The win puts Spurs back above Arsenal in the Premier League table. There’s always disappointment after a derby loss. Spurs were downtrodden after their 4-2 defeat to Arsenal last weekend, but it was important they didn’t let any of those negative feelings carry over into the next game. Job done....

Agree to disagree! Tottenham Hotspur have yet another midweek match tomorrow, this time hosting manager-less Southampton at Wembley Stadium. Unsurprisingly, the questions for Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino centered more around the North London Derby loss to Arsenal than it did on Spurs’ upcomi...

Like Tottenham, Christmas traditions can be bad and dumb. That was DOUBLE-PLUS UNGOOD. Tottenham Hotspur went into the Emirates hoping for a clean sweep at the end of a tough run of fixtures, or at minimum their first draw of the season. Instead, they got flattened by Arsenal , losing the first o...

Yep, seems about right. The Football Association has come down hard on both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal after Sunday’s North London Derby, and decided to charge both clubs with failure to control their players. The incident was the first half sideline brawl after Eric Dier scored an equalizing...

It just was not Spurs’ day. The first North London Derby of the year was not a kind one to Tottenham Hotspur . A strong second half by Arsenal that was capped off with three unanswered goals left Spurs on the wrong end of a 4-2 result. The match could not have gotten off to a worse start for Tott...

It’s all change at the Emirates for Arsenal under Unai Emery, and they have adapted well. Change is hard, but Arsenal are doing their best with it. For the first time in more than two decades, Arsene Wenger is not failing to zip up his puffy coat on the sidelines. Instead, that task goes to Spani...
