It's a holiday that has been celebrated by Arsenal fans every year since 1995 and today it is celebrated once again. After a frustrating season where the giddy press were writing off Arsenal and declaring Spuds the new kings of North London it's even more sweet to celebrate this achievement today.
Here's just a small sample of the BS that was thrown at Arsene Wenger and his club during the now completed campaign:
Now we’re Tot dogs! Bale: Spurs have finally shot past under-fire Gunners
Spurs will win 2-1 – they’re a lot stronger than Arsenal - Harry Redknapp
Wenger to be given the sack? - Arsenal in crisis
Exclusive: Wenger held 45-minute crisis talks in a bid to salvage Arsenal's season
Rather than dissect the hows and why of the now complete Arsenal season, I'm going to take the day off to celebrate. Instead I'm going to let Gooners themselves express their feelings on this St. Totterhingham's Day 2013...but before we begin here are a couple of smug Spuds fans running their mouths and now having to suck it up:
Hey Arsene,Mind the gap!#COYS

Arsenal's inability to cope with the pressure of the big matches in 2013 gives me great confidence that they will crack on Sunday
— Enfield Spurs (@EnfieldSpurs) May 17, 2013
All these Gooners think they are gonna finish above us lol
— Mighty Spurs! (@NLondonIsWhite) March 17, 2013
And now on to the Gooners on this St. Totterhingham's Day:

Every season Arsene draws those scumbags in closer only to break their hearts at the end. You have to love the man for that.
