Hmmmm, quick to say there's been no talk of a loan. There's a cynic in me that doubts this. He deserves a title, and the 'Pool fans tears would be hilarious. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30721008

I hope the entire community of who ever is responsible for this comes out and condemns it. http://rt.com/news/220819-attack-mosque-france-paris/

Haha I love Osvaldo. I just hate we forked out so much on him, and that we are going to be lumbered with him.

Is it really that surprising to some that the idea of being a criminal will impede your chances of getting a job?

I saw a report suggest earlier he'd be on about 1.5-2k p/w at Oldham. Not far off really!

Sorry CB, only just seen this post. I think what you say does make sense, and I think I largely agree. I'm still going to go ahead and mock the absurdity of it and point to the hypocrisies. As you say, changing attitudes would be a monumental task. It does appear to be an entirely different mindset, as Trump demonstrates.

Sweet jesus, how does one even get to this conclusion:

I like it, don't love it though. All I hear is a cross between Tom Petty & Springsteen.

I really like Pelle, but yeah, I'd start Dzeko ahead of him any day.

That website proves nothing. It in no way proves Islam is worse than any other religion or anything else. It in no way disproves my point, that blaming 1.6B people for the actions of less than 1% of that group and demanding an apology from all of them, repeatedly, whilst stigmatising them constantly is nonsense.

I'm going to give that website as much credence as the website run by Ched Evans pals pronouncing his innocence. Edit: That was a bit glib and unfair. The reason I say this is that the website you link to is simply a list of Terrorist acts in the name of Islam. There's absolutely no context here though. You can look at this and say, yes, that is a lot of awful things happening. But with no context of anything committed by anyone else, it is proof of nothing at all.

I know you are joking, but again, Evans was sober.

Right, and I said that wasn't the case where? I've said the face of terrorism - i.e. who is portrayed as the big evil who we all ought to fear.

1990's and prior Bomb threats and actual bombings in London, Manchester, Omagh amongst other places. Then terrorism = IRA. 9/11 - Terrorism = Islam. As Hypo says, it's about perception. This is massively shaped by the media. Funny, there was a terrorist attack in America yesterday, someone planted a bomb at a NAACP HQ in Colorado Springs. The police are searching for a 'balding white man'. Where's the coverage? This is a white man, attacking an organisation for black people. I mean, white people have never done anything bad to black people right? No murders there, no history of oppression, no entire back catalogue of atrocities. Ok, again as you are so absolutely sure of this, you can provide something to support your claim? Right? Simply declaring me 'mental' for not agreeing that Islam is worse than everything else ever isn't really a convincing argument.

As there are over 6 Billion humans why don't we as a species gang up and...

I assume you are able to support that claim? It's only the last 10 years or so (basically post-9/11) that Islam = Terrorism*. *As portrayed by the media. Again, prior to that it was the IRA, who were...Catholic.

Yes, blaming an entire religion of over 1.6B people for the acts of less that 0.1%. If 1 Saints fan went and stabbed a Pompey fan in the street - would it be a natural reaction to blame and attack every single Saints fan? That's mighty big of you, to tolerate people of other religions. Plenty do. Trouble is, it s hard for them to be heard. Whenever the media wants a quote from a Muslim voice they will roll out Anjem Choudary, because he is a guaranteed sound bite, makes headlines and is more interesting than any reasonable person that will absolutely condemn such atrocious acts. As Pap says, did you feel the need to apologise on behalf of Anders Breivik? Do you feel the need to apologise for the awful intimidation of 'Christian Patrols' who roam around Muslims areas in large groups, dressed in Paramilitary style outfits and barging into Mosques to start fights? All this on top of being painted the global boogie man, by governments, the media and countless ignorant idiots the world over - constantly 'randomly chosen' for extra security screening, funny looks on public transport for over a decade? Do all Christians need to apologise for the Catholic IRA? Do all Christians need to apologise on behalf of this Mother that killed her child by stuffing pages of the bible down it's throat? Oh and of course, do all Christians need to apologise and condemn the KKK?

Indeed, can see this getting ugly. Well uglier, obviously this is an awful act of violence.

Haha. I've been awful with GTA. Bought on release day then barely touched it for a year. Should get it finished, but Last of Us is just too engrossing.

While his mates tried to film you through the window. Oh and then hounded and harassed you, and broke your anonymity, and forced you to change your identity several times.

Just spotted this on Twitter. Seemed relevant, obviously pinch of salt required Secret Footballer ‏@TSF 49s49 seconds ago I've been told that Morgan Schneiderlin will sign for Arsenal, but not until the summer transfer window. #AFC

Interesting, ta. Not sure if I'll bother tbh. Still havn't finished the 360 version. Been distracted with LBP3 & Last of Us since I got the PS4. Really liking both of those.

And cue the Islamophobes going into overdrive.

Right, thought so. As expected, this then, is irrelevant. Much like the threesome comment.

I was under the impression Evans was sober? Is anyone else able to clear this up?
