Southampton vs Portsmouth — the South Coast Derby.

This week we preview the game in full, looking at both teams’ form, key players, where the match could be won and lost, possible line-ups and our score predictions.

We also discuss our top 3 derby days!

Expect nerves, rivalry, disagreement and plenty of derby-day tension.

This week we're tackling the impossible: the greatest Southampton and Portsmouth teams of all time.

Sean picks his Saints Best XI, Chris picks his Pompey Best XI… then we have to somehow agree on ONE combined team.

And that's where things get heated. 🔥

Le Tissier or Merson?
Van Dijk or Distin?
Beattie or Yakubu?

Some huge names have to miss out — and neither of us is particularly happy about it.

Saints lose at Wrexham, Pompey are held by Blackburn… but amazingly, Bishop scores!

This week we review both results, debate whether the international break is actually good for clubs when players go away with their countries, and update the predictor league.

The decision on Tonda Eckert is decided this week, Sean gives his opinion.

We also start looking ahead to the big one — the South Coast Derby after the international break, and reveal some of what we’ve got planned for derby week.

Saints make it TWO wins in a week, Pompey are held by Charlton and there’s plenty to discuss.

We review Southampton vs Swansea, Southampton vs Bristol City and Portsmouth vs Charlton before previewing Saints vs Wrexham and Pompey vs Blackburn.

Plus: the latest on Tonda Eckert’s potential ban, the ridiculous cost of the bubble match… and Sean has a secret mission to sneak as many Beatles song titles into the episode as possible without Chris noticing🎸

⚽️ OPENING WEEKEND PAIN, A QPR FAN ARRIVES… & SEAN WAS BADLY WRONG AGAIN!

Episode 12 of South Coast Social is here!

Not quite the start either side of the South Coast was hoping for…

🔴 We review Watford 2–1 Southampton — what went wrong for Saints, what needs to change and how worried should supporters actually be?

🔵 We break down Portsmouth 1–3 QPR — and this time we've brought in reinforcements! Stanley, a QPR fan, joins us to give the opposition view on what he saw at Fratton Park.

And, unfortunately for Sean, there's yet more evidence that he might have got something completely wrong… again. Chris is naturally very understanding about it.

Then we look ahead to the next Championship fixtures:

⚽ Southampton vs Stoke City
Can Saints respond at St Mary's? Is anything less than three points already a disappointing result?

⚽ Lincoln City vs Portsmouth
After the QPR defeat, how important is a response from Pompey and should there be concerns about the squad?

Plus plenty of disagreement, predictions, questionable opinions and Something We Can Agree On 🤝
