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:
| Games | Points | Points behind | (games left) | (max points)
| Arsenal | 29 | 58 |
| Spurs | 29 | 34 | 24 | (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
