Happy Tuesday, Spursland! After a quick glance at the calendar, our best intern (not you, Steve) here in the Hoddle Of Coffee newsroom brought to my attention that our next game has a bit of a complication. It's a big game against Lyon in the Europa League, you see, but it falls on Valentines Day.

With that in mind, I leave you with this ammunition to use against your significant other should they prove to be unreasonable about this. I mean, we have to have priorities right?

It is not a good thing to be David Villa's wee wee right now. Yeah, I called it a wee wee, because in this situation that is all it can hope to be.
Defending The Indefinable- SB Nation
The name is offensive, it should be changed and it makes no difference that it is used by exactly nobody in any way other than referring to the team. Just because mulatto has fallen out of favor with racists doesn't mean I can, or should, start an MLS expansion club and use that as the mascot.
