Patient pique

I always thought he had a chance at United, but that spell at Zaragoza did him the world of good. He is definitely going to be a big part of the future at Old Trafford.

One of the best sketches in the life of Brian is the piss take of far left politics, the peoples front of Judea, no the Judean peoples front, splitter. The latest shenanigans in the Respect party show that leopards don't change their spots. Marxists and trots, don't you just love 'em.
