"?Former Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal defender Sol Campbell has hit out at claims that the power between the North London rivals is shifting to White Hart Lane, stressing that a club must show ascendency for a number of years in order to become the dominant force, he told "?City AM.
Campbell made himself public enemy number one in the eyes of all Tottenham fans when he infamously crossed the fierce divide to sign for the Gunners on a free transfer in 2001, resulting in his former supporters labelling him 'Judas'.
He won't have done himself any favours with these comments, where he states his belief that Spurs still have plenty of work to do before they become the power force in North London.
"Power shift is when you start winning Premier Leagues and FA Cups on a regular basis and getting to quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals of the Champions League, that's power shift," Campbell said.
"Power shift is not one season. Power shift is when you've got consistency over a five or 10-year period, that's power shift. There is no evidence yet.
"There is potential, but everybody has got potential. It's all about realising potential and making it into reality."
Campbell feels many fans and pundits have become carried about by the progress of a side before they have had time to show they can be consistent, and doesn't think Spurs can be considered the greater out of the two clubs until they can produce their form from this season and replicate it over the course of the next decade.
"The trouble with football now is a lot of people jump up and down after about one or two seasons.
"Come back to me when it's five or 10 seasons and you have consistently played top, top football. It's all about consistency over the years, not just one season."?
