The blame |
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". See the links on the left for more information. Wed, 11 Feb 2026Last nights game for Spurs was a big one for the Saint: I thought it was Spurs best shot of making the NLD not the decider, bluntly because the Geordies have been poor away from home. How could I underestimate how poor Spurs are this year? I now think I am wrong and the shiny website might be right about 22-February...
To get to St Ts we need ten more points, but the head to head game counts double as any points we get counts against Spurs. If we lose it we'd need to find ten points, which is likely to be in March. If we draw we gain one and Spurs drop 2, so we'd need seven more. This is also likely to be in March. We'd need to win, which would be a change of 6 points. Leaving four to get. Our next few league games: Thurs 12-Feb Brentford (A) Weds 18-Feb Wolves (A) Sun 22-Feb North London Derby at Spurs If we don't get four points from Brentford and Wolves we have bigger problems with out title challenge to worry about! If we do get four (or more) points then we have a chance of a double celebration in February this year. Blimey. |
