And another Premier League season is over. Arsenal have secured second place for the third year in a row, with back-to-back wins against Newcastle and Southampton to secure Champions League football too. It’s solid and impressive consistency, something we haven’t seen at this club since the mid-2000s. But once again, it feels a little bittersweet.
For many fans, the mood is oddly flat. Perhaps it’s the feeling that we never quite clicked into top gear this year. The Champions League dream fizzled out against PSG after the crushing defeat of Real Madrid. Our league form stuttered at key moments, with injuries to Ødegaard and Saka causing significant disruption to the side. We drew too many games we should’ve won, the front line lacked bite for stretches, and the midfield didn’t always control matches the way it can. After the electric football of the 22/23 run-in and the very near miss last year, this season has felt less memorable.
That said, let’s not lose sight of the achievement. Arsenal are now one of the most consistent sides in Europe. We’re in the Champions League again next season, the defence has remained elite, and the team has grown in maturity—even if we lacked the spark in attack. Declan Rice has been a revelation. Ødegaard continues to lead. Saka, even while marked out of games more often, still delivered. And our standards haven’t dropped.
And of course, there's St. Totteringham’s Day. Confirmed in early April after Chelsea beat Spurs 1–0, it's three years in a row now, and this time we wrapped it up with over a month to spare. Well it wasn't so hard this season, Spurs have been absolutely awful this campaign.
On that note, that Spurs somehow stumbled their way to a Europa League trophy is almost laughable. It's the worst final I've ever seen and it changes nothing. We beat them home and away in the derbies, and we finished 15 places above them - a Premier League record between Arsenal and Spurs. Whatever silverware they cling to, we know who really ruled this season. So yes, it’s not the ending we wanted. But second place, again, is quite an achievement. And we’re not done yet. This is still a project in motion. Let's get a striker, and some more attacking palyers and win this next season!
St. Totteringham’s Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated by fans of Arsenal Football Club. It is the day during the Premier League season when it becomes mathematically impossible for our North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, to finish above us in the Premier League table.
The exact date changes each season, depending on Arsenal and Spurs Premier League results. The celebration typically falls within the month of April or May, though in the 2007/2008 season it occurred as early as 9th March, 2008.
It highlights (with tongue-in-cheek) the fact that Arsenal have regularly finished ahead of Spurs, especially during the Arsène Wenger years and more recently under Mikel Arteta.
This website aims to predict the outcome of St. Totteringham's Day during the season using results and predictions of both Arsenal and Spurs performances.
Come on you Gunners!
St. Totteringham's Day will occur when Arsenal's current points are greater than Tottenham’s maximum potential points for the season. In other words if Tottenham win every remaining game for the rest of the season and still can’t finish ahead of Arsenal, then the conditions for St. Totteringham’s Day are met.
This can be explained by the formula:
A > T + (Rg x 3)
Where Arsenal’s points total (A) is greater than Tottenham’s points total (T) plus Tottenham’s remaining games (Rg) multiplied by 3 (3 points for a win, so the maximum number of potential points).
