A silver lining?

There's a quip involving the word handball somewhere out there...
Hello once again all…few changes since the last time I got speaking to you. My career as an amateur Nostradamus fell through, Robbie Keane got me irritated and yesterday, we were in the hat along with the rest of Europe for the Euro 2012 qualifying draw.

Thanks to ex-Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon's wonderful inability to keep quiet, we're slowly but surely learning more and more about Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer from Old Traffod to the Bernabéu last summer.

Manfield Town Are The Future
