As footballing rivalries in England go, there's few fiercer than the South Coast clash between Southampton and Portsmouth who for a few seasons, don't look like they'll be meeting in the league.

Pompey are currently fighting to earn promotion from League Two whilst the Saints are now an established Premier League side, with the two teems seemingly swapping places in the footballing ladder over the past few years.

But that hasn't stopped the hatred between the two teams going forward and when the sides do meet again in the South Coast derby, there's going to be some serious bragging rights up for grabs.

There's little doubt that in time, Pompey will be back amongst the higher divisions but until an FA or League Cup opportunity comes around, the two are unlikely to meet for a few years now.

When it comes to current history, Pompey have been champions of England on two occasions and have won the FA Cup twice, whilst the Saints have one FA Cup win and one FA Trophy to their name.

Naturally, some Saints fans might say that they are the bigger club on league standings but on history, Pompey edge it.

But what do you think? Take your vote in the poll below- whose the bigger side, Southampton or Portsmouth?
