“They Aren’t Even From North London!” | Arsenal vs Tottenham | Roots of the Rivalry
Tottenham vs Arsenal, Spurs vs The Gunners, The North London Derby; one of the Premier League’s most heated rivalries that divides friends and family alike in the quest to be the top team in the North. Historically, Arsenal have gotten the better of their rivals, though the gap is closing. In this video, we’ll look at the historical significance of this rivalry, including the history of Tottenham Hotspur FC and the history of Arsenal FC (including when they were from the south of London and went by Woolwich Arsenal).

Who do you prefer Arsenal or Tottenham?
None
I always thought that Arsenal got chose over Tottenham for the first division because they wanted London clubs as it looked better for the league and Tottenham were not part of London until 1965.
@@Zauchi ...tottenham were in middlesex at the time and arsenal had moved into north london. so in effect arsenal were technically in north london before tottenham.
You also missed the biggest issue with the Sol transfer...he went for FREE!
That wasnt the biggest issue with the transfer lol
@@thelaw1984 we effectively took him as a refugee
So
I remember the day I bought a newspaper at 6 in the morning and the big story on the back was that we'd got sol Campbell off of the scum and even better it was for FREE. Oh how I laughed, and laughed. I probably laughed some more after that as well.
He's one of our own hes one of our own sol Campbell hes one of our own
I would have loved if you had dropped in Wenger’s response to the question “are Tottenham closing the gap?” To which he said “last I checked they are still 4 miles and 11 titles away”

Ajax v Feyenoord is the bigger rivalry in comparison to Ajax v PSV
It's often overlooked that Spurs weren't a 'London' club until 1965. Although in the conurbation they were actually in Middlesex until the creation of Greater London when Tottenham became part of the newly created London Borough of Harringay.
Preach!! Rule of thumb for me is, if you can get there by tube, you’re not in London 😂

Hang on. I’ve supported Spurs since the early 80’s. Are you telling me the first NLD in 1921 happened on my birthday no less??!! TTID indeed
No it happened In 1965!
Spurs won on your birthday!
"You're not even from North London " goes the song. Well neither ate you! When Tottenham was formed they were outside the boundary of London. From some little ham in Middlesex.
Arsenal aren't even from North London! While Tottenham isn't even from London! the area used to be a part of another city. So both arguments cancel each other
@Bazza Cuda "Tottenham was a local government district in north east Middlesex from 1850 to 1965" . From the history books.
Wrong, Middlesex was just the name of the district/borough, Spurs have always been N.London since formed in 1882. Like Romford is London borough of havering, it is still Romford Essex.
You're talking shit.Tottenham was London when the club was formed but this season we will cancel you out.
@Siraat Al Mustaqeem It is, its part of London borough of havering council due to the market town parish
Woolwich was in Kent
Man I just love the way you have researched everything. Hats off to you. Love you videos.
reasearched everything lol spurs come from Middlesex, not north London
Tottenham was a local government district in north east Middlesex from 1850 to 1965. So Arsenal have been a part of North-London much longer than Tottenham
and arsenal was formed in woolwich which was in kent until 1889, where it merged with london to from the county of london, thus making them a london club, however when they moved to highbury they were no longer a london club as they were also part of middlesex, therefore making the BOTH north london clubs at the SAME time in 1965
@@conorwatson2983 well. it does not make any difference. Same old Tottenham, always boring
ROTR is quality content Adrian - thank you! As a geordie, would love to see a Newcastle and Sunderland video!
Enjoyed this so much. A lot gained too. Good job
When Arsenal moved to North London, Tottenham wasn't even in London it was in Middlesex...so Spurs aren't from London let alone North London
Spuds never played home games in North London until 1965, when Tottenham became part of London after always being in Middlesex.
Great video man. You know your history!
nice touch having the replay on the sharp tv ;)
Wasn't tottenham ground originally in Middlesex and engulfed by the growing London conurbation. So technically not a North London team either
Dang, beat me to it by a couple of weeks. I'll just have to stay on my Middlesex hobby horse and complain about Brentford being called a West London club 😀
Absolute stupidity, Arsenal got in their caravans and moved. Tottenham can't do a thing about the government changing the London boundaries...

pat jennings is also someone to mention in this tale. A great goalie who played for both clubs.
I disagree... At that time it was said that Sol Campbell was definitely leaving Spurs ... but we all thought Barcelona, Juventus etc... but then it was said that Sol Campbell was not leaving North London.... Then we had to work out how many other clubs were there in North London West Ham maybe as Ian Wright did..... Then we all thought NO WAY IS THIS GUY GOING TO ARSENAL....

Love your videos...
Plus Pat Jennings joining Arsenal from Tottenham and the Boxing Day clashes, back in the day these clashes spoiled over in the streets which added to the a lot of hate into the derby.
This would have been a good video if you didn't skip over the most important fact... Tottenham was never a part of what is considered London until after Arsenal moved north of the river. Arsenal has always been a London club and moved north of the river in 1913 to Highbury from Manor ground, spurs became one in 1965 after joining the London borough of Haringey. Spurs had no "territory" in London because they were never a part of London untin 1965
Been looking for this comment.
@@RaTeeBoom it's nothing but the truth
True
Technically, back then it was the county of "Middlesex" and the county of "London". Both counties were abolished to join the county of "Greater London". Arsenal were based in the county of "London", which wasn't ever the same as the "City of London" and like I said before, also no longer exists. The areas we call "North London" and "South London" were only informally coined when "Greater London" became a thing. That means that before 1965, neither team was part of "North London" and were in two different counties that no longer exist but were in the same area. This is the reason you don't hear older generations make the "Middlesex" argument, because they lived through this. Presumably the reason this argument wasn't included in this video is because it's invalid and the makers did more research than your typical 15-year-old Arsenal supporter on Twitter.
@@shaun2463 go back and try again
West Ham v Millwall please 👀
Can you make a video about the Royal Antwerp FC - Beerschot rivalry in Belgium? They’re two pretty unknown clubs in Europe (especially Beerschot) but it’s by far one of the biggest rivalries
Any football club with "beer" in its name is worth a look in, any day.
Woolwich was the home of the Royal Artillery depot as well.
Aston villa vs. Birmingham city for roots of the rivalry
Sky TV ?!?
Adrian, I eventually want to see a Black Country Derby video. Let's see if West Brom gets back in premier next season (as Wolves are definitely staying up). I guess put that in the back of your head until then.
Merely a play off match to be Villas main rival !!
@@johnsaunders2109 West Brom will always be our main rivals. But the Baggies and Birmingham City are making sure we will just have to settle on a West Midlands Derby.
The part about getting the old Nottingham Forest jerseys apparenly never happened. According to Tim Stillman
It's true. Also Juventus got their strip, the black and white stripes from Notts County, the other Nottingham club.
I wonder how many hours of research are in these brilliant 15 minutes of content... Not that I care much about the North London derby but watching this was time very well spent!

Tottenham are from Middlesex, so they’re not really a North London club either.

Tottenham's ground was never officially called White Hart Lane. The original office was Bobby Buckles house which was on White Hart Lane.

Spurs aren't from North London either. When they were formed in 1882, Tottenham was part of the county of Middlesex, not the metropolitan County of London. Tottenham didn't become part of London until 1965, by which time arsenal had been long settled in Highbury.

The first North London derby was in 1965 when the GLC was formed. Prior to that Tottenham was in Middlesex. This means Arsenal are the original North London club, and the only North London club to be English Champions, as Spurs' only titles were when they were in Middlesex.

Could you do the Manchester Derby?
Oldham v Rochdale?!?
Yes. I was waiting for this one, pal! 🤗I'm hoping for a good match but it'll probably be a dull 1-1 draw, which will be just fine for me. Spurs still have to go to the Ethiad and Anfield. A win is far more imperative for them than it is for Arsenal. A loss or a draw pulls 'em straight back into the mix of the top 4 race.
A win is important to Arsenal too because Utd are right behind them. Though I agree that it might be a draw as I think the game will be cagey as neither want to lose (unless a early goal is scored... which would make the game very interesting as if that happens I expect at least one red card. lol)
@@Zauchi Yes, I agree but we haven't won away to a top 6 side in 4 years now so a win is an uphill task but something has to give. The Emirates is sadly a happy hunting ground for United. The game against them after the derby won't be easy
