Spurs 100-Arsenal 0 / Arsenal 100-Spurs 0

Football's ultimate rivalries -- in a book of two halves. Is the final score Arsenal 100 Spurs 0? Or Spurs 100 Arsenal 0?
     Arsenal Spurs. Spurs Arsenal. North London giants. Detested opponents.

     Arsenal: 13 league titles. Spurs: just two -- and not since 1961! 1-0 Arsenal.

     And Spurs have only won 8 FA Cups, to Arsenal's 10, having been 8-5 ahead on wins in 1991! 2-0 Arsenal.

     The Emirates: capacity 60,361. White Hart Lane: 36,534. Nearly twice as big! 3-0 Arsenal.

     You get the picture. But there are two sides to every story.

     Spurs: founded 1882. Arsenal: 1886. First! 1-0 Spurs.

     And first to do the Double too, in 1961, ten years before Arsenal! 2-0 Spurs.

     White Hart Lane: historic, spiritual home. Arsenal: started south of the river! 3-0 Spurs.

     You decide.
