Without hyperbole, this might be the biggest North London Derby since I’ve been a fan.

Aside from the fact that it’s a North London Derby and it’s Arsenal and we hate them, there’s also the added narrative bonus that this is the last time Spurs will face the Gunners at White Hart Lane. A win today will not only keep the pressure on Chelsea at the top of the table (pending their earlier match against Everton) but will also ensure that Spurs will finish ahead of Arsenal in the table for the first time in 21 years.

So, yeah, there’s a bit riding on today’s game.

Spurs are the in-form team at the moment, winners of eight straight Premier League matches, and unbeaten at home this season. But this is the Derby: throw all that out the window when Arsenal and Spurs play. If you think Arsenal doesn’t have a chance of winning, then you haven’t seen many NLDs.

I’ve got the TV on, the kids are banished from the house, the laptop is nearby, and the bottle of bourbon is on standby. Let’s do this.

COYS!
