Yeah, defo the refs fault for Reading throwing away a 4-0 lead.

Also, who's going 'bonkers' about his jacket? Anyone?

Managed to complete the countries of the world quiz after about six attempts tonight. Kept slipping up on the likes of Palau, Sierra Leone, Burundi, El Salvador and Burma. Managed to do it, finally.

Yes, and some secularists will do more than Christians. The ability to decent things isn't defined by how you affiliate yourself religiously. Whilst I'm very aware that not all Muslims are West-hating terrorists, and that not all Christians really believe the Earth is only 6,000-years-old, I'd ask that you not band all secularists in the same pot of arrogant liberals who think they're better than everyone.

You've completely missed the point I've been trying to make. I liked how you implicitly accused me of bunching all Christians together before then doing that exact thing with non-believers.

One thing I can't fucking stand is how some - and there's extreme emphasis on the word some - people who are religious believe you have to be religious to have any sort of moral code. How can you sit there, straight-faced, and talk up Christians doing good by the disadvantaged whilst accusing secularists of doing nothing to help? If we're going down this route, I'd even argue the point that it's more noble for an atheist to do something to help others than it is for Christians, seeing as an atheist doesn't do any good whilst fearing the wrath of God and spending eternity in Hell if they don't. That doesn't apply to all Christians but there's definitely that element to it.

I get that, but I find it odd that some people truly believe that God helped them complete pretty menial tasks throughout their day, yet did nothing to intervene to stop millions of people dying of easily curable diseases (as an example). I find it difficult to comprehend how so many people believe this shit.

Matthew 6:5-6: "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men....when thou prayest, enter into thy closet and when thou has shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret...."

Hazard got 3 assists yesterday ffs

9 for the season in the league alone.

I see no issues with the quote regarding to mediums and fortune tellers.

Nah, I'm fairly sure Brendan Rodgers is in a much better position to talk about the dynamics of a football team than Alan Shearer. Just because he hasn't won a lot it doesn't mean his footballing ideas are worthless. Besides, despite comparatively little success he's achieved and learnt far more about coaching than Shearer ever will.

Rodgers is perfectly entitled to defend Allen from Shearer's old fashioned, ill-informed opinions. And as far as I'm aware Rodgers hasn't been 'mouthing off' about his philosophy being better than others, he's just got conviction in what he wants from his team - and that's absolutely fine. And he clearly does know quite a bit about football, and the only reason people are criticising him for it is because most other managers don't like to talk about tactics and style of play as much as him. Most others prefer to talk about trivial things like referees and if players are upset.

"I saw someone recently criticising Joe Allen for not playing risk passes. Unbelievable. So-called pundits who don't know the dynamics of a team and how it functions, Joe's role is to keep the ball and that, in Britain, is a special talent.
