    This would have been a good video if you didn't skip over the most important fact... Tottenham was never a part of what is considered London until after Arsenal moved north of the river.
    Arsenal has always been a London club and moved north of the river in 1913 to Highbury from Manor ground, spurs became one in 1965 after joining the London borough of Haringey.
    Spurs had no "territory" in London because they were never a part of London untin 1965

      Technically, back then it was the county of "Middlesex" and the county of "London". Both counties were abolished to join the county of "Greater London". Arsenal were based in the county of "London", which wasn't ever the same as the "City of London" and like I said before, also no longer exists.
      The areas we call "North London" and "South London" were only informally coined when "Greater London" became a thing. That means that before 1965, neither team was part of "North London" and were in two different counties that no longer exist but were in the same area.
      This is the reason you don't hear older generations make the "Middlesex" argument, because they lived through this. Presumably the reason this argument wasn't included in this video is because it's invalid and the makers did more research than your typical 15-year-old Arsenal supporter on Twitter.

    Spurs aren't from North London either. When they were formed in 1882, Tottenham was part of the county of Middlesex, not the metropolitan County of London. Tottenham didn't become part of London until 1965, by which time arsenal had been long settled in Highbury.

      So Tottenham only became part of London in 1965, on the (rather appropriate) date of April 1st. What this means of course is that they’ve never won the League as a London club, and Arsenal were the first London club to do the Double! And also the second and third.
      To emphasise that last point, here’s the Wikipedia page for the Municipal Borough of Tottenham that features a map titled “Tottenham within Middlesex in 1961”. I’ve added this as at least one Spurs fan in the comments below seemed to think that when Tottenham became a borough in the 1890s it stopped being part of Middlesex. No such luck for him, as the status of Tottenham could not get it out of Middlesex and into the capital with Arsenal for another 70 years..research done from wiki

    If your looking for a comparison to Campbell going to arsenal I think the closest you could say was as if Raul went to Barcelona from Real Madrid as he was home grown or say iker cassias another home grown, the older fans will remember them players, cassias was only like 18 or round that age when he broke into the full team which for a keeper is really amazing because it can take years for keepers to reach their full potential as its probably the hardest and such a important role only teams with the best keepers go on to have long success.

    Tottenham's ground was never officially called White Hart Lane. The original office was Bobby Buckles house which was on White Hart Lane.

    I'm an Arsenal supporter and even i have to admit that Sol Campbell really snaked Tottenham, i approve as an Arsenal supporter but as a level headed and fair person, i can clearly see the treachery there. It was bad, personally I'd never do something so low. But hey, I'm not him 🤣

    Tottenham was a local government district in north east Middlesex from 1850 to 1965. So Arsenal have been a part of North-London much longer than Tottenham

      and arsenal was formed in woolwich which was in kent until 1889, where it merged with london to from the county of london, thus making them a london club, however when they moved to highbury they were no longer a london club as they were also part of middlesex, therefore making the BOTH north london clubs at the SAME time in 1965
