St Totteringham's Day is the day when Arsenal fans celebrate the fact that Tottenham can no longer catch Arsenal in the League. It is a movable feast, but usually falls in March, April or May. It is the day to collect on bets made by over-optimistic Spurs fans in the close season who think that "this is the year".

Not the best of starts to the year...
If you'll forgive the understatement we've had a disappointing start.
On the flip side despite our bad start a win at Spurs next Sunday would lift us above them. Albeit with them having a game in hand.
When I started documenting St Totteringham's day I knew that one season there wouldn't be one. That didn't matter too much at the start: it'd been a few in a row and a successful spell. Oddly the fact we've gone so many years in a row means it is going to be quite painful now when it happens. It should be easier after 16 years, not harder, but oddly it isn't. Back in 1993 I didn't mind that Spurs finished above us (partly because we'd won two cups).
I think however the really annoying thing is that the season I upgrade from a pure web page to something a little more powerful looks more likely than any in a decade that I have to be the season I may have to add "None" to the table...
