This will be the 170th time the two clubs have met.



The first meeting came in April 1897 in an end of season friendly match at Tottenham Marshes which Spurs won 2-1. Everton were founder-members of the Football League and had just finished 7th in the First Division while Spurs were in the Southern League and had finished 4th.



A further friendly was played at Goodison Park on New Year's Day 1902 which Everton won 3-1.



The clubs' first competitive match came in the old First Round (today's Third Round) of the FA Cup in February 1904 at Goodison Park which Spurs won 2-1 with a Vivian Woodward goal and an own goal from Everton's Balmer.



Both clubs embarked on a central European tour in the summer of 1905 an met twice with Everton winning both matches 2-0 in Vienna and 1-0 in Prague.



A second FA Cup meeting came in January 1908 with Spurs losing 1-0 at Everton.



At the end of that season, both Spurs and Everton set sail for a tour of South America and played two exhibition matches in Palermo, Argentina with the first game drawn 0-0 and Everton winning the second 4-0. On the voyage home, Spurs 'borrowed' the ship captain's parrot who lived happilly for a decade at the Tottenham offices in the High Road until it dropped dead the day news came through that Arsenal had stolen Spurs' First Division place in 1919.



The first Football League meetings came in the First Division in the 1909-10 season with Everton winning 4-2 at Goodison and Spurs winning 3-0 at the Lane.



The clubs then met regularly in the First Division up to season 1927-28 with eight wins for Spurs, ten wins for Everton and eight matches drawn.



The only League meetings between the two clubs outside the Top Flight of English Football came in season 1930-31 in the Second Division with Everton winning 4-2 at Goodison Park and Spurs winning 1-0 at White Hart Lane.



The clubs met for two more seasons in Division One before the outbreak of World War Two with a win apiece and two games drawn.



Spurs won a 3rd Round FA Cup tie 3-0 at home in 1934 and a 5th round tie at home in 1937 4-3 after a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.



The first meeting after WW2 came in the 5th Round at Goodison Park in February 1950 with Everton winning 1-0.



Spurs regained their First Division status in 1950-51 and did the 'double' over Everton on their way to the first Football League Championship won by Tottenham Hotspur with a 2-1 away win and a 3-0 home win. Everton lost their First Division place that same season along with Sheffield Wednesday, while Chelsea escaped the drop on goal average.



Everton were back in the First Division for the 1954-55 season and the clubs have met in the Top Flight for every subsequent season to date, except for 1977-78 when Spurs dropped down to the Second Division for one season.



Bill Nicholson's first game as Tottenham's manager came at White Hart Lane in October 1958 and Spurs were 6-1 up at half-time and went on to beat Everton 10-4.



A League game at White Hart Lane in December 1969 was abandoned due to floodlight failure after 29 minutes.



The two clubs met in February and March of 1986 in a competition called the Screen Sport Super Cup, which was introduced to give teams who would have qualified for the European competitions some compensation, as English clubs were banned from Europe. The first match at White Hart Lane ended goalless while Everton won the return leg 3-1.



The only Football League Cup meeting between the clubs came in the Fourth Round in October 2009 with Spurs winning 2-0 at the Lane with goals from Tom Huddlestone and Robbie Keane.



Both Tottenham Hotspur and Everton were founder-members of the Premier League and are two of the seven clubs who have been ever-present for the entire 21 seasons of the competition, along with Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.



Spurs have taken more points off Everton in the Premier League than from any other opponent. The 71 points won by Spurs against Everton in the 40 matches played to date gives an average of 1.775 points won per game.



The 2010-11 meetings in the Premier League only yielded one point for Spurs, which came in a 1-1 draw at the Lane in October 2010. The reverse fixture in January 2011 was won 1-2 by Everton. The Toffees' goals were scored by Leighton Baines at Spurs and Louis Saha & Seamus Coleman at Goodison Park. Rafael van der Vaart scored both Spurs' goals last season.



Spurs' home game last season was re-arranged from the opening day to January 2012 due to rioting in the Tottenham area. Spurs won the match 2-0 with goals from Aaron Lennon and a belter from Benoit Assou-Ekotto. During the January transfer window, Spurs signed Everton's French striker Louis Saha while Steven Pienaar moved in the opposite direction on loan until the end of the season. The match at Goodison Park in March 2012 was won 1-0 by Everton when Nikica Jelavic scored his first goal for the club in the 22nd minute.



During the Summer of 2012, Everton re-signed Steven Pienaar from Spurs on a permanent basis.



Overall, Spurs have won 61 of the 169 matches played so far with Everton winning 58 and 50 matches drawn.

An excellent top 5 list of annoying faces. I'd have Bale second and Nani 3rd with the other two numpties 4th and 5th though. I hate them more as people than their faces being particulally annoying.

It's an interesting debate.

You fellas are getting very worked up about someone that isn't playing in the match :rolleyes:

All the Arse, Spam & Chavs i know tell me Bale is the most over-rated player in the Prem! I suppose if enough people say it, then it must be true.

lol

Bale is a cracking player if you give him grass to run into, he's fairly limited when the opposition sits deep imo.

Still I'm glad that he's out, as he's in fine form at the minute.

Last year we mugged you lot in this fixture, as you battered us 2nd half & deserved something from the game.
