编者注

编者注

Compared to the famous Manchester derby and Liverpool derby,London derby seems less likely to be mentioned.It is not because there is no London derby.In fact,Arsenal VS Tottenham,Chelsea VS West Ham United FC and Charlton VS Fulham are all the London derbies.In Europe,no cities have so many high-level professional teams except London.London has become a real football capital.比起著名的曼彻斯特德比（比赛的日子）和利物浦德比，伦敦德比似乎不太可能被提及。这并不是因为没有伦敦德比。事实上，阿森纳对托特纳姆热刺，切尔西西汉姆联队和查尔顿对富勒姆都是伦敦德比。在欧洲，除伦敦外，没有任何城市有这么多的高层次专业队伍。伦敦已经成为一个真正的足球之都。
