If people want to send their children to faith schools and the state is happy to fund them then who are we to question their right to do so in this multicultural society we live in?

Can you put an exact percentage of the amount and/or name the ones you are not confident on, just so we are clear.

Daily Sport Exclusive Gay confessions of a Premier league soccerballist and his fantasies about watching Christiano Ronadlo doing naked press ups in the shower.

Quite, even in my school back in the early 90's we need half a term long projects learning about Islam, Judaism and Buddism as well as christiany, Thomas Aqunius and so on. I found it fasinating. It's certainly in everyones interests that this be included in the curriculm.

It does though. It may not have a place in YOUR modern society and for most people of our age and peer group but for many people it does. Even things like wearing a burqa or a skull cap, if young children arent educated and made aware of these things it's going to lead them to be ignorant and potentially prejudice. We certainly wouldn't want that to happen and it's very much in the interests of multicuturalism and racial equality that children are educated about this to fully embrace the society we want to create.

why would any player want to leave Barcelona unless they had too? Great club, great league, great stadium in a fantastic city.

except our game in hand is away to Chelsea.......

They might be a better side man for man and have some decent players but they are out of form, low on confidence and struggling although they are hard to beat as they have draw 7, they just dont win many. the very least we should get is a point and there is no reason why we shouldn't beat them. Given our up turn on form then anything less than a win is a disapointing result.

I have no problem with the Reading DOF looking at players with their chairman.

RE teachers aren't biased priests. They are qualifed teachers and they have a responsbility to educate. I'm not particularly religious but i enjoed RE lessons at school and i found the projects we did on Islam and Judaism fansinating. As i said above, we live in multicultural society, if children are to understand and embrace it then the place to learn what their peers believe in is at school. How can you fully understand the holocaust if you have no idea what a Jew is or what they beleive in for example?

But you said on post 7 that "all religion should be exluced from schools" So are you saying that children should not be taught about the beliefs and systems of other cultures different to their own, just because religion isn't important to you it doesn't mean it isn't to a large section of the world. Dont people often trot out the mantra "all wars are down to religion"? If children dont learn about religion how can they learn about the world they live in? How can they learn to appreciate what muslims beleive for example or about Jews, how can they truely understand the holocust if they are never learn what a Jew is or what they believe in?

But dont you agree, it's a fantastic thing that our young people are taught by qualifed people of the belief systems they are surrounded by in this wonderful multicultural society we have become? It certainly helps them understand the way of life of different races and enables them to gain an insight into why other people live a different way of life to the one they have been brought up with. WHere else are they to learn about Islam, Judaism, Buddism, etc? Or would people prefer this is never discussed and our children grow up ignorant of different beliefs that they may encounter and therefore potentially leading to divsions and prejudice?

What has that got to do with anything?

Reading but not seeing clearly. Does it not concearn you that a player we build our defensive hopes around doesn't even know when we've played some of our matches and spends all his time watching other players in the shower? What about Adkins seeming acceptance that we are likely to concede against Reading? How about the paper telling us what the team will be? How arrogant can you get? The article is a disgrace and i am sending a strongly worded email to the editor.

As was established on another thread, a player is only worth what a club is prepared to pay, are you suggesting that NC and NA dont have a handle on correct market values?

Religion isn't based on FACTS though, it's based on belief and principles. Dont you think in a multicultural society we live in it would be excellent for your young people to have an understanding of the beliefs and principles that guide some of their peers, such and Islam and Judaism?

He's not even a striker really is he, more like an attacking midfielder.

Why do people see this as a bad thing? I'd be more worried about a player who reacted well to being left out. It's a squad game these days and you need 20 odd good players to get you through a season. I'm sure any player would understand this, but I don't see how players not being pleased they aren't playing is a bad thing.

That is what we beleive in on here. However only in certain circumstances, for examples the calls on this thread for religion to be banned and no taught in schools. You can live and let live provided you aren't attached to a religion is seems.

Why?

Reading players take Saints fans 'going down' taunts too literally.

I certainly did. For th next home game I think as we now have two Japs we should have a round of applause on 3rd and 19th minute for their shirt numbers and also on the 41st minute to show them we forgive them for Pearl Harbour, particularly as December is the month it was in. I think they will really appreciate it.

Which he did again very well yesterday.

It's no coincidence that since Adkins and NC had 'the chat' things have been better.

But other than all that, he's pretty good, no?
