Jessica O'Leary-Nash decided that the best thing to reflect the ending of St Totteringham's day was by sharing that infamous Dele Alli wave goodbye, sharing it on Twitter.
Jon Glanville shared a video of WWE legend Brock Lesnar in a wrestling ring laughing, adding that "the streak is broken."
Roger Bennett wrote on Twitter: "First Brexit, then Trump, now St. Totteringham's Day cancelled. World. Gone. Mad."
An Arsenal fan pointed out that St Totteringham's Day was even celebrated with a squad consisting of "Almunia, Chamkh and Squilacci" - clearly having a dig at the current crop at the Emirates.
Spurs crushed Arsenal in their final north London derby at White Hart Lane with two second-half goals inside three minutes that look to have ended the Gunners’ top-four dreams.
