In sports circles, there is a word called 'derby', and there are now roughly several derby matches: the first is a confrontation between two teams located in the same region, such as Manchester United and Manchester City, the second is a match between two teams of similar strength and historical glory, such as Ajax vs. PSV Eindhoven or Feyenoord, and the third is a confrontation between two of the strongest teams in a country, such as Barcelona vs. Real Madrid. There is also a fourth type of tug-of-war between two teams after they have a grudge due to some historical or other factors.

And Arsenal's derby against Tottenham is a combination of the first and fourth, and it is a serious hostility. The two clubs, from the owners to the fans to the players and even the cleaners, were incompatible. The feud between the two teams has lasted for 120 years! You will never find another pair of bitter enemies with such a long history, recognized as the hottest derby in the world, there is no one!

Perhaps this has something to do with the background of the two teams: Arsenal was formed by workers from the Royal Arsenal and came out of the slums. Tottenham, on the other hand, was founded by the Earls of Northburland, who owned a large estate estate in the Tottenham region. Their ancestor is the 'dragoons' of the golden branches and jade leaves. And the founder of Arsenal is a rough 'wild gunner', so the temperament of the two is very different from the beginning.

For the first time in the history of the two teams, Tottenham gave Arsenal a dismissal: it was a friendly match that took place at the end of 1887, and in the 75th minute of the game, Tottenham's home lights suddenly went out for some reason. Tottenham won the game 2-1. Tottenham claimed it was too dark because some of Arsenal's players were late, while Arsenal fans insisted that Tottenham deliberately turned off the lights in the lead-line advantage.

Three months later, at Arsenal's home stadium, Arsenal returned the color 6-2, and three players were kicked and injured in that game, and the hatred between the two teams was like this!

In fact, the earliest Arsenal were not in North London, but in Woolwich, southeast of the Thames, across the river from the city of London, where the economy was very decayed and the development space was limited. Arsenal are in financial crisis. It just so happened that around that time, Fulham club director Sir Norris saw Arsenal's potential. Invested directly in Arsenal and relocated Arsenal to Highbury in North London.

This is a bully for Tottenham! Because Highbury is closer to the center of London than White Hart Lane, where Tottenham is located! In particular, Arsenal's stadium is located next to the underground station, and it takes 10 minutes to get to White Hart Lane! In particular, Arsenal has also obtained the only subway station named after the club so far! This is the fan resource of North London that Hongguoguo has robbed.

The move drew strong opposition from Tottenham Hotspur in north London, Leyton Eastern FC and another London side, Chelsea. The three clubs joined forces to protest to the FA, but they failed. The mighty Sir Norris has set all obstacles in his way. Through various diplomatic means, Norris was able to negotiate with all kinds of difficulties, and finally bought six acres of vacant land from St. John's Theological Seminary to build the stadium with the support of his old friend the Archbishop of Canterbury. Since then, Arsenal has completed this historic move. The animosity between the two teams deepened.

Of course, this is not the real reason for the hatred between the two teams, the real reason is that Sir Norris once played Tottenham fiercely!

In August 1914, the First World War broke out, and many of Tottenham's main players were called up, but the football league did not stop. At the end of the day, the last two in place were Chelsea and Tottenham.

It stands to reason that the two teams should be relegated, but as the war in Europe intensified, the league had to be stopped and resumed four years later. The league committee intends to add two teams to the First Division, so the last two teams in the final season, Chelsea and Tottenham, have no need to worry about relegation. Everyone thinks that the two new places should be decided by the top four teams in League Two through the play-offs, and Arsenal, who were fifth in the second division at the time, could not be promoted no matter how much they tossed.

But the ability of Sir Norris was underestimated, and he was good friends with the then FA president John McKenna, and under his operation, the FA made it a decision for the FA executive committee to vote on which teams were promoted and which teams were relegated. Norris used various tricks to win over the English FA's executive committee members one by one. Ask them to support the Arsenal upgrade.

This was not difficult for Norris, as the big antipathy towards Tottenham Hotspur was common in the English football community at the time------ Tottenham Hotspur had always been a Jewish football club. From the very beginning, the ownership and management of the club has always been controlled by Jews, and even the colour of their shirts is different from that of other English clubs that are dominated by red and blue, with Tottenham opting for white.

Norris took advantage of the anti-Semitism of the people at the time and pulled another London team, Chelsea, into his squad, and the enemy of the enemy was my friend, and Norris used this method to pull one faction and one faction. Got a lot of support.

Two months later, the FA's vote shocked everyone: fifth-placed Arsenal were promoted to the second division, while Tottenham were relegated and Chelsea were relegated.

Tottenham also competed, returning to the First Division the following year with a record-breaking result. But in 1928, they faced relegation because of a big injury. At this time, Arsenal jumped out and fell into the trap: deliberately losing to Tottenham's relegation opponent, resulting in Tottenham's relegation------ they did not do this to the detriment of others, Tottenham relegated, they can recruit more north London fans. Because of this, Norris was banned from the management of the club by the FA.

Although Norris was punished, the hatred between the two teams has reached the point of no repair.

After all these years, Arsenal and Tottenham have had their respective fortunes rise and fall, and there has never been a time when they both flew high or were unlucky together. Arsenal never left the top flight again to become one of the most successful clubs in the world. Tottenham, on the other hand, has been relegated three times and has lived a dark life in the second division for 15 years.

Looking at the results, Tottenham are far worse than Arsenal, but Tottenham definitely has no shortage of fans overseas. Tottenham's style is very attractive: emphasis on ground coordination, winning or losing may not be important, but it must be played beautifully! Attack and entertainment are the rules of the coach of Tottenham legend Nicolson, and any Tottenham manager who violates the training will not end up winning the trophy. For Tottenham, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, but you have to look good! And Tottenham Hotspur is also the first English team to win a European title, and has always been known as the 'five traditional giants of England'.

Arsenal's style is the opposite of Tottenham's, with a strong will and everything is about winning or losing. The performance may not be aesthetically pleasing, but it is absolutely practical. The defense is extremely good, the emphasis is on physical confrontation, and the style is brave to the point of brutality. It has also been criticized by critics. It wasn't until Arsene Wenger took charge that the style looked a lot better.

In any case, when these two teams meet together, it is definitely Mars hitting the earth, and sparks will never be indispensable, especially now that Tottenham's results have also come up, last year's league runner-up, can participate in the Champions League. The league is also currently in the top three, while Arsenal can only play in the Europa League and are currently fifth in the league. As the two Tottenham Hotspurs are getting better and better, the derby between the two teams is becoming more and more intense and more beautiful.

If nothing else, when the fans of the two teams get together, it means two words: conflict. In the local English saying, 'Every time the two teams meet, the streets and bars outside Highbury and White Hart Lane become very dangerous places to go, and before and after the game, fans on both sides will fight each other, with white knives going in and red knives out. ’

The fans of these two teams are die-hards, and they will die when they meet. So there were a lot of jokes that broke out.

If there is one most unfortunate fan of all time, it must be an Arsenal loyalist named Richie. The guy was idle, and he and his friend Josh went to a show called "Our Tattoos," which required contestants to get tattoos on their partners without their knowledge. When the tattoo session was over, Rich took off his blindfold and was dumbfounded: Josh had a huge Tottenham Hotspur crest tattooed on his chest.

Richie was dumbfounded at the time and said directly: "We will never be able to go to Arsenal to watch Arsenal games in the future。。。。。。 "For Arsenal fans, Tottenham can only be the object of abuse and slander. And tattooing the Tottenham Hotspur logo on their bodies is undoubtedly a great shame for them, and even the British "Sun" lamented: This is the nightmare of every Arsenal fan.

It's a pity that Xiao Peng can't see Tottenham Hotspur if he wants to go to White Hart Lane now, and Tottenham Hotspur has moved their home stadium to the new Wembley Stadium this season because of the renovation and reconstruction of White Hart Lane. However, it is also a good choice to go to the Emirates Stadium to watch the game.

Hua Shan handed Xiao Peng two tickets: "I sent you here." I have something to do in the evening, so I won't watch the ball game with you, is it okay?"

"Of course it doesn't matter! We're not kids anymore. Yang Meng replied excitedly.

Hua Shan was a little embarrassed: "That。。。。。。 ”

Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Are there any other questions?"

Hua Shan nodded: "Okay, today's ticket is the lower ticket of the South Stand." You don't mind, do you? The friend who bought the ticket for me was a die-hard Arsenal loyalist, so he habitually set this position. ”

Watching the game on the spot is a different experience depending on the location of the course. The upper ticket is expensive and has a wide view, but the distance is too far away to expect to be able to see a person's face without a telescope. The lower floor is cheap, the view is low, and the sense of scene is very strong. In particular, the Emirates North Stand 6-11 is where Arsenal die-hard fans gather.

However, the South Stand 23-27 District Stand that Huashan handed to the two of them, in Xiao Peng's eyes, that is the position where die-hard fans can sit.

Because it is close to the away team's area, you can abuse each other with the away team fans and sing songs to each other. And Arsenal and Tottenham are sworn enemies together, scolding and scolding. This is where only the brave can sit.

After listening to Wenshan's words, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng glanced at each other and laughed together, Xiao Peng said happily: "Huashan, I have to say, I have known you for so long, this thing is the most beautiful! ”

Yang Meng also patted Wen Shan on the shoulder: "Brother, after returning to China, I will invite you for a big health care in the evening!"

Hua Shan looked embarrassed: "I have a girlfriend。。。。。 ”

"If you don't let her know, it'll be fine!" Yang Meng looked yearning: "It is said that British football hooligans are famous, let's open our eyes today!"
