Unfortunately the Champions League was not to be. Arsenal gave it their best shot, but we were outplayed by PSG away as well as home. That means another season with no trophies. In all honesty we have been off the boil this season compared to last, with a few exceptions such as Real Madrid. Still, St. Totteringham's Day has been achieved, though considering Tottenham's woeful league performance, that wasn't hard. It's fairly certain we will achieve Champions League footbal next season, but securing this is the priority now.
And we have done it! St. Totteringham's Day has been achieved for a third season in a row! With Chelsea beating Spurs 1-0, it is mathematically impossible for them to beat us this season! Well, Spurs have been awful this year. Congratulations to the Gunners on keeping this wonderful tradition alive and well!
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).
