How the power shifted in north London: Arsenal were utterly dominant at the start of the Premier League era and finished above them for 21 SEASONS but Tottenham have turned tables after mismanagement and financial woes at the Emirates

Any reference of 'Tottenham' and 'power shift' in the same sentence is usually dismissed with a soft chuckle when speaking to an Arsenal fan.

It's the debate raised nearly every season. Are things finally shifting in north London? For so many years Arsenal provided the answer on the pitch. Across two dominant decades and 21 consecutive seasons they finished above Spurs, who were unable to dish up any sort of response in the trophy department either.

While Arsenal dazzled in the late 90s and early 2000s, led by superstars like Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp, sweeping up silverware left, right and centre, Spurs have never matched up to their haul in the Premier League era.
