complacency out.

Technically, that's about the most succint and accurate summation I've seen so far.
However for many of us, due to historical grievances and geographical reasons, some games ARE bigger that others. So while technically correct, the statement precludes one essential ingredient that makes football an all consuming obsession for most.... passion.
For me, NO games are bigger than against the blues and the mancs... not even the big European teams on the magical european nights at anfield.
