The sh*te from Spurs. They bought his flight. But Willian, he saw the light. He got the call from Abramovic, and off he went to Stamford Bridge! He hates Tottenham. He hates Tottenham. He hates Tottenham, and he hates Tottenham.

Take me back to August 25, 2013

Let's go back to the 2010s.

The date is August 25, 2013, and it's a Sunday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Virgo. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

The summer of 2013 is coming to an end and fall is just around the corner. In America, the song "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke is at the top of the singles charts, while "Burn" by Ellie Goulding is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie The Butler is at the top of the box office.

David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Futurama", "Sons of Anarchy", "RuPaul's Drag Race", and "Once Upon a Time". Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu.

It's 2013, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Macklemore, Robin Thicke, Imagine Dragons and Bruno Mars. A social networking website called Vine is extremely popular at the moment. Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden has just revealed to the public that American intelligence agencies have been running a widespread global surveillance programme called PRISM.

Gamers are excited about the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto V. The game, which will take place in San Andreas, is set to be released on September 17th. Hundreds of people have been left dead following a chemical attack on rebel-controlled areas in Ghouta, Syria. The attack is receiving widespread condemnation across the world. In soccer, Brazilian footballer Willian has just signed for Chelsea despite earlier reports that he was expected to join Tottenham. In music, Justin Timberlake's music video "Mirrors" has just been crowned as the winner at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Paul Walker, Nelson Mandela, James Avery, and Ariel Sharon would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "The Walking Dead", "Guild Wars 2", "Dishonored", and "Dota 2". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Curious George", "Glee", "Doc McStuffins", and "Paw Patrol".

Children are playing with toys such as the LeapPad Explorer, Cards Against Humanity, Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides, and Tonka Chuck & Friends Chuck's Stunt Park.
