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".

Arsenal v Villa at Wembly!
She wore a yellow ribbon in the merry month of May...
Spurs sadly won.
The situation is...
| Games | Points | GD | Points behind | (games left) | (max points) | |
| Arsenal | 32 | 66 | +31 | |||
| Spurs | 33 | 57 | +6 | 9 | 5 | (72) |
So we still need 7 more points to be sure. (Six is not enough: to be certain we need the daylight. Six points will not give St Totteringhams! It is unlikely Spurs will make up the points but we don't celebrate yet, the same applies to goal difference.)
Sadly this means it can't be in April. Even the best results next weekend leave us just on the brink. The best results include us beating Chelsea.
So the run-in...
| Date | Arsenal | Spurs |
|---|---|---|
| Sat Apr 25 | Southampton (a) | |
| Sun Apr 26 | Chelsea (h) | |
| Sun May 3 | Manchester City (h) | |
| Mon May 4 | Hull City (a) | |
| Sat May 9 | Stoke City (a) | |
| Mon May 11 | Swansea (h) | |
| Sat May 16 | Hull City (h) | |
| Sun May 17 | Manchester Utd (a) | |
| Wed May 20 | Sunderland (h) | |
| Sun May 24 | West Bromwich Albion (h) | Everton (a) |
So best case will be on Sunday May 3rd, and I'm confident it will be before we play at Old Trafford. Nearly there...
