Arsenal moved to Spurs' backyard in 1913. 180+ meetings. Highest PL ratings outside Manchester.
The North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur has been played over 180 times since 1887. The rivalry is rooted in Arsenal's controversial move from Woolwich in south London to Highbury in 1913 — a decision that put them in Tottenham's backyard and generated the bitterest neighbour dispute in English football. Tottenham fans call Arsenal "the Gooners," Arsenal fans call Tottenham "Yids." The fixture routinely produces Premier League's highest attendance and viewing figures outside the Manchester Derby.
