They absolutely hate each other
Everyone thinks their club’s derby is the best. Ask any Manchester United fan, they will tell you their rivalry with Liverpool is the most intense in the land. The same applies to fans of Birmingham City and Aston Villa. For me, the north London derby should take that crown. It is arguably the most hate-filled derby of them all and never disappoints as a spectacle.
The intensity is only fuelled by past narratives such as Sol Campbell leaving Spurs for Arsenal on a free, Harry Kane being let go by Arsenal as a kid and playing with a chip on his shoulder, and Arsenal’s move from Woolwich to north of the river 106 years ago.
To mark the first north London derby of the season, I’ve prepared a quiz that tests how well you know the history of the derby.
Good luck.
