Slavia Prague have a player with the surname Chalupa and another named Zima. Sounds like a typical Saturday night meal for me in college, ngl.

Yes, be mad at Slavia for this crap, but also be mad at Spurs because it's insane that they caved on this matter.

Remember yesterday when we wrote about Yan Diomande? Well here's Mo from the Transfer Flow, who is much smarter than me, talking about how much he rules.

Yan Diomande is having an outstanding debut season in the Bundesliga, and the world's richest clubs are already being linked to a transfer.

What makes the 19-year-old winger great, and where he can go from here:

The vibes around Tottenham and Thoma Frank are rancid right now. But for Frank, the only way out is through. (And maybe hold the boos until the final whistle.)
