singe Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 As we are picking up in the number of derbies we play with our near neighbours, should we have an official name? I've seen Th'Flat Cap and A627M but neither seem punchy. Whippet doesn't seem right, but like the nod to self deprecating humour. The black cab derby might be appropriate for their trip but not ours. Th'Classic maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) This fad of nicknaming derbies in relation to the Old Firm or El Clasico isn't half irritating. These games have their own histories. What has Barcelona-Real Madrid got to do with them. Bollocks to calling Burnley-Blackburn T'Clasico, Norwich-Ipswich the 'Old Farm' or any other derby for that matter (not that I consider Latics-Dale worthy of its own nickname, if not self-depreciating) anything with any hint of Spanish quip...

rudemedic Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Something about THAT kiss on Brookside. Elflatcapclassico has been used a bit on Twitter. Something about the co-op v the chippy or the tubular bandage The G / Purple Derby connected to the nomenclature / designation of the metro line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
