I don’t support Manchester United

Posted in aimless musing on May 31, 2008 | No Comments »

Nevertheless, I am pleased that an English team won the Champions League Final and did so with a predominantly English attacking force. Alright. Having completed this attempt to boost my blog’s standings in the random search hits, I will turn to things I actually wanted to write about. (It’s Liverpool for me, by the way.)
