St Totteringham's Day was 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 was the day to collect on bets made by over-optimistic Spurs fans in the close season who think that "this is the year".

Poldi is a superstar!
Two great finishes from Lukas Podolski, and one from Giroud tonight
completed quite a good weekend for the pursuit of St Totteringham's day.
Spurs failure to win whilst we were otherwise engaged (reaching an FA Cup Final the hard way) leaves the gap between us enhanced after today's result:
| Games | Points | GD | Points behind | (games left) | (max points) | |
| Arsenal | 34 | 67 | +18 | |||
| Spurs | 34 | 60 | 0 | 7 | (4) | (72) |
Arsenal need just 6 points from four games to beat Spurs
In fact it could happen this weekend if Spurs lose on Saturday lunchtime, and Arsenal win at Hull the next day. So I shall be cheering on Fulham!
| Date | Arsenal | Spurs | Everton |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wed 16 April | Crystal Palace (H) | ||
| Sat 19 April | Fulham (H) | ||
| Sun 20 April | Hull City (A) | Manchester United (H) | |
| Sat 26 April | Stoke City (A) | Southampton (A) | |
| Mon 28 April | Newcastle Utd (H) | ||
| Sat 3 May | West Ham United (A) | Manchester City (H) | |
| Sun 4 May | West Bromwich Albion (H) | ||
| Sat 11 May | Norwich City (A) | Aston Villa (H) | Hull City (A) |
| Key (position 9/4/14) |
|---|
| top 4 |
| Over 50 points |
| 40-49 points |
| 30-39 points |
| relegation zone |
It looks more likely to go beyond this weekend though: somehow I think Fulham won't be doing us a favour. I live in hope though. I think it should be settled before the end of April this year.
