Happy Friday, Spursland! Well, look at that, another week of summer gone. Bale is still here, and nobody has come in. Say nothing changes in 2 and a half months, would you be ok with that?
And now the "news"
Major UK Paper Refers To A Friendship Between Two Adults As "Man-Love" In Title-Mirror
So I have to assume that the author watched I Love You Man last night. Bet he thought this was hilarious and cutting edge. In the end it was really just kind of odd.
Gareth Bale Makes A Great Save-Spurs Official
I know this is old, but not a lot is happening and I have been wondering about this for awhile and I have to assume that I am not alone in this. But what is that on Bale's head, it seems to big to be considered a headband, is it some sport of hipster half a hat? I need one in my life.

I can accept not beating you guys in the table (for now, that hopefully will change in a few years. But the fear I have of a Wallcott, Rooney, and Fellaini attack for Arsenal, esh.

Not one of them was correct.)
Mourinho Says Words About Former Players-Managing Madrid
Mourinho's comments like this about his players are exactly how I imagine the mean comments go down in the ladies room of the bar. It is like if you wanted to be that kind of an person, then Jose just taught you a 45-second master class.
It is important to note that this is Rugby League, not Rugby Union. This is, if anything, the least badass form of rugby that is 15-a-side. Let that marinate in your retinas for a minute.
