Fanwise I mean?
West Ham v Millwall
Arsenal v Spurs
Newcastle v Sunderland
Liverpool v Everton
Villa v B'ham
I actually read somewhere it is supposed to be Wolves V West Brom, but as Wolverhampton is it's own City I don't see how it is really a Derby.
I would plump for West Ham v Millwall myself.
Apparently all to do with Scotland sending down dockers in the early 1900's who nicked the jobs of the west ham guys.
The Scots then affiliated with Millwall and that's why Millwall wear Blue

people always make up stories about dock strikes etc to try to give some political/economic significance to what is simply tribalism
The rivalry of Derby matches is fiercer because in the early days of pro football 99.5% of fans were home fans in most games .Derbies would be the only games with any away fans (who would simply walk to the ground in their thousands) so it was a very different atmosphere.

"Wolverhampton is it's own City|"
Can you translate this into English please.

I went to a sunday football match in the 70s when the rose and crown played the three tuns; there was about 300 people there; that was right up there with the professional games for a local derby
Wolves-West Brom is indeed nasty.
All depends on era this question though, as nowadays is probably very sterile compared to the likes of the 80s.

Brentford v Watford which was an opportunity for Chelsea and Spurs to have a pop at each other without so many old Bill 
Bristol
Rovers v City
Oooh, it don't half get rude....
Seriously, it's terrifying.

Kidderminster harriers vs Worcester it's bloodbath usually

Since when were Newcastle and Sunderland in the same city?

Actually in Wales, but in English leagues....
ever been to a Swansea v Cardiff match?

If Arsenal and Spurs were equally good or bad, this question wouldn't need asking.
The Wolves - WBA thing is indeed nasty, but Bristol City v Bristol Rovers would be another choice for complete hatred, shame they don't play much these days.
Not exactly local, but Millwall v Leeds, Millwall v Birmingham are both evil matches, been to a couple of both, got out of hand. Any game involving Millwall really can become a throwback, great place to go.

Can't believe some 'neutrals' actually
enjoy the aggravation some matches produce.

Leeds v The Scum always takes some beating although not a Derby really
There's always been more to football than 22 blokes kicking a ball about supernap, and there always will be. The day there isn't, the game is dead.
It may be what you enjoy but
I prefer to watch football,
the stuff that Barca, Real,
etc play.

Nowadays English football is mainly watched by 50+ year olds, sitting comfortably in silence on their fat arses.
DIE, do you prefer 20+ kicking
lumps out of each other?

No, just saying you are more likely to see a disabled bloke with grey hair punching a horse than strapping young lads fisting each other.
Are the two mutually exclusive then supernap? I like to watch Arsenal play football, but punching their fans is enjoyable as well.....
Each to their own, you should stick
to Rugby Union...

That is in interesting point, Ken. I had always detested Rugby due to a particularly nasty sports teacher (Mr de Sade) and being trapped under a scrum, but having watched the RWC the game certainly has its merits .
Burnley v Blackburn.....pure hatred this one.
Never watched a game of Rugby in my life supernap. A rancid sport, invented solely to give fat gay men something to do at the weekend.
any match involving millwall
fly me its a scary place
fly me its a scary place
Pompey v Southampton must get a mention, no love lost there

I went to see a Stoke game at cold blow lane not knowing you had to have a ticket to go in the away end, ended up watchin from the hill behind the ground. Stoke go 3-1 up, and some local scruff asks me the score, gulp, and I have to impersonate a cocker nee accent which was not dissimilar to dick van ****..

I can recall 2 brothers fighting each other on the Tote end in the early eighties
The Bow & Arrow v The Bluebell was a toughen - no prisoners taken.

Millwall v Hull Lions v Tigers surely ?
That's not a local derby.
Everyone knows tigers live in Asia and lions in Africa. 
My old man moved to Ipswich (area) and quite often I've been out for a pint (or 3) with him. I have to admit, the rivalry is fiercer than I first imagined when you hang around with this lot.
In saying that; some of the worst rivalry I've read/seen is West Ham/Millwall. That can get intense!

Defo Arsenal v Chelsea nowadays I'd say. Arsene and Jose are like a couple of boxers trash talking each other.

Wenger and FA running the disciplinary procedures for the PL now.

Millwall carpet wearing airdressers imo COYS
very good Darlo
i'm going for a 3 way
Millwall v Wet Ham
Villa v Brum
Pompey v Soton
all made intense by the fact that one has been much more successful than the other and the games arent played every season -maybe once every 7-10 years on average

Brighton vs palace is quite toxic too, but don't really get it, they,re not even in the same county. Must be 50 odd miles between them. Oh well everyone's got to have someone to hate
