With a view to netting the most column inches and cornering the headlines this weekend, Nationwide has declared Spurs to be the big winners of the new Premier League season - in house price growth, anyway.
In the 12 months to June, house prices in Haringey - home of Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane stadium - have increased by 32 per cent. At the other end of table, Newcastle saw growth of three per cent, while Burnley saw an increase of just two per cent and Hull City was firmly at the bottom with a big fat zero growth.
Nationwide has also analysed the Premier League teams by absolute house price, which would unsurprisingly put Chelsea and QPR as joint champions (average £760,144), with Arsenal (£701,030) in third and Tottenham (£513,435) dropping to fourth.
Hull City (£130,289) and Burnley (£112,868) would stay relegated at the foot of the table, but Newcastle United (£181,473) would comfortably escape the relegation zone and be replaced in the bottom three by Stoke City (£133,831).
Over the last 10 years, there are only three clubs in the current Premier League where house prices in the local area have increased by more than 100 per cent. Arsenal has seen the biggest increase with house prices in Islington increasing by 125 per cent. Hammersmith & Fulham - home to both Stamford Bridge (Chelsea) and Loftus Road (QPR) - has seen house prices rise by 110 per cent.
And while Manchester City won the 2013/14 Premier League, they do not rank as highly in the House Price Table finishing only joint 12th based on price growth with an average house price of £207,940, 73 per cent cheaper than Hammersmith & Fulham's £760,144.

Brilliant! As a Spurs fan, I fear this will be the only league will be topping this season! Nice to have a reasonably light-hearted article for a change.
