Arsenal moved to Spurs' backyard in 1913. 180+ meetings. Highest PL ratings outside Manchester.
The North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is the fiercest neighborhood grudge in English football, fueled by Arsenal's 1913 relocation to Highbury — a move that placed them in Tottenham's backyard. The fixture has been played over 200 times since 1887, drawing Premier League's top attendance figures outside the Manchester Derby, with an average of 60,000 spectators per match. Tottenham fans derisively call Arsenal 'the Gooners,' while Arsenal fans respond with 'Yids.' This derby outperforms #10 Derby del Sol in global broadcast reach, attracting 7 million UK viewers per encounter.
