Welcome to Wednesday my lovelies. Remember, if anyone wishes you a happy hump day today, it's your sworn duty as a member of the AppSpy community to stare them directly in the eye and sigh as loudly and dramatically as you can physically manage. Trust me, it's in the rules.

A football game that might not have the polish of the likes of FIFA, but keeps things simple and engaging all the same. Sure it's more of a kick about in the park than the Champions League final, but sometimes that's far more entertaining.
