It would also diminish the status of the Scottish Premier League, which is low enough already. They tried it once with the Atlantic League and that was vetoed. Scotland is their home, that's where they belong.

Most of their fans seem to think its Ireland! ;-)Originally Posted by Jeff Mansfield
On it bringing a big game to the premier league Id agree.
Manchester United v Manchester City this past season was atrocious.
No glamour. Rubbish atmosphere. Turgid football by mourinho.
A few years people were hoping that derby would rival the biggest in the world.
The two big derbies for me in Europe are celtic rangers and barca madrid.
Apart from that I have basically no interest in most derbies outside of the UK.
The Milans aren't what they were. Lazio Roma is empty. Munich Dortmund? Not arsed. Athletico Real?. I'd watch it Bale was playing but wouldnt go out of my way to watch it.
I take it you didnt watch the Celtic v Rangers derbies last season then?
Ye they were good.
Not the best football wise but still more interesting than most around Europe.
I think I'd rank them:
1. Barca Madrid
2. Arsenal Spurs
3. Celtic Rangers
4. The rest
My interest in actually watching them.
Each to their own I dont really call watching one team who are far better than the other, and beating them easily, enjoyable or good to watch as a neutral.
You are forgetting that THE big derby of next season will be Brighton vs Bournemouth.
