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".

Well that was awful
We drew with a team who have only managed seven points since 2nd January. Bottom of the 2016 table.
What a load...
Anyway we are now five behind Spurs with both teams having five games left. Seriously I can't see any way back from this.
| Spurs | Arsenal |
|---|---|
| Stoke City (A) | West Bromwich Albion (H) |
| West Bromwich Albion (H) | Sunderland (A) |
| Chelsea (A) | Norwich City (H) |
| Southampton (H) | Manchester City (A) |
| Newcastle Utd (A) | Aston Villa (H) |
Spurs need 11 points to be sure of finishing above us. Four wins will get them there. I'm looking at WBA, Southampton and Newcastle as three of them. Can both Stoke and Chelsea do us a favour?
The option is us dropping points. I suspect we will beat Manchester City, but I can't see us not helping Spurs further by dropping something against Sunderland or Norwich: both scrapping for their life.
Like Palace.
I might feel more optimistic if Stoke beat Spurs...
