Warning for Tottenham ahead of North London Derby - the year ends in a nine

The song lyrics famously remind us that Spurs always win when the year ends in one but, as Mauricio Pochettino’s side face their north London derby rivals at the Emirates this weekend, Arsenal’s lucky nine could carry just as much weight.

“When the Year Ends in One,” of course, was a Tottenham hit record released with pop duo Chas & Dave to celebrate reaching the 1991 FA Cup Final. It proved prophetic as Spurs beat Nottingham Forest to lift the trophy, having already won the Football League in 1951 and 1961, the FA Cup in 1901, 1921, 1961 and 1981 - and the League Cup in 1971.
