8. Newcastle United vs Sunderland
Some say the Tyne-Wear rivalry is really about the English Civil War, when Newcastle remained loyal to the crown and Sunderland sided with parliament. However, the two sets of fans have fallen foul to less regal clashes in recent years as a Newcastle fan was filmed punching a horse last season. The fire still burns in this one as just a few short years ago Magpies defender Steven Taylor received death threats for daring to suggest that a Sunderland player wouldn’t get in the Newcastle team.
