Nice to see that last para' too:
The club announced last May that they had agreed to donate 0.7 percent of its annual income to the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals campaign, which aims to end poverty, hunger and infant mortality, and promote universal primary education and sexual equality.
They're just a bloody shining beacon in a world of dark and stinky money grabbers.
But then it's all good exposure I guess.
