There are many fine days where we celebrate the glorious feats of ancient old saints. St George's Day where he slayed the Dragon, St Patrick's Day where he drove the snakes from Ireland, St David's Day where he... well actually I have no clue but it probably has something to do with sheep. However the greatest Saint's Day of all is that of The Totteringham. It falls upon variable dates of the year (and sometimes in extreme circumstances not at all) but it is always a cause for celebration.
So what is St Totteringham's Day I hear you cry? It is the day upon which Arsenal Fans celebrate the fact that it is mathematically impossible for Tottenham Hotspur to finish above them in the league. We have been blessed with many St Totteringham Days over the last years (in fact the last time it did not happen was in 1996) but this year amid the other disappointments of a Premier League campaign that came so close but yet was so far, we can celebrate the fact that St Totteringham's Day occurred on the 9th March, a Premier League record!
So, rejoice Ye Gooners, we may not have any trophies, we may not be in the Champions League Final next Wednesday but some things are always a constant comfort; like the fact that no matter how much money they spend Spurs are always ripe to give us a St Totteringham's Day Treat.

Ha ha, nice one! I like this blog! Keep it up!
I'm sorry I can not condone this flippant comment about the mighty Tottenham. After all they were going to break into the big four this season gone.
That they didn't was down to an evil conspiracy.
Their transfers were spot on as well. Darren Bent in particular was snapped up at a bargain price!
Any excuse to have a drink! I'd just like to know what you'd say to our son if he wanted to be a Tottenham fan. LOL
