Top for me are
Sheffield
Villa v Blues
for intercity derbies. Liverpool and Manchester for me are relatively friendly, North London a bit contrived.
Newcastle v Sunderland for non same city derbies. Pompey v Saints probably the runner up of those.

Bristol derby can get a bit tasty at times.0

Charlton v Palace.
All others are interesting, but unimportant.2 -
Lots of games can get potentially tasty, but for me Rovers have always been a much smaller club to make it viable. Rejectediaitch said:Bristol derby can get a bit tasty at times.0 -
Guildford v C Palace13

Surprised you think N London is a bit contrived. I live up here and it feels pretty genuine.0

Millwall v West Ham. Think the rest fight for 2nd place. Literally2

West Ham v Millwall
Pretty much everyone in London apart form us and Palace against Chelsea0 -

Imo Liverpool v Man United is the biggest, and best club game in world football. The hatred between the 2 cities goes back hundreds of years and has become embodied in the game between English footballs 2 most successful entities (Ryan Giggs is 3rd BTW).
It's unique it that respect. Most of the other big "derbies" are one city affairs split on race, class or religion. El classico is more of an "International" fixture.0 -
Derby and forest is also worth a mention.0

I think it’s a little bit fake and posturing to be honest. An element of playing up to it. No doubt these were the main London offs in the 70s and 80s, but I’ve never been convinced there’s real hatred there. In fact I think there’s probably a little bit of respect. Fact they don’t play each other regularly probably makes it feel more an event.ChicagoAddick said:Millwall v West Ham. Think the rest fight for 2nd place. Literally

40 years ago maybe, but as a game I think it’s been diluted as a rivalry by the spread of support through the country (and indeed the world) those two attract. Very few at those games actual,y live in Manchester or Liverpool. Rejected.Cafc43v3r said:Imo Liverpool v Man United is the biggest, and best club game in world football.

Millwall v West Ham
Birmingham v Villa
Pompey v Saints
Sheffield - although was poor the other night
Bristol
Tyne and Wear
Personally think there is more hatred in Liverpool and Leeds vs Man Utd than there is for Man City v Man U.
Watford v Luton
Chester v Wrexham
I generally think consistent premiership ones have become very watered down.2 -
Stoke v port vale4
-
How come, no one has mentioned the M23 derby?5
-
Even size clubs with solid history, and a step up from the East Anglia nonsense, but one of their badge is a sheep and the other is a tree. More Countryfile with John Craven than football. Rejected.palarsehater said:Derby and forest is also worth a mention.13 -
Bromley played Ebbsfleet recently as there was bit of a kerfuffle back at Bromley South station.0

Only ever play when Stoke are going through a very bad patch, providing a minor distraction to pot making. Rejectedclb74 said:Stoke v port vale

Burnley v Blackburn should get a mention.0

Don't think these Sunday morning runs are doing you any good, mood wise.AFKABartram said:

Chesterfield v Mansfield. The miners' strike derby.0

The best derbies are when clubs don’t meet each other regularly and aren’t guaranteed to be in the same division as each other.
Newcastle v Sunderland is my favourite though.1 -
When we lived in Singapore this was the biggest game out there bar none.AFKABartram said:

Been to a few -
Palace v Charlton
Arsenal v Spurs
Millwall v West Ham
Worst in my experience, and not often thought about, has to be Chelsea v Spurs

It may not garner the same level of interest around the country as the Lancashire/Yorkshire rivalry but there's plenty of competition between the North Folk and South Folk of the Kingdom of East Anglia.0 -
Most are related Briston. A rowdy wedding in sports wear. Rejected.Briston_Addick said:

Struggling to reject this one. Similar size towns and clubs with rich histories. History includes an abandoned game and repeated crowd trouble.paulbaconsarnie said:Burnley v Blackburn should get a mention.
However, they sing ‘no nay never no more’ to each other, which is some weird ye olde English ditty to sing whilst slurping mead down the inn, and fairly sure both teams run out to the Hovis music. Can’t take them seriously, the nearest to a rivalry is which lot will enter the 20th century first.
