  1. Even if the Sky money disappeared we''d still not have a level playing field, the likes of Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, Tottenham, Villa, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland, Chelsea, (Leeds ugh) should still dominate because they have the bigger grounds and will generate more revenue.

    But at least the revenue disparity would be manageable and teams like City, Cardiff, Derby, Forest, West Ham, Ipswich, M''Boro, Sheff Utd, Wolves, Watford could give it a real go and know that they weren''t going to go bankrupt trying to join the top league, and ditto down the football pyramid....

  2. "don''t post garbage on here in an attempt to argue fact with someone who is proably more educated than half your inbred state put together !!"

    Hey, I resemble that remark!

    Yes a majority of Texans voted for W, but for the record it isn''t the Texans complaining about Mexicans

    immigrants - legal or otherwise - it''s a state to the left of us...


  3. Especially as the forum has been configured to not allow duplicate posts ... sometimes you can''t even fix a typo you know you made...

    Like

    " At least one other bulletin board I know of adds the text "last edited at ( time ) on ( date )" so you know the original post was altered."

    Again it''s just daft that you can''t edit any typos you make..

  4. Or even ..

    To the point of "changing history".

    Once your text has been quoted in another post, you can edit your original words, but it won''t erase your original thought.

  5. So then you don''t have to do this - repost to fix.

  6. "Also i LOVE the whole religious intolerance.... HELLO America was founded by people leaving Europe to ESCAPE religious persecution so all he ideals founded by the original settlers has now been damned as America are now horribly anti Muslim"

    It''s (hopefully only) a phase the right wing is going through... it wasn''t always so. Whatever you think of "W" he understood religious inclusion....

    "Just days after the Twin Towers were destroyed in 2001, President George W. Bush set the tone that ought to govern U.S. attitudes in the New York mosque controversy today.

    While visiting the Islamic Center of Washington, he declared that "the face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. ... Islam is peace. These terrorists don''t represent peace. They represent evil and war."

    He went on to say that American Muslims "need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect."

    Why Bush won''t speak up now on behalf of the Muslim community center at the center of the New York controversy, I don''t know.

    But what he said then -- even as he was launching a war against the Taliban and al-Qaida -- ought to guide attitudes and policy today.

    Our war is with radical Islamists who use terror and preach violent jihad -- not with the religion of Islam"


  7. Re: Minutes silence.

    Please don''t. As much as the victims, and the families of the victims, of 9/11 deserve sympathy, support and respect; it''s time for this country (US) to move on.

    That seems to me to be especially true for the NY/NJ/CT region (where I lived post 9/11).

    Yes it was horrible and tragic, BUT we can honor the victims and America''s core values by rebuilding the site and stopping this anti-muslim "ground zero mosque" nonsense.

    And yes we need to nail the b*****ds that did this, but they did not come from Iraq, nor are they in Iran.
