Now I know East Anglia is somewhat behind the times but on Norwich's website is a poll asking if you enjoyed the 2012 Olympics

Leeds vs Anyone

Ouch

Back when they were legit the third best team in the country, Hearts Vs either of The Old Firm was usually the second biggest game for both Celtic and Rangers

These days I doubt Celtic sweat Hearts much anymore. Rangers still consider it a big fixture though I imagine

Why? they are over an hour away from each other. Its like the modern rivalry between Chelsea & Liverpool, two teams who couldn't be more different just dislike each other for the sake of it? bad blood following some tasty games.

Palace - Brighton

Got a mate living down in Brighton whos not that bothered about footy but was a Palace fan when he was a kid and he reckons the Albion fans still hate Palace.

Always a funny one that anyway, the original story about why they hate each other doesn't really make any sense... harks back to the days when Venables and Mullery were the managers (and mates) and were both winding each other up via the media in the run up to an FA Cup tie.

Wolves vs West Brom. A cracking hate fuelled derby, never gets the recognition yet way better than most.
