As we await the return of football, our THROWBACK series continues; What makes the North London Derby special?

Part 1

It’s been a thoroughly entertaining start to the season. After 4 games, the Premier League table is a total mess, with only 5 points separating third place from the relegation zone. How this develops will be a fascinating watch over the coming weeks and months. Unfortunately, however, we must now put a pause to the season as we recommence qualification for Euro 2020 for the 10 days.

Hello and welcome to the Total Football Podcast. I am your host, Declan Harte, and joining me as always is Andrew Conway.

Andrew, why must they ruin our fun?

Part 2

Arsenal came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at home with Tottenham. But who will be happiest with this result?

Manchester City and Liverpool won 7-0 collectively, and with that we move on…

The Champions League group stage draw took place last Thursday. Not the most exciting draw we’ve witnessed. Any predictions for the European season ahead?

Manchester United and Chelsea drew from winning positions, much like Tottenham. Which side needs this International break the most?

Part 3

There’s been 5-4s, 4-4s, 3-3s, 3-2s, back-to-back 5-2s. There’s been last minute goals, penalties, penalty saves, controversial offside decisions, red cards and, of course, handbags thrown in for good measure. Over the years the North London Derby has had it all.

What is it about this rivalry that makes it so special and makes it stand out above the rest in the Premier League?
