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. Sun, 16 Mar 2025
North versus South London
So Arsenal are now 24 ahead with 9 to play:
(In case you are wondering why I haven't updated since the 12th February it is because our league form was so bad...) So come April fools day Arsenal play Fulham, and two days later Spurs travel to Chelsea for part 2 of North v South. That is an annoying wait as those fixtures could spell St T's day in early April. What we need:
I'll do an update after that game, but remember even if we win it isn't St Ts until Spurs cannot catch us! Next few fixtures:
Tue 1st Apr Arsenal v Fulham Thu 3rd Apr Chelsea v Spurs Sat 5th Apr Everton v Arsenal Sun 6th Apr Spurs v Southampton Sat 12th Apr Arsenal v Brentford Sun 13th Apr Wolves v Spurs PS I've removed the twitter/X links as twitter is not somewhere I have been in years, and don't plan on ever returning to.

So far so good...
On the 12th February, as I write this, Arsenal are a mere 23 points ahead of Spurs. Spurs have 14 games left to make up that gap. To put mhy usual table in...
To be sure of finishing above them we need to get to 70 points. So just 20 points and we will have St T's day. Of course Spurs could lose some games too, if they drop 20 they can't catch us. The quickest it could happen would be if Spurs lost their next three and we won our next four. It won't happen, but it's nice to think about it... Watch this space over the next few weeks! |
