Recommended Posts

I often wonder why we don't get help from the state.  We have more connections to the running of this country than Real Madrid have in Spain (the heir to the throne, the prime minister and the governor of the bank of England are Villa fans)  so why cant we get a £450m handout like they did?  B)

Must admit, I was slightly sceptical as to whether Merv the Swerve was a "proper" Villa fan, but I'm now convinced.
