  1. Carvalho was lucky not to be sent off in the first half as well. Real Madrid what a bunch of fucking whiners.
  2. was a student in newcastle for a few months back in 2006 had some never-speak-about-again nights on this bastard
  3. It's going to generate 107m for the economy. not a bad return on 25m. in fact. it's about the best return on tax money one could ask for.
  4. True in part, but the likes of Alfonso Alves certainly didn't go to a big club. Am sure there are plenty of other examples too. So yes the right club matters beyond doubt, but can't be blamed for all the players with good reputations that come here an fail. Am not saying he'll be a failure either, but that no-one can porclaim him to be anything yet (in this league) as he needs to prove it on the pitch first. Thierry Henry was a failure in Italy, so was Dennis Bergkamp, so was Kanu. Does that make the Premiership worse than Serie A then?
  5. yeah but Scheva had a devastating leg injury in 2005/2006, and was then rushed back for the world cup, which meant he lost half his pace. I don't think anyone would question that he was, for two or three years, one of the best strikers in the world, along with Henry.
  6. I can understand people with a genuine interest like yourself, but there is also a very broad range of educated people who somehow still seem to know all these facts about the big wide world. it's reading that's it if you read vociferously then you'll learn a huge amount. just look at the students on University Challenge.
  7. seriously. one ok debut album. shit sophomore. and the whole of the UK press jizzes when a rumour surfaces they're going to return. shows how content this country is mediocrity.
  8. the most overrated british band of all time?
  9. because us progressive enlightened atheist have lost our "we don't have a dogma" or "we're not dogmatic" argument. Not sure i get you. I believe a cancer drug works on the basis of a clinical study. Its not 100% proof but the odds are good, however it remains a belief. As that belief works along the same fundamental scientific principles as more than likely used by 'progressive enlightened atheists', then i presume your calling that belief dogma? All scientific experimental discovery is belief in an assumption (hypothesis) that you try to falsify (controlled experiments). If your definition of dogma incorporates that and religious belief then its too broad to be meaningful, isnt it? a lot of the terms banded around in religion debates are too broad to be meaningful but it doesn't stop people using them unfortunately. and i'm calling writing a Humanist bible dogmatic, as it means that there is a text, although not completely accepted, that is authoritative on the subject of the way to conduct one's life. you read the spiel? it pretty much describes the book as thus. if the author says that's t Have you read the book before coming to this conclusion about it? Grayling on the book: "The Good Book mirrors the Bible in both form and language, and is, as its author says, “ambitious and hubristic—a distillation of the best that has been thought and said by people who’ve really experienced life, and thought about it.” Drawing on classical secular texts from east and west, Grayling has “done just what the Bible makers did with the sacred texts,” reworking them into a “great treasury of insight and consolation and inspiration and uplift and understanding in the great non-religious traditions of the world.” He has been working on his opus for several decades, and the result is an extravagantly erudite manifesto for rational thought."

  13. Hitler was an atheist. Just goes to prove, religion is good. Oh no he wasn't! Stalin was though, but he never murdered in the name of atheism. but Marxism is an atheistic political system. so if he murdered in the name of Marxism, he murdered in the name of atheism. Atheism is simply not believing in any specific God. Who kills in the name of not believing in God? He killed because others did believe. That's killing in the name of atheism.

  15. Wilshere seems to have completely forgotten that there was a stone wall Barcelona pen not given in the first half
  16. '94 against Palace at home we won 3-2 Ruel Fox scored i think
  17. i remember in 2002 he was set to be one of the greatest strikers ever he had one season for Inter where he was completely unstoppable. he had it all: rifle left foot, insane strength, serious pace, aggression, amazing feet, awesome in the air, could smash a free-kick in shearer style I remember Mourinho saying 'Adriano is the future of football' shows what happens when you stop taking your job 100% seriously
  18. weaseled a guestlist +1 for this
