Happy Wednesday Spursland! Has everyone had enough of this international break? Me too. Good thing we have some Spurs football this weekend...I'm sorry what? Kevin McCauley has just informed me that we have to wait until Monday. I hate everything.

Crests, Logos, And Creepy Animals-7500 To Hotle
7500 To Hotle has just replaced Coming Home Newcastle as my favorite non-CFC SB Nation footie blog thanks entirely to this piece. The lower levels of English football has a lot batshit weird stuff that you must see. Some truly amazing club names.
