Madeleine McCann Spotted at Aston Villa Versus Everton

The Archbishop writes his sermons with Google key words in mind:
“Football has come a long way since members of the Aston Villa Church Bible Class formed a football team in 1874 and the members of St Domingo’s Bible Class started playing football at Stanley Park in 1884.
“But when Villa take on Everton this afternoon for the riches of European glory, they would do well to recall the faith of their founders and to abandon the amnesia of their heritage.”

The latest flurry of news is that posters of the missing child have been ripped down in Praia da Luz.
