I'm surprised 3 is so popular. We can be proud of our history but considering 8 of our trophy's were won before 1900 it could be considered a little sad IMO.

2, 1, 3, 4 in that order. 3 is a bit tacky imo and as was said 4 looks like a narnia promo.

Player power. What if a caucus of "influential" players - let's say Terry, Gerrard, Rooney and the Coles - ALL had a bit of a player revolt? Do you think he'd drop the lot? And if he did, and then lost a critical game, the English press would lynch him. This one could get interesting. He could do such a thing and if the press lynch him and he gets sacked then he won't give a **** because he will believe he was doing the right thing for the team. But anyway international management is a lot different from club level as you can't control your players in the usual way. If any player appears in the papers for acting an idiot around town or anything like that he won't pick them.

John Terry could because Capello might take the captaincy from him. That would be funny.

Will we ever develop like Star Trek? Warp speed and that? It seems pretty impossible right now but you never know. I'd like to be around to see it if it happens. Contact with aliens with change the entire political landscape of the earth.

I am using the assumption that some people have used by saying given there are billions of stars/solar systems by probability there are a fair few similar to our own with a planet similar to our own, at the right distance from their 'sun' composed of the right materials to sustain life, and also be of a gravitational pull able to sustain an atmopshere and hence life. If there are indeed thousands of these - which you now use the laws of probablity to base this assumption on, you would also think that these life sustaining environments are at different stages of development. Given the age of the universe, some might have been extinct, some less advanced than us, and some more advanced. The other assumption is they believe like us, that there is life out there, and have attempted to make contact - yet there is no sig of this contact. In fact, correct me if I am wrong, I don't think atronomers have found a planet like earth in the universe yet - at the right position to be able to sustain life. What is unique about Earth is not only it's position from the sun, but it's size (and hence its gravitational pull) and its composition. While it is not unfeasible that similar planets could exist, I think it is highly improbable You think the chances of an earth like planet surrounding seventy sextillion stars is improbable? Isn't it the very opposite?

Not true - they have a probe that is in the process of leaving our solar system and travlled in close proximity to Uranus and Pluto (which is no longer a planet incidentally). Ok, on the basis of the assumption that there are billions of stars/solar systems like ours capable of sustaining life - presumably at different stages of 'civilastion', why has no contact been made by them? Not a single radio signal. No visits in stellar space craft. Only anecdotal rumours about crashes in 'Area 51' kept under close tabs by the US government. Our solar system is a blip in the universe. Uranus and pluto are very inhospitable. Life would 'probably' only survive on an earth life planet. And you ask why there is no stellar space craft? Maybe they're like us and don't have such things. You need to travel at phenomenal (impossible?) speed to get anywhere even beyond our solar system.

Yes but we have 'only' got as far Mars. Thats like dismissing it because 1 try in a trillion didn't find anything.

Well if mass becomes infinite than the energy required becomes infinite too. Which would be impossible I would think. This isn't an argument I am capable of having though as I'd just embarrass myself.

And will we ever develop to the star trek level of space exploration? Physics says that we can not travel faster than the speed of light so it may never happen. We're stuck here forever. :-(

Well intelligent life like us I mean. Maybe not our form like star trek might say i.e. humanoid. They could look like anything really.

On a pretty wide tangent from the creationist thread I thought I would create this. I would say there just has to be. But unless they're hiding behind the moon or there is some monumental advancement in technology we will never meet them. Although communication is not out of the question. Maybe.

Unfortunately crazy like rocket polishers. Booing the American anthem has shamed us. It's embarrassing and I'm not even English.

Capello would be perfect but knowing they FA they'll try to play it safe with some Yes man tosser like Shearer. Capello generates controversy wherever he goes and doesn't care about upsetting people. But he still gets results no matter what. If he was appointed I guarantee there would be some big names not playing or left out altogether (at least until they did things the way they're told). I think the FA would be too afraid to appoint him.

It can't send MMS. :? Which is kinda silly.

It's beautiful but I've heard that's it's best feature. And you get raped for the price and tariff.

This won't end well.

Robinson :? Lennon,Dawson,Huddlestone. Spurs took a risk on these players and it paid off. They weren't beating off the competition with a stick at the time. Rozenthal. Who? We have exciting youg players too in Young, Gabby and Maloney. The grass isn't always greener.

I dont remember West Am ever being favourites tbh anyway, its so frustrating how Spurs get all the blumin wonderkids and exciting players! Such an awesome player would make their mediocre center midfield awesome whilst at the same time stretching away from us...ffs! Obviously anything could happen your correct LM, but this is not Young, Sneijder has 1 international team mate at Villa and for all we know he might not even like him. Whilst Spurs have London a dutch manager and europe, bugger! Have faith little one. You read one article and you act like he's already joined them. And what wonderkids are you talking about?

I voted Liverpool but I think the Thai coming in at City could go a bit mental. Just a feeling I get.

Finnan was the best RB in the league last year. Why would he leave and why would they let him leave for £2 million?

Not an impressive list! Well I think the Celtic fans will argue over that. Some very successful signings there.

I think he'll be the same as Eto'o. Join a top team and he'll truly shine IMO.

Assuming they both sign - you're on. £10, proceeds to VT Deal! When Torres joins a top team he'll be catapulted into the top 5 strikers in the world. I believe you will lose that bet.

I see Distin has left City. I imagine if he signs for Pompey it's because we didn't want him. Or is that arrogant?
