Only suggestion for me is St Christopher's Day in honour of the patron saint of travellers (and a polite way of reminding them of their south london roots). Ideally it could be a lot more derogatory but i cant think of anything at the moment.

No I don't think we should sink to their level really

Personally I wouldn't sink to their level but St Christopher's day is bloody funny.

Bigger kick in the balls for us to finish above them at long last and not even bother marking it. Especially when you consider how long they insisted we were "irrelevant" yet spend every season having a measuring contest with us

I think we should just leave it, celebrating finishing above your rivals is small-time mentality and as a club and fanbase we are way passed that, let them be the ones that obsess over us not the other way round.

I really want us to leave it, but there's no way that's going to happen. Some embarrassing term will be thrown around Twitter immediately after its settled.

This is what we do.

We get all ahead of ourselves like its set in stone "mind the gap" style. Time and time again.

And then whinge about 'spursy' when it goes tits. This is what we do. Time and time again.

We never learn. Just keep our gobs shut, wait until its settled and they'll know, without our having to give it a name, which, after managing it ONCE in god knows how many years, again reeks of us.

We'll never, ever learn.

They copied us in the first place

St Hotspur Day on 14 April has been around for 15-20 years (first declared in The Spur fanzine).

let's not, let's just not

it's a slippery slope that leads to being obsessed with internet polls, 4th place cups and wearing camera head bands to the game

I'll be celebrating 1st or 2nd. If that means above Arsenal, then great. But they're so atupid they think we're obsessed with finishing above them just don't mention it. Maybe once, but that's it. Leave them to stew over possibly not even 4th whilst stuck with the most stale manager in recent memory playing and watch us finally past them. Us not celebrating it would show more than naming it.

For thirty years now, I've referred to any day when Tottenham win and the gooners lose as Seven Sisters' Day. Not particularly catchy ... but if, you know, your history ...

It's not happened yet......!

Plus, I think it would be even better if it wasn't even mentioned, if we did finish higher. Bit like a big brother / sister ignoring a much younger sibling.

St Christopher's day is a clever suggestion though!
