No, that's why I think Religion is now out-dated, advances in science mean most of us know that there isn't some god sat on a cloud judging us. It has performed a role though, and although many evils have been done in the name of religion I would bet that if it wasn't for it's moral guidance in the past there would have been a hell of alot more - humans can be pretty nasty animals.

Whilst I think he Bible is a load of made up fairytales and God obviously does not exist I do think religion has played an important role in our civilization. I've been reading alot of the People's War stories on the BBC and one thing that I noticed was how everyone was more religious back then. They also seemed to have a higher standard of morals than today, more respect for authority and others, better manners and just a more decent upstanding existence in general. Today we have allsorts or riches and comforts but the world we live in is materialistic, shallow and devoid of almost any decency and morals in comparison. It may be nothing to do with religion just the way the World has changed but I think Christianity played a big role in creating a decent world - especially in the days where "thou shall not kill" was a groundbreaking idea. Also to be fair, during the War millions of people were gassed to death in central Europe by a Christian country.

I don't think anyone said that.

Why do people persist with this cease to exist crap, if pompey go bust they wont cease to exist just like Saint were never going to cease to exist. There will always be a football club in Portsmouth and Southampton regardless of whatever companies go bust - same applies to any other town. I would love portmouth to go bust and end up non-league though - that would be ideal.

You would expect a case like this to be pretty water-tight if it's going to court.

I was talking about the ones in Lord of the Rings.

I can't see much difference between believing in God and believing in Father Christmas, Tooth Fairies or Dwarves.

Of course we should, at the moment we are being bulldozed into a European super state and no one even knows if it's what the British people want. More Labour lies making a mockery of democracy.

Only an idiot would think you could fly with one wing.

The BBC says Coppell has turned down Brighton, hopefully they will wont find anyone in time for next week.

Half Mile High Club?

Religion is for weak, insecure people who can't handle the fact that when they die they are just worm meat.

Screaming kids on planes should be drugged and stuffed into a soundproof shelf between the floor and the cargo hold.

Same here, the way we were spun into the war was a disgrace. I couldn't believe the British public were mug enough to give that bunch of liars another go. I'm particularly annoyed because I believed all the hype about WMDs, as it turned out Iraq was a million miles away from having any, the years of crippling sanctions meant they barely had a working army let alone WMDs.

The American system is ****ed up. I'm surprised that such a religous country are prepared to sit back and watch their neighbor die because they are less well off.

Redknapp must be getting twitchier now because you can be sure Storrie will squeel like a pig at the prospect of being banged up.

Wrong, Labour have been voted in since the start of the Iraq war so their policy of butchering thousands of innocents for more oil was well known to the electorate.

To be fair I doubt all Labour voters agree with warmongering in the Middle East. I generally vote Lib Dem because they are the only main party serious about the environment, most of their other policies I am dead against. Likewise I expect 90% of BNP voters are not racist but just voted for them because no other party are tough enough on immigration. In fact if that is your main concern then a vote for BNP gets your point across much better than a vote for any of the other parties. Just like if the Greens get shed loads of votes the main parties will shift their policies in that direction to get more votes.

So you think Heskey is the second best striker in England then too?

I don't see the problem, sacking someone for their beliefs is clearly wrong wether it's to do with the environment or not is irrelivant.

What a load of rubbish, we won the World cup with our best striker (Jimmy Greaves) sat on the bench because he didn't fit into the system. if you are using Fabio Capello as an example, why do you think he picks Heskey in his first eleven? Please don't tell me you think Heskey is our second best striker! He plays him because he compliments Rooney, he fits the system better than Crouch, Owen or Defoe who all **** over Heskey talent wise.

The way I see it their plan is not sustainable, they are just buying time hoping that if they stay in the prem someone will turn up. It's impossible to know what is going on but from bits in the press it is pretty clear Gaydamak still owns the property "assets" and either him or the bank have first dibs on January's Sky money. The latest money that has been loaned is secured against future income so I can only assume that is next year's Sky money, which if they are relegated would probably be all their parachute cash. If they go down they are ****ged, unless a backer turns up with serious cash I can see them going straight through the Championship. If they stay up they will just be fire fighting and delaying the inevitable relegation if they don't get a backer.

To be fair they also thought the Sun and the Moon were Gods and both ancestors of humans. And their food was created by a Corn God. The whole idea is based on the fact that their calendar ends in 2012 so that must mean the World ends then. Pretty dumb idea considering all calendar's end at some point, unless you have an infinite supply of paper.

there's no case to argue but fact is we've played better since Wotton has started, he might not have Lallana's skills or Scheiderlin's passing ability but he is better defensively, he has better positional sense and as you say a better attitude and more experience. it's all about having a good team, that doesn't mean dumping the most skillfull Xi on the pitch but putting the right blend of youth/experience, skill and attitude. As Big Mac said, violinists and road sweepers.

To be fair, every game we have won this season has featured Wotton. And since his return to the starting line-up against Gillingham we have won 5 and drawn 1 so he must be doing something right.
