In a season where relegation was to
threaten Spurs, who welcomed back Jurgen Klinsmann to the Lilywhite
shirt, a point from this North London derby was
welcome.
Ginola's spectacular overhead kick was
well saved and Clemence had a header from a Klinsmann cross go narrowly wide and Arsenal's Parlour fizzed one past the
post, just before Ginola went close with a free-kick.
It was 28 minutes before the first goal and it fell for Tottenham.
Fox's cross nearly got to Klinsmann, but bounced into the path of Allan
Nielsen, who dispatched the ball past Seaman.
Anelka hit the woodwork for the
visitors and Overmars drew a good save from Walker before both Ginola
and Clemence threatened again at the start of the second half. However, with the game swinging
from end to end, it was Parlour's shot that deflected off Vega's legs
that drew the Gunners level in the 61st minute. Calderwood and
Vieira hit shots just to high, but the match could not be settled and
the clubs had to settle for a point apiece.

Justin Edinburgh's sending
off for a second bookable offence just before half time left Spurs performing a rear-guard
action to salvage a point by keeping Arsenal out.
Arsenal hit the woodwork four times in
the first half, but the defence produced sterling performances to keep
the home side at bay, with Campbell tackling Wright at a vital moment to
prevent him scoring. However, David Howells' 30 yard drive made
Seaman dive and produce a good save to keep it out after 40 minutes.

An open, attacking Premier
League match somehow ended goal-less, but not for the lack of trying.
An opening minute Edinburgh cross flew
invitingly across the face of goal with Rosenthal unable to apply the
finishing touch, Iversen brought a save out of Lukic in the third minute
with a header and then Anderton and Rosenthal both were off
target.
A 54th minute shot from Anderton
brought Lukic into action again, before Walker had to be on his toes to
keep out a Bergkamp volley and Parlour was off target with a shot from
the resulting corner.

Spurs looked like
journeying back up the Seven Sisters Road with a point until Arsenal
scored twice in the last two minutes.
Wilson was adjudged to have fouled
Bergkamp in the 27th minute and Wright converted the penalty, but Spurs
hit back through Sinton in the 57th minute, when his low drive flew in
off the post and Lukic. With time running out Adams and
Bergkamp netted to give the home side the points.

A Darren Anderton goal gave
Spurs the lead in the 25th minute of this North London derby, after
Hazard's long pass had been headed into his path. Continuing his
run from the halfway line, Anderton zipped the ball past Seaman.
Tottenham had dominated the first half, but Arsenal came back in the
second period and despite the best efforts of Erik Thorstvedt, he was
finally beaten in the 66th minute, when Wright equalised to earn a share
of the points. Teams :

A late winner for the
visitors saw the points stolen from Spurs.
Erik Thorstvedt had kept Arsenal at
bay with saves from Parlour, Wright, Jensen and Campbell, but
Sheringham's free-kick and Mabbutt's header posed problems at the other
end. Calderwood cleared a ball from under his own crossbar and
Dozzell threatened Seaman's goal with a header in the 81st minute.
It was after this spell of Spurs pressure that the Highbury side broke
away and Wright's header was enough to win the match.

Tottenham dominated this First Division
match and Paul Stewart gave Spurs the lead with a powerful header past
David Seaman from close range in the 53rd minute. As Tottenham
pressed for a second, Gary Lineker hit the bar when it looked easier to
score from close range, Howells headed Nayim's corner just wide and
Seaman denied Lineker when clean through.
Arsenal grabbed a late equaliser
through Wright to earn an undeserved point from the match.

The replay of the League Cup semi-final saw
Tottenham gain home advantage, but went
all the way to the end before it was decided.
The two sides had become almost impossible to
separate, but it was Clive Allen once more, who opened the scoring, with
a powerful finish to ram home Richard Gough's header down after 62
minutes. With Charlie Nicholas having to be replaced by Ian Allinson, the replacement managed to take Paul Davis' pass and beat
Clemence at his near post, then with time almost up and extra time
looking likely for the second time, the substitute hit a shot that was
blocked by a Spurs defender and fell invitingly for David Rocastle to
hit a low shot under Clemence for the winner right at the death.

With the second leg of the League Cup semi-final
going into extra time, a late goal
took it to a third meeting. 11
minutes into the game, Clive Allen was on the mark for the second time
in the semi, when he knocked home a fumble by Lukic from Richard Gough's
ball into the area. The goal gave him a record 12 goals in the
competition in a season - a new record.
The 2-0 lead was secure until the 50th minute,
when Viv Anderson scored from close range past Ray Clemence to put
Arsenal back in with a shout. On the hour, David Rocastle put in a
right wing cross, which Niall Quinn bundled home to make the score 2-2
on aggregate. While there were late chances for Charlie Nicholas
and Martin Hayes, they went begging and Tottenham were denied by
O'Leary's header out from under the bar when Galvin's shot looped off
Lukic's leg in extra time. The teams were required to meet
again three days later at White Hart Lane after Tottenham won the toss
after the game for home advantage.

A local derby in the League Cup semi-final started
off at Highbury, with a tough encounter which Tottenham just edged.
Spurs opened well, with Glenn Hoddle and Nico
Claesen linking to open up a chance for Allen to bring John Lukic into
the match, forcing him to tip his shot over the top. From the 39th
minute corner, Mabbutt had a shot and Lukic saved at full stretch. As the ball bounced about the Arsenal penalty
area, it rebounded to striker Allen, who stuck it away past Lukic to
give Spurs a lead they held until the end of the match.

Spurs lost out 2-3 in a
First Division meeting at Highbury.
Stewart Robson scored the opening goal in the 42nd minute and the home
side had to wait until the 79th minute until it was 2-0 with a Charlie
Nicholas goal. Straight away Steve Archibald scored when he
volleyed home Garth Crooks' cross, but the two goal cushion was restored
two minutes later as Tony Woodcock made it 3-1. Straight from the
kick off, Steve Perryman's high ball forward was nodded out by David
O'Leary to the feet of Archibald, who struck a low shot into the net to
set up a rousing finish, but Arsenal held out.

Arsenal were under the caretaker management of Don Howe for this League
visit to White Hart Lane. The Gunners left with the points thanks

free-kick and Steve Archibald who got on the end of a Glenn Hoddle

In a League Cup tie, Spurs' progress
was halted by goals from Nicholas and Woodcock after Glenn Hoddle had
put Tottenham in the match with a penalty.
Charlie Nicholas was left with the task of
putting the ball into an empty net after a defensive misunderstanding
left him with a simple goal and Woodcock ran a full 30 yards without a
meaningful challenge before scoring the second four minutes after
half-time. A corner taken by Glenn Hoddle soon after was handled
by an Arsenal player and the Spurs midfielder swept the spot-kick past
Pat Jennings to give Tottenham a little hope, but they were unable to
break down Arsenal again.

Spurs ensured that their fans would
have a Happy Easter with this Easter Monday thrashing of Arsenal.
Full back Chris Hughton scored the
opener in the 10th minute, quickly followed by Mark Falco's 14th minute
strike. When Hughton added a third in the 18th minute, Terry
Neill's Arsenal side were shell-shocked and although we had to wait
until the 56th minute for Mark Falco to hit a fine fourth past George
Wood in the Gunners' goal, the Spurs team were on top throughout.
Alan Brazil got in on the act grabbing his first goal in Spurs colours
after 65 minutes to round off the rout.

goal settle the match.
After 26 minutes, Ricky Villa broke down the left

could only knock down in front of goal for Ossie Ardiles to knock home
from close range.

Willie Young and John Duncan were
Spurs scorers in this 2-2 First Division draw.
Malcolm Macdonald put Arsenal ahead
early on, but Peter Taylor's free-kick was perfectly flighted for Willie
Young to dive in to head Tottenham level halfway through the first
half. The Arsenal striker netted his second to restore the
visitors lead before the sides turned round, but John Duncan came to
Spurs' rescue when he finished off Ralph Coates and John Gorman's good
work to score from close range late in the match.

beat Arsenal at White Hart Lane.
It took just two minutes for former
Spurs goal-scorer extraordinaire Jimmy Greaves to tap in the first goal
of the match, but four minutes later, Sammy Nelson's drive gave Arsenal
an equaliser. However, a brilliant Peter Taylor goal put Spurs
back ahead on 25 minutes.
Just after half-time, Malcolm
Macdonald brought the scored back to 2-2 before Greaves knocked home a
66th minute effort and later brought a very good save out of Jimmy
Rimmer to stop him completing a hat-trick.

Coming into the game on a
good run, this was the fifth consecutive win for Spurs to put them sixth
in the first Division.
An Arsenal chance right from the kick
off was missed and Spurs went on to record a deserved victory started by
John Pratt's 16th minute corner kick that went in, as Jimmy Rimmer
tried in vain to stop it entering the net. With 39 minutes gone,
John Duncan sealed the win with a powerful header from Naylor's
cross. Despite Arsenal's attempts to get back into the match in
the second half, they failed to breach the Spurs defence.

A single
Ray Kennedy goal won this match for Arsenal, but that does not tell the
full story of the game.
Steve Perryman had to
abandon his car a mile away and walk to White Hart Lane as a crowd of
nearly 52,000 were inside the Lane, but an estimated 100,000 were locked
out as battle commenced. Martin Peters hit the crossbar with a
fine effort and Spurs had to clear a McLintock shot off the line, but
with just three minutes left Armstrong's cross was headed in by Kennedy.
Spurs then laid siege
to the Arsenal goal, but when a last minute melee in front of the goal
ended with Wilson grabbing the ball, the last chance had gone for
Tottenham.

It was League Cup
disappointment for Tottenham in the second leg of the semi-final when
Radford scored his second goal of the tie to send Arsenal through to a
final with Leeds United. Mike England
was used an an auxiliary forward, as he had been in the first leg, but
it was midfielder Terry Venables who brought Bob Wilson into action with
three shots from distance in the first half.
Into the second period, it was Alan Mullery's
through pass that sent Jimmy Pearce away to dink in a cross for Greaves
to finish and level the aggregate score halfway through the half.
However, with just three minutes remaining, George Armstrong fashioned a
cross for Radford to head home and send Arsenal through to a final
against Swindon Town, which they lost.

hooked shot from Mullery's cross gave Tottenham a fifth minute lead.

to the lead in the 27th minute against his old club.

Tottenham
topped the league with Arsenal tied for second place as a huge crowd
packed into White Hart Lane to witness this top of the table clash.
Forward John White had
an early shot cleared off the line, Laurie Brown hit the bar and Joe
Baker rattled the woodwork at the other end. Arsenal took the lead
with a goal from Geoff Strong who converted John MacLeod's cross in the
43rd minute, but Spurs were level before half-time. Only a
fisted save by Fred Clarke stopped Brown scoring on his impressive debut
for Spurs after signing the day before from the opponents in this match
!! However, Jimmy Greaves knocked home the spot kick to score for
Spurs.
Two goals by winger
Cliff Jones within the space of three minutes gave Spurs a 3-1 win.
His first was a neat finish to Greaves' pull back from the bye-line and
his second from White's right wing cross.

Spurs - Hollowbread, Baker, Hopkins, Beal, Norman, Marchi,

An eight goal thriller saw
the points shared in a high scoring draw.
Spurs took a four minute lead when
Dave Mackay hit home from 18 yards and John White doubled the lead after
16 minutes. When White set up Cliff Jones on 30 minutes to fire in
a third, it looked a formality for Tottenham to claim the points, but
David Court dragged Arsenal back into the match with a goal a minute and
made it 3-2 before the break.
Good play between Blanchflower, White
and Les Allen provided an opportunity that Jones accepted before John
MacLeod brought it back to a one goal deficit and Geoff String squared
it up at 4-4 with just 17 minutes before the end.

A penalty
goal gave Arsenal a home win over Spurs in a rain lashed match at
Highbury.
The penalty came when
Jimmy Dimmock was adjudged to have brought down in the area and
Graham, who was captain for this - his benefit - match, converted from
the spot in the first half. Spurs had been restricted by an thigh
injury to Grimsdell after about 25 minutes, but he was unable to
continue in the second half.
Dimmock came close to
making amends for his earlier indiscretion with a run that saw him shoot
as Tim Williamson advanced, but the ball was cleared as it was going in
by defender Alf Baker.

Arsenal - Williamson, Baker, Graham, White.
Spurs - Blake, Grimsdell, Dimmock

Spurs hosted Royal Arsenal
from South London on Tottenham Marshes in the first meeting between the
two sides for a friendly match. Having arrived late, the visitors
scored early on in proceedings and defended their lead with all their
might.
The tactic failed, as Spurs went 2-1 ahead and
were only denied when bad light stopped play ... a result of the Arsenal
side turning up late.
