Its Friday dear friends so let us come together and give thanks. Let us join hands and lift drinks to whatever greater power you recognize (or smugly don't recognize if you roll that way, its cool we don't judge) for our ability to do all the things that make life great; day drinking, using your roommates dog to pick up ladies at the park, and playing air guitar to awesome songs your girlfriend just doesn't think are awesome.  See you Monday Spursland!

But first the news!

Pedroza Claims he Is Now A Lilly White-Sky Sports

Annnnddd still no statement on the team website.  But maybe if this guy keeps saying it , it will be so?  Ok let me try, "Luka Modric re-signs to a permanent contract", "Luka Modric re-signs to a permenant contract", "Luka Modric re-signs to a permenant contract", did it work?

Why Spurs Should Put Ledely King Out To Pasture-Sabotage Times

Is this a publication I have never heard of? Yes, but  it says something I agree with so who cares.  Ledley King will be on this team next year and probably the year after that, but he will never ever be a starter again for an extended period of time.  I say let him play sporadicly when he can for a few years and then give him a coaching job, his knowledge of playing defense is vast.  How else can you explain him coming in and playing without any training time and still dominating.  He knows the game that well.  Lets make him a Spur for life.
