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".

Happy St Totteringham's Day 2016. It was a slog, and I think we all had our doubts, but how could we underestimate Spurs ability to self destruct?
Off to have a quiet sit down now: Come back tomorrow for more details!
With 2 minutes to go: The Saint is not only back he's dancing!
Arsenal 3 Aston Villa 0
Newcastle United 5 (FIVE) Tottenham Hotspur 1
Laughing and dancing now. Possibly eating lasagne too!
With 12 minutes to go: THE SAINT IS BACK FROM THE DEAD.
Arsenal 3 Aston Villa 0
Newcastle United 3 Tottenham Hotspur 1
IF IT STAYS LIKE THIS IT WILL BE ST TOTTERINGHAMS DAY.
Bit stressed!
Half time: so far, so unbelievable
Half time scores:
Arsenal 1 Aston Villa 0
Newcastle United 2 Tottenham Hotspur 0
I wrote this season off months ago. To the extent that on twitter I happily took the good natured mild abuse of some Spurs fans. It was their turn, they deserved a bit of revenge...
But at half time the mindless optimism I suggested a few weeks ago is still on track. We could still have St Totteringhams 2016 despite... well everything.
Blimey.
