Lighthouse

TBH I thought you were the one saying this was bad. This kind of thing would usually only come about in a 2008 type situation, when we've sold the experienced players and are trying to make do with the kids. If they're good enough, then great but this is a thread about selling Hojbjerg.

Sorry, not really been keeping up to date on this thread. Have we compared him to Eddie Hitler yet?

I doubt it. Covid 19 will probably just drive down prices across the board. We will most likely end up signing the same mediocre players as before, only we'll be paying £2-5m like we were 20 years ago.

Getting this thread back on topic... If you rape a duck, is that fresh water or salt?

So basically, you’re saying there was a small, localised flood and some people drowned. This is interpreted as being proof of the wrath of God almighty and not simply a freak weather event?

Beats me, I never said it.

If God designed the eye, why would he make it so that a large number of people can't see? Why give people made in his image an eye which is inadequate for reading his own scriptures?

This thread is both amazing and terrible at the same time.

Correct. It's not only believable but there is strong evidence behind it as well. In fact I believe is as much empty space, relatively speaking, in an atom as there is in our galaxy. Even the densest known elements in the periodic table are about 99.99999995% empty space.

I like how you’re actually debating the story of Noah’s Ark, as if it were in any way possible for an old man to round up a breeding pair of every animal (I think there are about half a million known beetles alone). Even the Christians I know don’t really believe that bit.

We don’t know. We just have very strong evidence, based on red shift and the Doppler effect, that it happened about 14 billion years ago.

There is very strong evidence for the Big Bang and absolutely none of a divine creator.

Just because people believe in them, doesn’t add any truth to them at all. If 4 billion people believed in Gavin, the giant orange space bat, it wouldn’t make it any more true. Churches and mosques are full because of fear and indoctrination, not because the people there have put any thought into their beliefs.

I’ve highlighted a few words that you could have considered omitting.

You can't hate something you don't believe in. You can hate religion but not a god.

Still haven't explained how Reed forced Fonte out of the club.

Religion is able to ignore all the basic, proven fundamentals of the laws of science and logic. I think they can manage to ignore your question too.

Yes, your point being?

I'd disagree there. We had plenty of experience in the likes of Virgil, Yoshida, Bertrand and Cedric after Fonte left. There is no magic formula he could have passed on, the players we recruited were simply not good enough. I think had he stayed and played, we'd have create another 04/05 situation with Lundekvam playing along side Davenport, Kenton and Higgy. Those players never looked like they were benefiting from Claus' experience. He looked past it and off the pace, the others just were never good enough. I've still yet to see one person explain how that's possible.

Hardly. He really wasn't great at West Ham and he'd never be playing like he does now in the Premier League aged 36. Much the same as when Tadic left, he'd never have scored 30 goals a season if he'd stayed. Because he was 33, which is too old to be playing every game. The League was our priority so he played that, whilst others got a run out in Europe.

Has anyone else had the new rectal swab test? Some guy knocked on the front door, said he was from the government. I should have the results in 2-3 days.

I still prefer Worms Armageddon personally.

According to who?

I’ve never liked cup replays anyway. Every couple of years you’ll get some League 2 high flyer earn a second go at Chelsea or Man Utd’s reserves but for the other hundred and whatever clubs they’re just a pain in the backside. Every cup tie should be 90 mins, then penalties. Extra time is a load of b*llocks too.

Seems relatively sensible to me. Restaurants are very high risk as anyone with the virus is likely to project aerosols onto other people’s food, just through normal breathing. This seems like a fairly good way to reduce that risk, much like a sneeze guard in any half decent canteen.
