Crossing the Thames is a podcast based on the rivalry between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal (the only two worthy North London teams). The hosts, TJ Fittis and Dan Ericson cover the teams in depth each week and take many pops at each other. Yes, we're American. Don't fault us for that - we still love the game. If you're a Spurs or Gunners fan, this is the podcast for you.
This week, Tuesday April 3rd, 2018, we enjoy a Stone Brewing "Tangerine Express" beer, cover Spurs historic win over Chelsea, discuss Arsenals win over Stoke City, and introduce a new segment called "Americans Soccering Good".
Are You Lillywhite or Red? Where do you stand?
Chances are, no matter what team you support, you’ve been in a heated debate with a fan of your fiercest rival. TJ and Dan have had a long friendship separated by the chasm of English football team allegiances.
The rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur stems back 1913 when Arsenal moved from their stadium at Plumstead to a new location at Highbury. This new location was only 4 miles away from White Heart Lane, Tottenham’s former stadium. Ever since that move, a fierce rivalry developed.
The Crossing the Thames podcast pits TJ, a staunch Gooner, against Dan, a hardcore Spurs supporter. While they will agree from time to time, there’s no doubt where their loyalties lie.
TJ vs. Dan. Arsenal vs. Tottenham. Gunners vs. Spurs. Where do you stand?
