fulham...

for the atmosphere

Definitely Villa v Blues, though the games have been a little one sided in recent years, which takes away most of the anticipation.

MUFC isn't even the biggest fixture for Liverpool never mind the league.  'Clasico'??  get a grip

arse v tittnumb

end of thread

I'm not sure that Man Utd - Liverpool has EVER been the biggest game in English Football.
Back in the late 60's and 70's when I started going to Anfield,the biggest rivals for Liverpool were Leeds and then Notts Forest.Man Utd were never really succesfull enough during that period to warrant enough "bigness".
Throughout the 80's,again,Man Utd not really that good and Everton became the main rivals.
90's onwards Man Utd succesfull and Liverpool dropped away,leaving Chelsea and Arsenal to become their biggest rivals.
The modern,nasty rivallry has only prevailed because we live in hysterical and emotionally incontinent times,where each and every rivallry is overhyped and cranked up to stupid levels -Norwich/Ipswich and Portsmouth/southampton ffs!.
Liverpool/Man Utd have never been hugely succesfull at the same time,which disqualifies it from being,or ever having been the biggest game.

Leeds v Man U

Who cares.

We do not have anything close to the Barcelona v Real Madrid rivalry which has been an enormous game since at least the accession of Franco to the presidency. It's about more than just football, it's about politics and non-sporting resentment too. Furthermore Barca and Real have been at the top of the Spanish game throughout that time. Not true of any English team.

North of the border however, you could call Celtic v Rangers the Scottish equivalent. I'm not talking about the quality of the football. The one thing that devalues the Old Firm derby compared to Spain's effort is that it's played too often to have quite the same gravity.

History Maker is correct.

for pure hatred def Wba v wolves....pure hate and a big game.

^chelsea v spurs 'aint the nicest,i farking hate them even at my age.lol

man city v chelsea of course - two teams steeped in history, support like no other  ...and star names on the field .

chelsea have had fine support over the years as have man city

funny thread

dont agree with history maker!real barca isnt THAT bad!sure the real fans clapped messi's performance after their 6-2 loss  to barca at home!!that wouldnt happen in glasgow i dont think!

best game in the prem lge is easy man u V pool!

Chelsea v Fulham. Chelsea's ground is actually in Fulham and Fulham want them out.

Also there is a lot of rivalry between Chelsea and Fulham fans about which area has the best wine bars.

interesting!! perhaps im biased , just like the hype of the man u pool games!

The biggest games in this year's Premier League will be the two North London Derbies, which will decide the destination of the title. 

This season Man Utd v Liverpool will only decide which one of these two spent forces will enter the Europa League in 2011/12.

HTH

Real vs Barca is more a gay love type rivalry than real hatred

Are we talking the past or the present/ future ? .

Its obvious the biggest game in the premier league since day one has been liverpool v utd, anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded imo

I'm looking forward to Blackpool vs Wolves.

The History of the Tyne and Wear derby is regarded by many in the North East as the modern day extension of a rivalry between Newcastle and Sunderland that dates back to the English Civil War when protestations over advantages that merchants in Royalist Newcastle had over their Wearside counterparts led to Sunderland becoming a Parliamentarian stronghold.

Tyne and Wear again found themselves on opposite sides during the Jacobite Rebellions, with Newcastle in support of the Hanoverians with the German King George, and Sunderland siding with the Scottish Stewarts.

The industrial revolution and the close proximity of the two, saw them compete against each other in many industrial fields, such as shipbuilding and the coal trade.

I have said for a few years now that although matches between Arsenal and Tottenham have lost a little of the bile and venom which used to mark the occasion, that would soon return when both teams were back on a more even footing as regards League positions.

I expect many people at both clubs, and beyond, to be surprised by the absolute hatred which will retrun in the next couple of seasons as Spurs overhaul the cheating south London upstarts.
