i reckon agbonlahor would walk into our team and if we were to sign him he'd probably transform it with his pace and movement playing off a big target man, just as bellamy did playing off shearer when he joined us. he'd probably get about the same number of goals too.

i have strong feelings about people who blow planes into buildings, yeah. i think the reaction of the people in new york is easier to understand than the decision by the muslim community in manhattan to commission a mosque to be built so close to ground zero. you'd think they'd have a bit of common sense. why not build one a little further uptown instead? At least Leazes has the intellectual honesty to say what he believes and defend it, this half arsed they should build it further away argument is even more offensive to me i don't agree with leazes. he's tarnishing all muslims with the same brush. i'm not. there are plenty of moderate average joe muslims out there. i don't get why they couldn't see that this move would open a can of worms. This Imam is a moderate who has long tried to reach out to other faiths http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archiv...been-one/61761/ 'Ground Zero' Imam: 'I Am a Jew, I Have Always Been One' In 2003, Imam Rauf was invited to speak at a memorial service for Daniel Pearl, the journalist murdered by Islamist terrorists in Pakistan. The service was held at B'nai Jeshurun, a prominent synagogue in Manhattan, and in the audience was Judea Pearl, Daniel Pearl's father. In his remarks, Rauf identified absolutely with Pearl, and identified himself absolutely with the ethical tradition of Judaism. "I am a Jew," he said. He wants to build this outreach centre to promote understanding and reconcilliation. People ar ealways asking for moderate Muslims to come forward - one has and look at the response As I said at least Leazes is honest i'm being honest too. the reference to sep 11 was an attempt to demonstrate that i have some compassion for the people in new york who are objecting to this. september 11 2001 isn't that long ago. i have nothing against the people behind the new mosque and despite their intentions, which look good enough, they should have predicted that this would turn out the way it has. they should have known better. america is a very conservative place by european standards. the reaction there has been overblown but very predictable.

He's nothing like Bellamy. Bellamy has always been a clever player whose movement and touch have been quality - whereas Agbonlahor has always looked like a sprinter turned into footballer, to me anyway. got to disagree with you there. when bellamy joined us he was very similar to agbonlahor is now. raw pace, poor finishing, poor final ball. obvioulsy he's streets ahead of him now.

Yeah cause it was the NY muslims who did that. well no, obviously not. but you would expect the moderate muslims there to realise that feelings are still a bit raw over what the extremists did. common sense tbh

Strong lungs on them Muslim fellas. not all muslim fellas. only the ones that want to destroy the western world and its values.

Are liberals crazy for supporting Islam? Does it make sense to support those who hate everything about you? Are liberals crazy when they support Islam even though it often condemns liberty? The basic liberties enjoyed in the USA are illegal in many predominately Muslim countries. The FACTS speak for themselves that many Islamic nations are fiercely anti-freedom in many respects: Women are oppressed and abused, and left with little legal recourse. Homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death (so forget about gay marriage). No alcohol or drugs allowed (so forget about legalizing marijuana). Sexual freedom and casual sex are considered to be an abomination. Adultery and cheating are punishable by public stoning. Rape victims (not the rapists) can be punished or even sentenced to death. Freedom of the press is null, journalists can be imprisoned on a whim. Freedom of speech is null, step out of line and it can mean your ass (so that means no SodaHead for you). Pre-teen girls can be married off to older men against their will. Foreigners and minorities are marginalized (by Saudi law you cannot even enter the city of Mecca unless you can prove that you are Muslim). Quote from Wafa Sultan, a Syrian-born human rights activist: “As an Arab woman who suffered for three decades living under Islamic Sharia, it is clear to me that Islam’s political ideology and Sharia must be fought relentlessly by Western civilization to prevent its application in a free society.” http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/are-...-800241/?page=5

i agree; it is ironic the way the islamofacists have so many allies in liberal western society. if i was a new yorker, i'd have strong feelings about a mosque being built so close to the site of the world's biggest ever terrorist atrocity. clearly they're not all terrorists. but shouldn't moderate muslims be a bit more clued up as to the reaction this move would surely trigger?

insensitive ? It's a fucking disgrace. It's not at the actual site though. it's close enough to cause mass hysteria.

i'm going to play devil's advocate. let's forget the media hype regarding this story for a minute. isn't the idea of a mosque being built there a teeny tiny bit insensitive? just seems to be fanning the flames for exactly this kind of over-reaction in the right wing american media.

the two together would be a decent pairing. agbon reminds me of bellamy when he signed for us. raw pace to burn but finishing a bit wayward.

i blame the jews

do you mean to speak in riddles? can't understand a word you're trying to say. are you on pcp or something?

i love that feeling. might only happen once or twice a season it's like storing a nice memory in the wank bank

have we ever had a thread this long on a transfer target that we haven't signed?

aye, i enjoyed that. one of the mrs gloom's rare good picks. i was expecting the usual romcom drivel that she loves but was pleasantly surprised.

makes clerks seem a lifetime ago doesn't it? how did he get so shit?

can you try that again in english please?

get him signed already for the love of christ

I've got no idea where the respect for Villa down south comes from, small club, shit fans, very average team indeed. they've been top half the last few years since o'neill took over haven't they? i don't think too many saw yesterday's result coming like.

hopefully this is a sign of things to come from barton. he's been total crap for three years he's been with us; he owes us a couple of good seasons.

it's bad, but not quite as bad as the old sunday night show matt smith used to present when itv had the rights

he's losing out on a few thousand extra bums on seats though. what a muppet.

There's no cash turnstiles on level 7. for the rest of the season? are there any pay on the gate options now? yes and no. Encourages too many part timers to give it a miss if it's raining. and encourages plenty of part timers not to turn up at all. what kind of businessman is ashley? it's like he's tryign to discourage people from coming to the match
