Big games that aren't big anymore

[deipnosophist]

Swansea v Cardiff was a big Welsh match up...as was Taffy with Dolly.

Old Carthusians hope to maintain last year's form when they start their league campaign this weekend in the Arthurian League Premier Division. They will be playing on 'Big Pitch'.

 

[summerisle]

Solid start to the season for the Old Carthusians. Third in the Arthurian Premiere League.

Anyone Liverpool play despite what the media make out.

Back in the Channel 5 Football Italia days Juventus V AC Milan was THE big game in European football....its nothing now.

I think Real Madrid V Barcelona has jumped the shark as well. Everyone knows they are both massive tax dodgers in a two team league.

Almost feel like this should be flipped and ask 'big games that meant nothing that ACTUALLY mean something these days?'. Would be shorter methinks.

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.

Mullery and Venables are not and never have been mates. It is still the game for both sets of supporters.

Royal engineers top boy here. Does your team have a firm? Shall I send a second to arrange a bout of fisticuffs?

Leeds v anyone that used to be considered a big match as they aren't a big club anymore but are a comedy club.

St. Moritz, 1.1.2016, after cocktails and nibbles.

Any game involving Chelsea

Old Carthusians second in the Arthurian premiere league, five points ahead of Old Etonians.

 

[blueloon]

Aberdeen v Dundee Utd. The so called "New Firm Derby". Dun Utd now bottom of the SPL and possibly heading for relegation.

 

[bignev23]

The League Cup Final.

 

[Furey1878]

Any permeation of The Wanderers, Oxford University and The Royal Engineers.
