Whats the big deal with being a North London club anyrate? Like I would guess that 95% of match going fans dont live in North London at all, but come in from the suburbs and that.

On that basis then you would be happy to move out of Merseyside? Same principle.

Well I did when I was 7, but get your point. What I meant, is being in North London like a badge of honour or something? Like you were formed in Tottenham, so can get why that area is crucial to your identity, in the same way West Ham are an East End club, Charlton are South London, etc, but is it because Arsenal moved from South to North that annoys you? Honest question mate, the origins of clubs/rivalries interest me.

Like I noticed that Spurs and Arsenal were rivals even when they were in South London ages ago.
 
I emailed ITV last night to complain about having to, yet again, watch a football match on TV with the sound turned off because of the garbage commentating team they employ. Not holding my breath for a reply though :mad:

I think the Spurs-Arsenal rivalry began back in 1919, when Arsenal bribed their way into the top division despite having finished fifth in the old Second Division back in 1914-15, the last year before war interrupted league play. Spurs had finished bottom and were relegated despite the First Division opting to go to 22 teams from 20. Chelsea had finished 19th and were spared the drop, and Derby and Preston NE, first and second in the old Second Division in 1914-15, came up when the league was restarted. But Barnsley and Wolves, third and fourth in 1914-15, were leapfrogged by the Gunners, who have been in the top flight ever since.
 
He's becoming a bit like the new Darren Anderton

Great on his day but his career is eventually derailed through injuries

Good i hope so the crying, overpaid, over rated, southern beaut. I cannot stand the player, he can get physical with everyone else but if someone does it to him then he spits his dummy out. I heard Wenger wanted a 50 yard restraining order against the world so nobody could touch him.

Had a look at this last night. Pretty sure they were your main rivals miles before that, at risk of showing grannie to suck eggs. Read something that you were by far the most popular London clubs, and the rivalry began pretty much from the origins of the game on an organised basis in London.

Or scrub that. Miss read it ffs. The 1913 move did it really, before that you were just the two largest/well established clubs in London.

Carry on.
