With Tottenham’s win over Bournemouth on Saturday, finishing above Arsenal for the first time since 1995 now seems inevitable.
Here are a few things we didn’t have/know about the last time Spurs managed this spectacular feat.
Web browsers
Sure, there was the internet back when Spurs last finished above Arsenal, but it was nothing like the internet we know and abuse today.
Smart phones
Back in 1995 phones stored 10 messages and the height of fun that could be had with one was playing Snake.
DVDs
Spurs love a DVD more than most, yet they couldn’t even make one the last time they finished above Arsenal as they didn’t exist.
Imagine having no Twitter this season. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?
Wifi
1995 was the days of dial-up, per-minute charges, and a whole lot more you wouldn’t tolerate if it meant seeing Spurs finishing above Arsenal.
Sat-nav
A strong case could be made for the invention of Sat-Nav as being the reason Spurs have been able to negotiate their way out of Arsenal’s shadow.
The Emirates
Planned, built, moved in, redecorated, celebrated its 10th birthday.
5.5m Brits
The population of the UK has risen by over 5m in the last two decades or so. None of them have seen Spurs finish above Arsenal during that time.
Portable defibrillators
What’s been keeping most Arsenal and Spurs fans alive for the past 10 years.
Life in the solar system
NASA think they are close to finding life on one of Saturn’s moons which at least gives us an escape if we need it.
Red Bull
What did they mix with their vodka in 1995? Red Bull was invented, then went on to own football teams and sign Thierry Henry at the end of a career most of which never saw Arsenal finish below Spurs.
Starbucks
In 1995 coffee was instant, unlike Spurs’ success.
Viagra
Well, Spurs fans needed something when their football side couldn’t do it for them.
