Is Sunderland v Newcastle Really A ‘Derby’ ?

There’s always been a little bit of discussion regarding what is and isn’t a derby.

For me, a derby is a game where two teams from the same city play each other. For example, Rangers vs Celtic (Glasgow), Everton vs Liverpool (Liverpool).

Then theres the likes of Sunderland vs Newcastle and Pompey vs Southampton. For me, they are not derbies. They are just rivalries.
