Yep, that's one where you get your popcorn out. Not for what's actually happening on the pitch though. Unless, of course, the supporters decide to start running onto it.

They want to fight each other so badly that they'll show up at the other club's Cup matches when they aren't even involved. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...-Millwall.html

You think the Liverpool - Man Utd chants are mean, they ain't got **** on those guys... Green Street Elite basically was centered around that rivalry.

If we're going with potential cup ties, who doesn't want to see MK Dons vs AFC Wimbledon, or Wolves/Albion.

One of the best rivalry in all of England, IMO.

I miss the Villa-Birmingham games so much. I loved making fun of the Blues...until we hired their ****ing manager.

God damn it, Lerner, sell the damn team.

Another massive rivalry is the East Lancashire derby between Burnley and Blackburn Rovers.

This might be a stupid question but I have never been to the other side of the "pond" so I am not sure what it's like. But how close is the move Green Street Hooligans to how it actually is at games? Are fans really that mean to each other?

It's really calmed down since Heysel and Hillsborough. The chanting is similar, but the fighting has really been clamped down on. The only place I'd be scared as a Gooner to go to would be Italy and Donestsk because the Ultras there are a little off and I really don't think the cops their are as proactive to handle stuff like that. Plus the Racism in Italy and parts of Eastern Europe and parts of the Balkans is way out of control. Besides that, the Home Office even spies on known Hooligans and breaks up potential fights at pubs, neighborhoods and other off site locations if you are in the UK.

Also if you wear a kit or a scarf or any club gear to the game, your are pretty much off limits to "true hooligans".
