    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".

    North versus South London

    Two North-South London Derbies today, both going as we would hope! Well played Merino, and thanks to Fulham for a solid win.

    So Arsenal are now 24 ahead with 9 to play:
    GamesPointsPoints behind(games left)(max points)
    Arsenal2958
    Spurs293424(27)(61)

    (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:

    • If Arsenal beat Fulham then we will have 61 points which Spurs can only match. If Spurs then draw or lose on the Thursday it will be St Ts on 3rd April.
    • If we draw, then it will be St Ts on the Thursday the 3rd only if Spurs lose.
    • If we lose it drags on until at least the 5th of April. This is also true Spurs beat Chelsea.
    • We need four points: A win and a draw for us is all that is needed before the end of the season.
    • Alternatively Spurs cannot drop four points, so they cannot afford not to win two more matches this season.

    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

    So far so good...

    This season could have an early St T's compared to recent years.

    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...
    GamesPointsPoints behind(games left)(max points)
    Arsenal2450
    Spurs242723(14)(69)

    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!
