Product Description
Product Description
From the boardroom to the manager's office, from the training ground to the stands, this volume follows the highs and lows of the 1999/2000 season for Arsenal and Tottenham.
About the Author
Alex Fynn has been going to Highbury and White Hart Lane for over forty years. He has also advised Arsenal and Tottenham as well as the Football League and the FA on media and marketing. He is the author of seven football books, including Heroes and Villains, which dealt with the 1990-91 season at Arsenal and Tottenham, and Dream On, which looked at Tottenham as a Premier League club. Olivia Blair was formerly editor of FourFourTwo magazine. Following that, she wrote an eclectic weekly football column for the Independent, and has also edited a number of football books. She now works as a freelance football writer.

Format:Paperback
I enjoyed the hardback so I bought the paperback for the update and the extra chapters. Well worth it. Of course you don't have the very latest news - turn to the back pages or web pages for that - but this is current events seen with the advantage of intelligent analysis and informed insight. Fascinating reading for Arsenal fans, teeth-gritting facing of reality for Spurs fans, but a story of relevance to all football fans.
Format:Paperback
For those of us that devoured the hardback edition of this authoritative and readable tome, the paperback is a welcome release. Fynn and Blair take us even further into the world of North London football with their usual blend of the serious, the sobering and the silly. If you are an Arsenal or Spurs fan and can read, you are doing yourself a great disservice if you don't own this book.
Format:Paperback
I've just bought the paperback edition and the three new chapters add even more fascinating revelations on the state of London's two deadliest footballing rivals. It's bang up to date covering everything from Sugar's departure to the arrival of Glenn Hoddle at Tottenham along with Sol Campbell's dramatic transfer and Arsene Wenger's management philosophy. I don't know how Alex Fynn gets so much inside info but he clearly manages to open doors that would be shut to the rest of the sporting press. A great read written in a pacy, irreverent style.

Depressing if you're a Spurs fan
Well it's a quite good book, with some genuine insider's information, but there is by far too much about Arsenal and too little about Spurs. Read more

An absolute must for Gooners and Spurs fans
Although season 1999/2000 wasn't a vintage one for either Arsenal or Spurs in the end, this book remains an essential document for followers of either tribe. Read more

The Great Divide unites North London
