please dont say this. i know this one means the most to us but pick one of these

Newcastle/Sunderland is the most heated rivalry in English footie. Closely followed by Saints/Pompey.

Hate is a strong word, but with those games.....

It's certainly north of the arctic circle.

To be honest, it's difficult to compare them all. I'd say that NUFC/SFC and Saints/Pompey have more edge to them as they are true local derbies - most of the fans actually are local, and beejeezus, do they hate each other! They are never going to win the league - local bragging rights are more important.

The North London, Manc and Mersey derbies are all big games, but their clubs' fans are as/more interested in Europe than the domestic scene, and in ManYoo's case, half the fans come from Devon.

Class!

Bradford v Huddersfield - went to that game once. Atmosphere was a bit tasty, to say the least.

[Durnerz]

Merseyside Derby for me.

[Cobbo]

Liverpool vs manure is probably the biggest to be fair, eventhough it's not entirely local.

[Boston Fan]

Well that has always been one of the biggest rival games. Tops Man Utd v Arsenal?

I think so

I do love a good Brum v Villa game, I always support Birmingham in these matches, because Villa re one of my most hated teams!

Villa = Just a small slum in Birmingham!
