My pilgrimage to Portsmouth and the best derby in English football Bitter feuds, bubble matches, fights and a comparative lack of success - Daniel Storey delves into what makes Pompey's famous rivalry with Southampton so great

I think Portsmouth vs Southampton might be the best derby in English football.

In 10 reasons, with the help of Sunday's game, I tried to explain why.

First look at Alli and Adams and both been impressive so far. Swanson shaky at left back but will take that first half

Really enjoyed Oh San Lorenzo by Will Dalton. Seemed to capture the heart of Argentinian football in a visceral and fascinating way.
It’s also given me the itch to visit Buenos Aires…unfortunately I can’t even afford to get to Bognor

Few thoughts on Pompey v Ipswich tomorrow and why it may be more interesting off the pitch than on it

A gut-punching equaliser to winner in a matter of seconds. The definition of limbs played out on the Fratton End stairs

One of those special moments at Fratton Park tonight. The reason you go week in week out

An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the Salt Lake Tribune has a full-time jazz reporter. It in fact has two reporters who cover Utah Jazz, the local basketball team. This has now been corrected.

My all-time favorite newspaper correction:

This is a tough watch. Two players on their own on the edge of the box. So poor

Solid pompey first half but frustrating. Opportunities there but a lack of quality and chemistry from the front four

Oh well, I’m sure Pompey will lift my spirits…

It’s the hope that gets you. Really didn’t see this coming ahead of the ashes but all the bullish Aussie predictions are coming true. A whitewash on the cards

The grim truth: Why Pompey's Premier League fantasy is heading for League One reality Pompey are back in the Championship relegation zone for the first time since January as concerns deepen

The grim truth. Forget the Premier League fantasy for #Pompey - this is the League One reality. An in-depth look at where it's all going wrong. Obviously it's a long, long read.

Woeful start to the game cost us. Would have liked to have seen Swift (as well as Chaplin and Yang) get on a bit sooner

So much space for Bristol City to do what they want. No intensity from us at all

Swanson losing his man at the corner and silly from Devlin. Frustrating as Sheffield Utd have been poor (as poor as us anyway)

Disappointing result and will be inevitable anti Bazball narrative but don't think any major changes needed, especially in mindset. Aussies came out with same approach second innings but were just better at it. More composure needed from batters

Very confusing, clearly past the bat when the noise happened. Whether he walked or not can't see how you give that out

Frustrating result but was on the cards. Looked shaky defensively and too late in having any attacking urgency.
Chaplin still struggling to impact games, not sure why Yang has played so few minutes in past two games

A bad look for Edwards forcing a move so soon into the Boro job. If he doesn't hit the ground running may be out of a job before season ends

A real lack of quality and composure from Pompey that half, both with and without the ball.
Always a chance with Murphy on the pitch though, what a ball!
