might need to explain to your euro mate then that ours was the original aleague derby with a broken leg after a tackle and a brawl in the tunnel afterwards - in the first ever aleague game. the blood pressure has been high ever since, we beat them to a grandfinal with a 3nil win then they beat us in that grand final. then we've won everything else since. our captain stirs them up constantly, the club has even spent time putting up flyers around Newcastle before a game comparing our many trophies to their many wooden spoons.
wsw and syd are rivals only because of location, they have no real history yet. only MV v AU has near as much rivalry, and not really the derby aspect.
the f3 derby is and always has been THE derby!
see even recent article that describe it
The game itself, no doubt... unfortunately he was talking capacity crowds and large away contingents mate
