Happy Friday Spursland! How does this fine morning find you? Excited? Sad? Down in the dumps because your team's new stadium, the goal of the last 9 or whatever years won't have a cool old school name but instead a depressing corporate one? One like Uber, a company that depending on which politician you ask could be completely illegal by the time the stadium is complete? Well buck up, buttercup. Below I have compiled a list of corporate sponsors that would be way worse to have than a company that has a ridiculous (read German) name.
- Hienz Microwavable Spotted Dick Sponge Pudding Stadium. I am not sure this wouldn't be bad, I am just going off of the looks people give me when they see me eating this out of the tin while I ride around on City buses.
- Cialis Memorial Sporting Ground, because you know old dongs and woodland bathtub imagery doesn't make for a friendly sporting atmosphere for kids. Someone explain why its a commercial for a sex aid but the couple is in different tubs. Have I been doing it wrong this entire time?
- Comcast Field. Comcast sucks. Like they are bad, so bad that My friend Tim wrote thw song about them. Click this helpful link to learn what Tim thinks of them. [Editor's note: hilarious, but probably NSFW if you don't have headphones]
- Emirates. I know they already sponsor one stadium but would you expect good things for a airline that is owned by a nation that owns and mistreats (like more than the regular amount of slave mistreating, I low that seems like a pretty binary issue but go with me on this) like a crap ton of slaves. I mean those guys always are in need of good publicity and seriously what better way to cover up massive human rights abuses than with a really big stadium sized sign.
- Trump, because some things are just poor business decisions
And now the "news"
Dier: SHOCKED Kane Not Nominated For That Big Award-Sky Sports
I mean, yea, I get it dude. But Kane doesn't have the level of hair associated with the most prestigious award. You know who does? ME! you may have thought I was going to say Lloris, and that's true to but my hair is on that level too, and I don't mind telling you it has been described as devastatingly foppish.

Spain Could Be Readying To Recall David Villa-SB Nation Soccer
OK I admit I have not been the most plugged in of people who happen to have publishing privileges on a pretty big website but have things gotten this bad for Spain? Old Man playing in third rate league who had a "pretty good season" warrants a look? Why don't they just try giving a random Iberian pig a runout?
So, Should United Fans Be Panicking?-The Busby Babe
Of course they should be look what team they picked to support.
Woof, overly wordy and embarrassing. It never fails at this point in a Hoddle I hit the wall so very very hard. I write articles like March weather, in like a lion and out like a dottering old man who just had a double hip replacement. See you guys again soon.
