The North London derby is the name of the association football local derby between two north London based teams – Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. Both Arsenal and Tottenham fans have recognised each other as one of their biggest rivals and the derby is one of the fiercest in English football.

Arsenal play their home games at the Emirates Stadium, while Tottenham Hotspur play their home games at White Hart Lane. However, the latter will play its UEFA Champions League home games at Wembley Stadium for the 2016/17 campaign.

History

The first meeting between the two teams was a friendly on 19 November 1887, when Arsenal were located in Plumstead (then part of Kent but now in Greater London), and known as Royal Arsenal. The match was abandoned 15 minutes before it was due to end "owing to darkness" with Spurs leading 2–1.[1] The first League match between the clubs was in the First Division, on 4 December 1909; Arsenal won 1–0.[2]

However, a proper rivalry between the two teams did not begin until 1913, when Arsenal moved from the Manor Ground, Plumstead to Arsenal Stadium, Highbury, just four miles from Tottenham's White Hart Lane; by doing so, they became Tottenham's nearest neighbours and thus began a natural local rivalry. The two teams first faced each other as "north London" in a War Relief Fund friendly on 22 August 1914 at White Hart Lane. Although Arsenal were in the Second Division and Tottenham in the First, Arsenal won 5–1.[3] They would go on to meet regularly during World War I in the London Combination, the regional wartime competition of the time.

The rivalry escalated in 1919 when, after World War I, the First Division was to be expanded by two teams, and the League held a meeting of the clubs to decide the two clubs by means of a vote. 19th-placed Chelsea, who would otherwise have been relegated, were allowed to stay and thus they took the first of the two spots. The second spot could have been awarded to 20th-placed Tottenham, or Barnsley, who had finished third in the Second Division, but Arsenal (along with four other clubs) also bid for the place, despite their only finishing sixth in Division Two, although an error in the calculation of goal average meant Arsenal had actually finished fifth, an error which was corrected by the Football League in 1980.[4]

After an endorsement by League president and chairman of Liverpool John McKenna on account of their longer membership of the League, Arsenal won the vote by eighteen votes to Spurs' eight (Barnsley got five, Wolves four, Nottingham Forest three, Birmingham two and Hull City one) and were thus elected to the First Division.[5] It has been frequently alleged that Arsenal chairman Sir Henry Norris used underhand dealings in order to bring this about, although nothing has been proven.[6] The decision infuriated Tottenham and their supporters, although eleven years previously, Tottenham themselves had been elected to join the Football League Second Division despite only finishing 7th in the 1907–08 Southern League,[7] at the expense of Southern League champions Queen's Park Rangers, who had also applied and had resigned from the Southern League in expectation of promotion.[8][9]

Despite the setback, Tottenham were soon promoted back into the top flight after taking the 1919–20 Second Division title,[10] and the derby was once again regularly contested. The first fully competitive derby match after Arsenal's 1913 move to north London was a First Division match that finished 2–1 to Tottenham, on 15 January 1921 at White Hart Lane. The early matches between the two were noted for their bitterness - a particularly vicious match in September 1922 led to both clubs being censured by the Football Association and threatened with being forced to play behind closed doors.[5][11]

Tottenham played in the Second Division between 1928 and 1933, and 1935 and 1950,[10] which naturally led to a drop in the number of matches between the two clubs in this period and a cooling of passions. Relations between the two clubs improved somewhat after the Second World War, after Tottenham allowed Arsenal to play their home matches at White Hart Lane while Highbury was requisitioned as an ARP station and subsequently bombed. The two sides met in the FA Cup for the first time in the 1948–49 season, when Arsenal won a third round tie 3–0.

Since 1950, there has only been one season being that of (1977–78)[10] where Spurs and Arsenal have not been in the same division, meaning fixtures between the two are regular. With being so, this has maintained the rivalry to the present day; there have been many notable matches. Several of these comprise those where the course of a title or the journey to a cup final has relied upon the outcome of a derby match. As with any major football rivalry, gloating and banter between the two sets of fans, many of whom work and even live together, is commonplace. Players who transfer between the two teams receive a bad reception from their former fans; an example was defender Sol Campbell,[12] who was nicknamed "Judas" by Spurs fans after he crossed the divide in 2001.

Arsenal fans have a celebration day related to the north London rivalry. Arsenal fans celebrate St. Totteringham's day, which is the day in the season when Tottenham cannot mathematically finish above Arsenal on the league table.[13][14][15][16][17] Spurs fans had long before declared 14 April to be St. Hotspur day in honour of Spurs' 3–1 win over Arsenal in the 1991 FA Cup semi final. St. Hotspur Day was also celebrated on 14 April 2010, when Spurs beat Arsenal 2–1.[18]

Kick-off for the second half at the north London derby, 20 November 2010. Arsenal were 2–0 up at this point, but were beaten 3–2.

On 20 November 2010, Tottenham registered their first win at Arsenal in 17 years when they came from 2–0 down at half-time to win 3–2. The win also broke a 68-game run of winless results away from home against the "big four" clubs. Tottenham later defeated Arsenal 2–1 in 2011, with Arsenal's only goal being provided by Aaron Ramsey, while Tottenham scored with Rafael van der Vaart and right back Kyle Walker.[19] In the second meeting of the season on 26 February 2012, Louis Saha and former Arsenal player Emmanuel Adebayor brought Spurs 2–0 up in the first 40 minutes of the game, but goals coming from Bacary Sagna, Robin van Persie, Tomáš Rosický and a brace from Theo Walcott helped Arsenal surge to a 5–2 win.[20]

On 17 November 2012, Arsenal managed another 5–2 victory over Tottenham, their second in 2012. Tottenham had taken a tenth-minute lead courtesy of former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor, however in the 18th minute, he received a straight red card for a poor tackle on Santi Cazorla. Arsenal, with the one-man advantage, managed to equalize in the 24th minute when Per Mertesacker headed his first goal for the club and Arsenal raced into a 3–1 half-time lead with goals from Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud. Cazorla put the Gunners further ahead after 60 minutes, finishing a first time effort from Podolski's cross to make it 4–1. After 71 minutes, Gareth Bale scored to make it 4–2 and give Tottenham a glimmer of hope before Theo Walcott killed it off with a fifth goal in added time, ending the contest at 5–2.[21]

On 1 September 2013, Arsenal beat Tottenham 1–0 in match given extra edge by Spurs' big spending in the transfer period, compared to Arsenal's lack of activity. Arsenal took the lead in the 23rd minute through Olivier Giroud with the assist from Theo Walcott via a low cross from the right flank. Arsenal managed to hold on to their one-goal advantage in the second half to claim the three points and move ahead of Tottenham in the Premier League.[22] The next day, transfer deadline day, Arsenal signed Mesut Özil from Real Madrid. Arsenal went on to beat Tottenham twice more in the 2013–14 season by 2–0 and 1–0 margins. The 2–0 victory was in the FA Cup, with Santi Cazorla and and Tomáš Rosický netting the winners in the tie of the FA Cup which was eventually won by Arsenal.[23] The 1–0 victory saw Arsenal beat Tottenham at White Hart Lane for the first time in nearly seven years. Once again with Tomáš Rosický scoring a superb strike from the right corner of the area in only the second minute, was enough for Arsenal to win a tight game in which Tottenham largely dominated after Rosicky's goal.[24]

Fans

Tottenham Hotspur playing Arsenal in the 2009–10 Premier League at White Hart Lane. The home fans are singing to Sol Campbell. He had been targeted by Tottenham fans since he had moved from Spurs to their north London rivals in 2001.

Both Spurs' and Arsenal's fan bases are multi-ethnic, due to the racial diversity in London. According to a report in 2002, Arsenal had 7.7% of their fans calling themselves non-white British, the highest in the league at the time.[25] Both clubs also have extensive fan bases throughout the UK and the rest of the world. Arsenal fans call themselves "Gooners" - a reworking of the club's "Gunners" nickname (itself a reference to Arsenal's origins as a munitions factory team). Spurs fans call themselves "yids" - a reference to the fact that, because of the large Jewish community in the vicinity of their ground, hooligans of many other clubs back in the 1970s and 1980s directed antisemitic chants at Spurs fans. In an attempt to draw the sting from these chants, Spurs fans (whether Jewish or not) adopted the words "yid" and "yiddo" for themselves and thereby turned a pejorative into a term of pride and belonging. With the passing of time and as a consequence of the ever-mutating nature of the English language, the words "yid" and "yiddo" now only ever mean "Spurs fan" (or player) when used in the context of English football – even by fans of other teams. There is, however, still some controversy over the use of "yid" or "yiddo".[26]

Cup semi-finals and title deciders

Although Arsenal and Tottenham have never met in a major cup final, there have been North London derby matches that have significantly contributed to one of the two clubs winning a trophy, such as semi-finals and title deciders. These include:

Statistics and records

As of 1 October 2009, there have been 163 competitive first-class meetings between the two teams since the first league meeting in 1909, of which Arsenal have won 67 and Tottenham 50.[28] The most goals in one game were scored in the closely contested 5–4 Arsenal Premiership victory at White Hart Lane on 13 November 2004. The biggest winning margin was a 8–0 away win by Arsenal on 6 March 1935. Tottenham have twice won 5–0 (25 December 1911 and 4 April 1983) and Arsenal once (23 December 1978), all three fixtures taking place at White Hart Lane.[2]

Tottenham's record for goals scored against Arsenal is shared by Billy Minter and Bobby Smith, with nine goals each.[29] Arsenal's record is held jointly by Emmanuel Adebayor, Alan Sunderland and Robert Pirès, with eight goals each.[30] Adebayor also holds the record for most goals by a player in the North London derby with ten: eight scored for Arsenal and two for Tottenham. Arsenal's long-time defender David O'Leary holds the record for most North London derbies played with 35, while Gary Mabbutt and Steve Perryman shared the corresponding record for Spurs, with 31.[30]

Terry Dyson is the only Spurs player to score a hat-trick in a first-class derby game, having done so on 26 August 1961 in a 4–3 win for Spurs.[31] The Arsenal players to have done so are Ted Drake (20 October 1934) and Alan Sunderland (23 December 1978).[32]

In its present format, Arsenal have, as of 2016–17, qualified to play in the UEFA Champions League on 19 occasions and Tottenham twice, although Spurs did achieve a fourth-place finish in the 2011–12 Premier League season but were denied a place in the Champions League due to Chelsea winning the Champions League. Arsenal were runners-up in the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League competition.[37] Prior to this, Arsenal qualified for the former European Cup on three occasions, while Tottenham did so once. Arsenal were unable to compete in the 1989–90 competition owing to a ban on English clubs following the Heysel Stadium Disaster.[38] Both clubs have reached the semi-final stage of the competition.

# While the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup is recognised as the predecessor to the UEFA Cup, it was not organised by UEFA. Consequently, UEFA do not consider clubs' records in the Fairs Cup to be part of their European record.[39]
