Sly Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 I was having a debate today with a few lads. We all had a different opinion on who our biggest rivals are “now”. What’s your opinion?
urban.spaceman Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Atletico Madrid. We still haven’t had a fair game against them.
StanSP Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Forest. Even then it's barely a rivalry though. The 'rivalry' with Spurs is a bit misguided. It's more towards the 'banter' (hate that word). Wouldn't call it a rivalry at all with Spurs actually. They don't hate us like they hate Arsenal (a proper rivalry). Majority of Spurs fans I know can look back on 15/16 season and be happy for us and realise they were never really in the title race for the last couple of months of that season. Annoys me seeing so many fans get worked up when Spurs do anything good or bad.
brucey Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 I think the term rival implies being a competitor at roughly the same level, rather than a traditional dislike based on geography. So Wolves.
Nickfosse Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Don’t think we have a genuine rivalry, but some seem desperate to create one.
Mark_w Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 'Other posters can see who you voted for', I'll go Forest instead of Spuds then.
TheSomersetFox Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Ive lived in Derbyshire my entire life and have a load of family who are rams, and honestly I’ve always had more respect for them than the glory supporting United bellends from round here. I love beating Derby but I’ve got no real ‘hate’ for them. It’s Forest by a mile for me. Since we got promoted I’ve hated Villa, Arsenal, Spurs at different times. Soon fades though.

Finnegan Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Forest by default I guess but we don't have any rivals.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 I wouldn’t call spurs a rival but our games do have that extra edge ever since our title winning season. We don’t actually have a proper rival though
Out Foxed Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 I honestly can’t realistically say forest anymore. Not trying to wind them up but I don’t consider any of those teams rivals now. Derbies that we play but not rivals.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 we havent had a proper derby in yonks, I always considered cov our biggest rivals when i begun supporting city because of my location plus we both were pretty much always fighting for survival. Since they went tits up, it'd be Forest but now they're nowhere to be seen. I'd still probably say Forest though, think out of all them that's the one I'd get excited most for
sylofox Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Peterborough and Burton oh and Wycombe Wanderers. Oh if we have pre season games with Yarmouth Town or Gorleston then both of them.
coolhandfox Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Man U, Arsenal.
Voll Blau Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Forest and Derby, though I'm glad neither consider us important enough to be involved tin their pathetic love-in. Weirdest derby in the country. Quite cute really how they both pretend not to care too. Their actions whenever we turn up in either city suggest different...
Nalis Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Saying Forest and Derby are our 'rivals' is like saying QPR and Brentford are Chelsea's rivals.
Fightforever Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Probably tottenham now. we chat enough shit about each other. As for forest it cant be called a rivalry if they literaly can't rival us anymore. If you didnt notice they're a league below us hah.
HighPeakFox Posted 15 May 2019 Posted 15 May 2019 Honestly, I don't care - I love LCFC much more than I can hate anyone else - life is too short.
