The north London derby

I LOVE the north London derby. Always have done, always will do. 

Not only is it one of the biggest games in domestic football, it’s a match watched all over the world.

As someone who has attended nearly 100 clashes between Arsenal and Spurs over the last four decades — at Highbury, White Hart Lane, Wembley, the Emirates and the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, I simply can’t wait for tomorrow’s clash.
