  1. The flipside to that is that it creates extreme ideology, insular societies and distrust between different religious groups and in some cases encourages violence (and lets be honest that is the case of both Christianity and Islam) There is no right or wrong answer, I am deeply Athiest, does that mean I am going to chastise people for believing in something that is so very unlikely ? No, everyone is entitled to their beliefs rightly or wrongly. The truth of the matter is there is a black and white in everything. For all the good religion brings there is bad. Religious extremism isnt anything new, and as barbaric as the shootings are it probably isnt anywhere near as barbaric as history suggests. Clamping down on islam isnt the answer, as others have said before there was no clamping down on christianity due to the rise of neo-nazism or the breivik incident. Tolerence needs to be applied on both sides.
  2. We could buy someone very good in a position we actually need for that money
  3. It was all going well untill you mentioned Hermandez in the hole....
  4. Even Jovetic on his day can be a great player but yes, saying Dzeko isnt a similar player to Pellè is odd. But then SRL is the only target man in europe ?!?
  5. Exactly
  6. As good as Matic is, and he is better than Morgan you pay a premium for Prem players. I think its more like 30m personally
  7. Ive commented that just maybe a deal could be done if Bony went to City. If he played for us for 6 months im sure he could do damage to Citys rivals, highly unlikely but not out of the realms of possible. Permanent ? No chance at all
  8. True but I thought exactly the same, should bony go there then the obvious two in frane for the chop are jovetic or dzeko, both I think would be excellent for us if available and possibly City would like to get them to someone like us to help harm other teams
  9. Dzeko on loan then
  10. Choices choices I suppose. Personally I wouldnt want to go out with someone 30 years my senior but there you go
  11. I dont know, whether it was to 'keep' the players signed or otherwise, either way it sounds reasonably serious
  12. A lot of those contracts were not legally binding, in fact we hired a full time solicitor to look through them all for a good 6 months apparantly, the source of that info is reasonably reliable but it was 2nd hand.
  13. I wouldnt be so sure, there were some massive percentage wage rises included in contracts which came into effect sooner than the club expected which apparantly caused us issues getting rid of some of our league 1 deadwood that didnt want to go. I fully expect Gaston and certainly Osvaldo to be arpund tobys wage level. This isnt the championship, we wont be paying 40k to our top players, fonte will be on around 50-60k pretty easily id of said. Like Steve says, if our genuine ambition is top 6 then 75k a week shouldnt be something we would baulk at IMO. As without players at that level we wont stay there.
  14. Id of said a fitting way would be to run yourself over ? Or alternatively go vigilante on those mason mother****ers
  15. This
  16. Ahh no thats not it clarkey, boy gets plenty of unfair criticism
  17. Lallana and schneiderlin, hoovield, maya, fox, davis, boruc, forster, guly, manè The list continues, JWP has somehow got a bit of stick of some people after arsenal. The problem is we have some kneejerk thickos that dont seem to understand football
  18. Or in the same game Pellè ? Who is actually a striker
  19. Pirate bay can be accessed through a proxy very easily
  20. Thanks goats Pretty ironic
  21. Made me lol that did. His 'examples' were when liverpool were in possession and the defence was under no pressure.
  22. You only have to look at Lampard, Scholes and Gerrard. Any half decent england manager should have done ok with any one of those three in reality. What happened was a sad pressganging of three AM into a side that couldnt support them. And so, a golden generation of england midfielders was wasted
