Old Firm, obviously. Then Porto Vs Benfica, i cant believe its not in there.
 
I found this amusing about the Spurs v Arsenal rivalry
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zAVzZi6f10"]YouTube - Arsenal vs Tottenham Fans On talkSPORT[/ame]

Or is it not as big a rivalry as people make out?
 
Man Utd v Chelsea's pretty intense, but as it's not there, I voted Barca Real :)
 
No doubt millwall vs west ham , ive been to the game once and trust me its Flipping scary!
 
Celtic v Rangers
Galatasary v Fenerbache
Benfica v Porto
PORTSMOUTH v SOUTHAMPTON
 
Rangers v Celtic.
The only derby where religion and politics plays its part.
 
I have to admit, I would hate to be involved with the Fenerbache v Galatasary match. Seen some the pictures on tv before, and it looks absolutely terrifying
 
Has to be Boca v. River. In no other country will you find so many people for two teams. Though statistics say that only 40% of the population is for Boca and 32% is for River, having lived there I'd say it's higher...more like 50% for Boca and 40% for River. Also, they have a lot more tradition than some of these other rivalries (been going on for about a century now), and a history of really quality players (used to be the best league in the world). The fans are absolutely nuts there, watch the waterfall when Boca scores. Sure there's more violence in Turkey or Serbia, but they don't have the history and tradition that the Argentine teams do, Not to mention you can be extremely passionate without being violent. I'd say the Argentine fans are more passionate, less violence is permitted there. When players score in a 'clasico,' often times they don't celebrate and fall to the ground crying instead. It's not like that in other countries.

Independiente v. Racing is pretty huge too, it's Argentina's second biggest derby. But not nearly as big as Boca River.
 
west ham v millwal last time they played they ended up on crimewatch lol
 
Old Firm
Fene - Gala
Benfica - Porto

True story


EDIT: Lazio - Roma deserves a mention, Lazio Ultras are cra-zey
 
Boca v River makes the old firm look like child's play.
 
Gonna play the Devils Advocate here, and say, is it just me that thinks the Barca-Real games are pretty tame ? (A)
 
i hate how a game needs to involve violence to be considered passionate.
