John Terry ripped into Tottenham's history after Jamie O'Hara claimed the north London club were historically bigger than Chelsea. 

The Blues legend made a brutal joke at the expense of Tottenham's trophy cabinet, which had its first addition in 17 years when they won the Europa League last season.

Ahead of Saturday's derby, he phoned in to O'Hara's talkSPORT show after the host argued that Chelsea only became big when they 'bought the league' after Roman Abramovic took over in 2003. 

'What on earth is he on about this morning, O'Hara?' Terry said. 'Even using those two words together, "Spurs" and "globally", should never be in the same sentence ever again.

'They're still doing their pre-season tours around north London, absolutely ridiculous.

'I've been invited to the game by Tottenham at the weekend. It's a 5:30 kick-off, they've asked me to get there at 5:29 and they've said they'll take me around the trophy cabinet and they'll have me in my seat by kick-off,' he joked.
