1. Arsenal Won More Titles There

So we have already said that the Gunners won the first ever League South title at the Lane, but there will be plenty out there that say that wasn’t official, and that is a fair enough argument. Because technically, it wasn’t.

That being said, the Gunners have still secured more titles at the Spurs happy home than Tottenham itself.

You may have seen the banners at the last ever North London Derby at White Hart Lane, but in both 1971 and 2004, Arsenal officially secured first division championships while playing at White Hart Lane, and honor that just warms the soul.

What makes it even better is that in the Invincible year, the greatest year in Premier League history and, arguably, the greatest year in footballing in general, the title was officially secured on 25 April 2004. Which just so happened to take place at  White Hart Lane.

There was much rejoicing, celebrating and general merriment to be had as the greatest team in English Football history celebrated their historic feat on the grounds of their dear North London rival.
