Serious pet peeve of mine is people referring to Man U as "United", especially Toon fans who should know better.

Another shite performance. Bring on Man U.

For some reason, I thought this game was on at 12:30 GMT. Did kickoff get postponed?

You've lost me. Are you a Beast, Smoggie, does CordonBleu mean Chicken Parmo, do you think NUFC vs. Smogs is actually a derby. Have I found you again? He's a Man U fan like.

Now, hang on just a moment. One of his foremost campaign promises was that he would improve America's relations with the Muslim world. He has utterly failed in that promise.

Why would an Italian sport daily know the fate of a French player heading to an English club? I mean, I realise they claim Parma and Milan had been in for him, but I don't see why Tutto Mercato would have the inside info on this. Nobody else but nufcblog is reporting it. My heart raced there for a moment but I'm back to thinking this is bollocks now.

Talkshite reckons it'll be the Mackems: http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/foo...-race-cleverley.

Useless lump Barton. "Our best player" etc etc, he's useless and always has been. Pretty terrible game. Wasn't really too wise making all three of our kits share only 3 colours, was it?

Canny, really? Or just better than the dross we have? And I'm not even sure about Zamora in that respect, he had a great season last year but before that was an absolute joke. Maybe I shouldn't have said I wouldn't take either Cole or Zamora, but I wouldn't pay a fee for either one.

Lov looked good enough in the PL. No world beater but good enough. I'd take Rodallega, definitely not Zamora or Cole. Doyle was a one-season wonder, I think.

I doubt Hicks and Gillette will be enthusiastic and the takeover bid will be long and protracted, leading to fallout that will ruin your league campaign. By the way, your club "deserves" nothing. You're up there with Chelsea for the most plastic support in England.

Has left the Cote d'Ivoire job. Where's the next stop on the Sven gravy train? Shame about him. Used to be a class manager but is blatantly in it for the payoffs now.

Haddaway and shite man man man, divvent ye knaa that Fat Mike'll sell oop to the Sheikh of East Waziristan and we'll bring in Rooney, Casillas, Fabregas and Terry? We'll walk the league like, no problem. [/sSN]

We got a Man U badge for this guy?

Why what's wrong with your eyes? nothing i stil dont want them to be skitted do i ? you look like a retarded fish. You are aware that picture is not of him? He's another of the Everton brigade that have invaded lately.

God, that was an awful kit. Ronnie for me.

true, but we dont want to be going back there, and being wrongly labelled a small club just because were in the championship. we get higher attendances down their than the likes of everton and villa anyway. go away you scrote what? If you're a NUFC fan I'm Joseph Yobo. Nice to hoof..I mean meet you, Mr Yobo. Good to meet you too, you red shite. Up the toffees. Can't wait for Torres to go to Citeh. He'd come to us if we had any money, bigger club and all. Maybe I can get a few Nigerian businessmen together, take Everton over, and buy him. Chairman Joseph Yobo, has a good ring to it, no? Now please just give me a few hundred thousand quid while my compatriots fill out the paperwork and we will wire you your ancestral fortune within a fortnight.

What is this shit? Did I miss when we announced we were taking in strays from smaller clubs?

Blue mackems, red dippers, oh my. We've got a veritable menagerie on this board now. OP is a mackem as well. But obviously we're such a small club that fans of other clubs have to come on our board constantly to tell us so.

Only goal, they should say. How like him that his only goal's in a match that doesn't count.

"What senses do we lack that we cannot perceive another world all around us?" Is there a standard answer to that as well? Questions with no answer, I realise that. I just don't agree with the implication from HF that no rational and intelligent person can believe in God. Many of the world's most foremost scientists have been believers, for example, and their religious beliefs didn't impact their discoveries.

"What senses do we lack that we cannot perceive another world all around us?"

It's that God watches the universe and his creations and at times intervenes, and that we can't know his will, on account of him being ineffable, etc. Impossible to argue that as it's just about belief.

I've read a few articles from British science teachers saying that they face increasing hostility from Muslim kids when evolution is raised - one of the disadvantages of the more fundamental Islam we seem to be engendering in the UK (probably as a result of immigration from Pakistan) is that on this issue it seems less enlightened than more mainstream versions. I also think there's a "bloody-mindedness" at work where some Muslims are deliberately embracing tenets which they know will annoy western liberals the most. Of course the fact that a lot of Muslim schools are being funded by Saudi Wahabbists doesn't help as they tend to be as much towards the fuck-witted end of the scale as US evangelical creationists. I have often said you can trace many of the negatives about Islamic society today back to Saudi Arabia and specifically to the Wahabis, who are absolute psychos and who are a danger to Muslims and non-Muslims worldwide. They've been a strong influence in Pakistan since the 70s and the rule of Zia-ul-Haq and their particular brand of Islamism is gaining popularity even in relatively secular states such as Egypt. I really struggle to support war or violence of any kind, but if there ever was a regime that needed changing it would be the House of Saud.
