New York Cosmos are making the trip to Manchester on August 5th for Paul Scholes’ testimonial.
Eric Cantona is their director of football at the American club but will be coaching the side for the game.
“I wish to congratulate Paul for such an incredible career at Manchester United,” said Cantona. “I am looking forward to returning to Old Trafford in my new role with the New York Cosmos.”
Scholes has paid tribute to the club, fans and manager ahead of the testimonial.
“This is going to be a big night for me and my family but one which I intend to enjoy and I will savour every moment,” said Scholes. “I have spent my whole footballing life at Manchester United, so this will be an emotional farewell. This club is special in many ways but the fans are the best and I have always appreciated their support throughout my career. I hope they enjoy the night, especially seeing the Boss and Eric battling it out in front of the dug-outs.”
Scholes will be grateful of getting to share the attention with someone else, with plenty of fans eager to show their appreciation towards Cantona.

Return of the King!
On a side note, why didn’t The King play in Neville’s testi ? I still miss Neville to this day. Gayish but I do..
Does anybody when will tickets be available for purchasing?
* Does anybody know
Thanks for everything Scholsey, have a great night. I’d love for Cantona to manage United one day, I can see him bitch-slapping the taste out of Dalglish’s mouth. That said, Fergie will see Dalglish off soon enough.
@cyril sneer
mate KING KENNY will be sacked in january
Brings to mind the last Lord of the Rings film.
Brilliant!
will the King play??
there will never be another footballer with such skill and such humility again. Players like scholes are the bedrock of a good league. Its only because of midfield warriors like him that allow “great” strikers and wingers to get such attention
p.s….it would be a diservice to the fans if scholes doesn’t get a yellow for a crunching tackle
Who will play for the cosmos? They are not an actual team yet.
can’t wait to see the king back!
OFF TOPIC: our move for Jones has apparantly hit a snag with the poultry factory asking for more than the £16 million bird seeds we agreed on. According to reports that clause only allowed us to speak to the Jones, not purchase him!

THIS IS IT HOW IT FEELS TO BE CITY
almost sold out
the ginger prince deserved the kings return.
the padawan and his jedi-master
All hail the King.
@Craig:
There will players invited from all over the world to play for them
I am hoping for Zidane,Xavi and Inesta!;)
According to the Daily Fail, Scholes has ‘committed himself to a coaching career at Old Trafford’. Brilliant if it’s true, he has so much to pass on to younger players and will be great having him around the club. Never know, he might even make a man out of Naseri
Lets hope the king plays for 5-10 minutes and shows the peasants how it’s done.
a deal is not done UNTIL its done FACT remember that guys u got the SHITY’S CHELSKI’S clownin around!!! oh and the ARSENAL……
Costas – He has to score a last chip into the top corner and make his most famous gesture
tickets already all sold on utd website…only a few available
Costas and Zelh
that would be the best 5 mins of the decade for me
Jesus, Scholes retiring still feels like a knife stuck in my guts.
Get Eric7 a shirt. Hope he plays. It’ll be weird not seeing scholes anymore, Giggs is the last and with his current state I wouldn’t be surprised if he to retired.
I don’t want nasri or modric .
It is often said – ‘Strikers win games, Defenders win championships’. The phrase cannot be closer to the truth for Manchester United and Sir Alex. The unrelenting Scot has built a number of great championship winning sides over the past 25 years during his tenure at Old Trafford. Here is a look back to some of the finest defenders to have played for United in the Premier League.

OHH AHH CANTONA!!! WELCOME BACK SIR!!!!
Just heard Jermoe Boateng has said he wants to leave City beceause he wants to play for a “big blub”
Could be another “This is how it feels…” in this. 
This is the REAL return of THE ONLY REAL KING.
Looking forward already!
Fergie PLEASE SIGN CANTONA!!
i hope he has still got the legs
2 hours and Scholesy’s testimonial is sold out?
Dayum…
If Zidane doesn’t jump at the opportunity to play, I’m gonna tell his barber to call him a fucking
asshole..
Has it really sold out? Fuck sake. Wanted to give him a send off.
Cyril – Yeah its true that mate , the club confirmed last week that Scholes will become a coach.
DKB07 – Massive club. Nice one. Its funny actually. Whenever Citeh players are interviewed these days they use the term “massive” a lot. They really do.
rewind – That rumour is nonsense . It was doing the rounds last night.
T he king is back.
The last two lines sums up the ginger prince. No airs or graces, just class. Oh ah Cantona!
welcome back king eric…………
OOOOOHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHH CANTONAAAAA!
Top man. Bit excentric, but in a good way…..
The red way !!!!!!!!!!
The Jones rumor seems BS. Surely Blackburn would make a statement, hoping some other club would trump United’s offer? Maybe some add ons, included. The main thing for me, he wants to join United.
Oh, apologies to DKB07
I agree with willierednut. There’s nothing to worry about with regards to Jones, Young or De Gea for that matter. It’s just tabloid hacks desperate to find some controversy where there is none. Fuck off.
Off topic:
Subject – The central midfield issue.
Just wanted to run this by you guys..
If we want a real tough bastard in midfield. A guy with decent passing and set piece skills and is not afraid to be hated by every other team, and is a real motivator on the pitch. If all of these are what most of us are keen on, then checkered past aside, why NOT take a serious look at Joey Barton. True he has been a colossal prick in the past, but he seems to have shaped up somewhat hasn’t he?
eric cantona is a disgrace, he lacks any morale standing due to his appearances in porno!! really makes giggs recent exploits appear tame. forget this stain on utd’s proud history!!!
if we’re going to have Joey Barton in our midfield. We might as well hang the white flags out now.
@RedLife – Barton is a player, no question about that. He’ll get us 15 goals next season.
@RedLife
We might hang ‘ Not convinced’ as well along with those flags.
Not convinced says:
eric cantona is a disgrace, he lacks any morale standing due to his appearances in porno!! really makes giggs recent exploits appear tame. forget this stain on utd’s proud history!!!
Is this one of those comedy posts or are you being serious?
Ignore the wum.
@ King Eric – thanks for confirming that, I must have missed the news last week. Really pleased that Scholes will still be around in the background, teaching all the kids how to kick lumps out of the opposition (and some football skills too)
@Robbinhood Savage
i guess some fans only care about on field success and short term glory, not the continued and long standing success that can be obtained with hard work and clean living(eg. scholes).
if we can rally round players of that calibre and not pornstars, then we may see the glazers bring about the usurping of barca’s european pedistil, and not just the domestic sub standard scouses!!!
The King was before my obsession with the BEPL and Man Utd started. I live in the US and only got the Fox Soccer Chanel in 2002. I love reading your thought on the Great ones. And Fox shows these old time games condensed in 30 min. I have seen many of those.
I did get to see Scholes genius in the last 8 years. Thanks Ginger Ninja.
Long live the King!
Fergie please sign more pornstars.
I don’t think there can be any excuse in people not attending this testimonial in full capacity. I know I will if I was in Manchester. All proceeds go the charity me thinks and Paul Scholes, who has been under-applauded his whole life, deserves the most fitting send off ever.
I want to see how the King and Sir Alex fare against each other. I would love to see them at each other’s throats fighting though I know that is never going to happen. Maybe they could put up a show as if they are bashing each other. Now that would be a sight to behold for a 1000 years.
This is match is on my birthday, I’m going to support Scholesy and see King Eric. I wish he was playing, even for a half with UTD that would be awesome!
I’m not convinced that not convinced is as convincing as he makes out to be which means that not convinced has no convincing at all on the point of being convinced.
It’s good to be back and flexing these brain cells
@Not convinced
ha ha ha your serious.
Are you ten, metally retarded or a bean flicker.?
I have no idea about this porno you talk about because of the thought of Cantonas wang slopping in and out of a beautiful big breasted SLUT is not something I yern to see. But hey who wouldnt shag the arse off a willing SLUT. Hell fuck I’d hang the cunt and on the cusp of death cut her down and fuck the SLUT as she drifts in and out of SLUTTY consiousness. Then I’d cover the SLUT in marmite and lick it off, then I’d piss on the SLUT.
Im not offending you am I.
Anyway back to the SLUT. I’d get my camcorder out and video her drinking my piss the piss guzzling SLUT. I’d then tell her to write down that all women are SLUTS and need to be degraded and then Id role it up and stuff it up her SLUTTY pussy. Where it should stay untill I decide to want to piss on the SLUT again.
You are wrong, I have morals, Im not that much of a pervert and I live cleanly. I get through bucket loads of dettol to disenfectant the piss from the SLUTFEST, so my house is no doubt cleaner than yours. Im not a glory hunter, unless you mean Gloreyhole hunter with my SLUT. But give me a good porno and a SLUT and I’ll gladly watch my SLUT watching United and to make you feel better I’ll invite Cantona and Giggs to play with my SLUT.
Goat – Lol.
@Cyril Sneer
“Pornography really does, unlike other addictions, biologically cause direct release of the most perfect addictive substance,” Satinover said. “That is, it causes masturbation, which causes release of the naturally occurring opioids. It does what heroin can’t do, in effect.”
so you see this so called “king eric” is nothing more than a cheap drug dealer with his porn empire corrupting the minds of our kids.
think of the children! WON’T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
@Willie, ROM must be the only R-rated football blog I know of.
In trying to convince the impossible not convinced assumes the probability that he can convince the un-convincible that he can allude to the convincing of the ultimate hero who we are convinced belongs to an aura of invincibility
Guess who’s back?
Hmm… time for an equation:
We all know that Cantona = Awesome = Victory
If Cantona = Pornstar we can then adjust our original equation to:
Pornstars = Awesome = Victory
Our solution is therefore:
Fergie needs to sign some world-class porn stars to guarantee victory.
@GoatinaUnitedShirt
“Im not a glory hunter, unless you mean Gloreyhole hunter”
laughing myself to bits
I’m going to OT on the 5th
I shall see De Gea Jones Nasri Young and Sneijder De Rossi Modric
Maybe if I’m lucky me and Costas will be able to see Heskey – finally
Clearly, bill bob is ‘not convinced’.
He is however a wum. A scared little cunt who would never tell his lies face to face.
I wonder where Scholes will play?
@supatrice – Happy birthday in advance!
@MG – welcome back!
@Not convinced
Someone please save the kids. Kids like adults can only defend themselves with knowledge. Ignorance is a sure way to be taken adavantage of and fucked by your catholic priest or the childs Uncle who is pissed off with living with his plastic mormon wife, who incidently wont partake in a good old SLUTTY pissfest. That hes dreamed about ever since college.
Of course your kids are no doubt very decent. Please mummy can I have a computer, it will help me with my homework. Because all of us realise that kids love doing their homework and would do anything to do it more efficiently and precisely. Grow up you church going twonk and if your fit get your tatties out, i want to piss on them.
The Goats on a roll!
Not convinced, aka, bill bob, is fucked!
Fred
Why thanks very much Fred
Porn is of course somewhat addictive we all know that and I want you to take care. Remember its offence to wack off to 3d emo midget porn and dressed and Wonderwoman with love beeds up your arse whilst driving. The lap top will attract too much attention from your driving so I recommend for safetys sake get a SLUT to sit beside you and hold the laptop so it doesnt slide under the peddles. And dont forget drivers, slow down for children.
@Goat…that is fucking hilarious!
@ King Eric…I thought it might have been bullshit, thanks for the heads up.
MG at 17:11
You just fucked up my mind mate, well done haha
@Goatina
you clearly are not religious, but that may change in time. god is ever patient.
I feel that if we can be a good wholesome club then perhaps god will raise utd up as a club.
i understand you lack morals of any sort, but i forgive you! and through love of god we can come together in love and harmony and smite that sinner cantona!!!!
ARE YOU WITH ME?!!

she raised me to stand up against moral decrepants such as you!!
@ smartalex
LOL
Gives new meaning to “ooh ahh Cantona”
will someone please give “not convinced” a fucking hiding, Cheers.
Manchuchu – Not such a bad call to be honest fella in Barton. A decent player to be fair and a a bit of a cunt . He really would wind the opposition and their fans up!
Why wasn’t jesus born in liverpool?
because they couldn’t find 3 wisemen and a virgin.
what strikes me is that when i speak out against pornography you all seem to assume im female.
it’s just disappointing to realise that a large percent of the clubs fanbase are sexist.
we must induce some form of fan vetting to weed out much of the scum that exists amongst the wheat!!
@Not convinced
Thank you for my forgiveness, I do sin and wish I didn’t. Often with pud in hand tugging to Thomas the Tank Engine and melting away to the dreamy tones of Ringos voice I think is it all worth it. I think long and hard about it, well about 5 minutes and then I shoot up the fucking wifes satin curtains that cost 400 quid. Do you know how much porn I could have got for 400 quid. I could have got Jizzfest 7 return of the rubbermaid. A little japanese love doll. A double handed horse cock vibrator with twis yank and pull function. A penis pump (not for me of course, i dont need it. GOD was very kind to me, just a fun way to uncork the wine). No doubt a blow up sheep for the nativity play. Its a handy place for junior to keep his beer cool.
But no, the fucking reverends coming round and she wants the living room to be a place to entertain. I tell you what entertaining is. Its bloody entertaining stuffing a horsecock into a big bowl of pop corn and sit jerking in the cinema to Eyes wide shut. Not sure if my eyes are wide shut, closed open or fucking blodshot with all the butter drenched tugging.
Anyway the priest loves coming round but he doesnt blow me any more like he did when i was a kid. I think its because he doesnt like the taste. Or its the fact that it makes because of my size his jaw ache like eating french nugget. We did laugh when he said that because I too like french nugget. Soft spoken black french girls from the congo, dirty sluts they are Id recommend. Who would do it missionary anyway.
Good to know God will forgive me, it means I can have an exciting and fun filled SLUTTY life without any fear of the after life. There wont be many virgins left over for the terrorists when i get up there i can tell you. lol
@not convinced – I don’t think you’re female, just a cunt!
@Not convinced
Im offended, calling me sexist. Im not sexist as long as the bloke combs his hair forward, puts a computer print out of Princess Leas face on the back of his head and says in a soft girls voice, take me daddy. Im all inclusive.
@redlife
i resent you slandering the name of our lord and saviour.
please take the piss out of the scousers in a more christian friendly manner, thanks in advance for your future consideration.
@Goatina
just further emphasising your misogynistic tendencies, did mummy not hug you!
@Fred
i like it when you talk dirty!!

Now for Not Convinced
Wether or not God exists who knows?
However, Religion is a bullshit excuse for people to confirm to a way or reasoning
Even God would be tremendously proud if the Human brain could actively seek reason and compassion through humanity and not be swayed through any religious doctrine
As for morals – well morals start with trying to know that no one person can be right – mistakes shall be made from which everyone learns – every good person has a dark side – and one cannot exist without the other – what any individual chooses to do is their business – how you come to be and act you life accordingly is up to you but it is hypocritical for anyone to suggest that they are mightier or cleaner or purer than the next person
It is and will always will be bullshit – religion in all forms is a destruction because if all those bastards believed in God and accepted He is the true power and voice no fucker on this planet would be trying to contradict God by waging pain agony Wars. Everyone would be seeking answers through the proposed wisdom of God
That is the lesson.
i love dirty talks
Not convinced – Fuck off you wanker

@MG
Morals are not indiction of mistakes, they are an attempt to do whats right in any give situation. someone with say good morals will always attempt to help others and do what they feel is beneficial.
to teach you on this point of war we must first understand that not all wars are motivated by religion(nazi’s, soviets etc.). Now to those that engage in war for the sake of God, these are not men of god as they merely use his name to further their own cause. it is their hubris that leads them to war. these men shall not enter the kingdom of heaven unless they truely repent. our life on earth is a test to determine if we are worthy to sit at god’s side, we have been burdened with natural sin(human weakness), and must overcome this to prove our love in God!!

Not convinced is turning me on over here with the thought of your breast and being nude. BUT before i go any further, can you please confirm that you’re not the typical nudist i’ve seen? the only nudists i’ve ever seen have been old wrinkles with bad BO.
Not convinced with what exactly?

@goatina

Fancy a fig roll.
@goat
to help someone else sin would not be good morally speaking, so i cannot help. while what you are implying is considered ‘helping’ it is not the moral choice, the moral choice in this instance would be to teach you where you are wrong. what you stated is akin to buying a junkie a fix merely to help him stop withdrawal, where the moral choice is to help him get off the drugs with love of god
Not Convinced rang me yesterday to ask why Jesus’ dick tastes of Osama’s poop.
Think about that one.
Is this a football blog or a fucking religious blog?

Hey Fred – how are you doing? Here’s an interesting Cantona quote.
“I feel close to the rebelliousness and vigour of the youth here. Perhaps time will separate us, but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music.”

LOLZ someone was looking for cantona porn and found that quote!! lolololol
I thought the information age was when they finally tell you why you’re here, on your way out.
Scott, being from Greece I am all for democracy, but lately we’ve had some real wums come here. Like willie said, a ban every now and then isn’t a bad thing.
@smartalex – Love that quote. He was so right.

doesn’t matter i went through 7 proxies.
What’s that? Kinda sounds like diarrhea coming out of someone’s mouth!
Fuck off ‘Not convinced’
It’s bad enough that you post crap every few seconds in a selfish attempt to ruin people’s Friday night, don’t try to interact with me too. Anywhere in the world you would be standing outside in the rain hoping in vain to be let in again.

As much as I like Gibbo, I think that move is for the best for him. The only way we will ever find out if he has the tools, is if he goes elsewhere and plays regular football.
Smartalex – Ignore that stain.
Costas – A good move for him, especially if Gibson gets to go in a group. I’d like to keep everyone! I’d probably still be picking Roy! That said, Sunderland supporters are smiling all the way to Europe within 2 years if all 3 mooted players go together to join what is already a strong group of players brought through the right way.
Wise willierednut.
What’s fuckin shame what should have been a good thread has been hijacked by a fuckin idiot. A thread about Scholes and Cantona should be respected. Trivial shit can wait
@Rai
Yes they should ban that idiot
How you doing Rai? Good I hope. Having Cantona back for Scholes’ testimonial is great!
Legends, both!
An idiot on a blog…
Smartalex – I’m very well mate hope you’re good. I was hoping that Cantona would be involved somehow when I heard about the testimonial but I thought it might be a long shot. The other two people I was hoping for were Keane or Zidane!!!
Scholes deserves the best what a fuckin player he’s been. Can’t speak highly enough of him.
Willie, Cedars, MG, King Eric, Kings & Costas (and all other true reds) hope you’re all keeping sane during this pre season bullshit we’re enduring!
willierednut that is an uncalled for attack on the author of this blog, and i will not stand for it!
Rai – Hello mate? Forget this stain. His cards marked.
Rai – I’m well, thank you. United could put put together a useful Old Boys side right now!
Hahaha I like it…just call it the “stain” it’s well suited!!
Did Somebody say Porn ?
Cedars, Balaji & the guys from the 1000+ comment thread:

I swear on Billy Bob’s Life it’s not Porn
sorry meant “stain” Fella
Whats soft porn? If your soft it’s not porn.

Your mama was insightful…
this wank stain you mention how may i contact this person, i am very intrigued by the name.. most unusual.
yes she was insightful.. but then she died, it’s quite sad really.
Not sad really.
Not making fun of Clint. Just a clit.
Not Convinced
“Morals are not indiction of mistakes, they are an attempt to do whats right in any give situation. someone with say good morals will always attempt to help others and do what they feel is beneficial.”
And so therefore I prove my point – morality should be based on a way of thinking and living that overrides religious belief since as humans we have both the capacity and ability to forward and enrich our lives with it – if one chooses to accept that their is a God then surely the notion of doing better for your neighbour no matter if they share the same belief as yours or not should determine your way of thinking – not a belief in a religion or a set of ideas and principles taught in worship or from Holy Books.
If you are saying that the human mind can reason or contemplate the need to do good based on ones morality then it can be done without spiritual context or belief – this is a clear distinction that one does not need religion or for that matter text or leadership to do good – if one chooses to go further and implement such other methods to achieve such goals then so be it – but then one should not lecture or teach the wisdom of spiritual belief to any one else since I have just shown to you that the human mind can on it’s own be a force for good and applied with clear distinction nothing is equal to it.
“to teach you on this point of war we must first understand that not all wars are motivated by religion(nazi’s, soviets etc.). Now to those that engage in war for the sake of God, these are not men of god as they merely use his name to further their own cause. it is their hubris that leads them to war. these men shall not enter the kingdom of heaven unless they truely repent. our life on earth is a test to determine if we are worthy to sit at god’s side, we have been burdened with natural sin(human weakness), and must overcome this to prove our love in God!!”
To take the first point – maybe or to put it another way it surely demonstrates that every side in war has it’s God to protect or God to protect them – the Nazi’s may not have used religion to further their message of Nazism but if you open up your books their is a lot you will find about Hitler and religion – and it’s complicated
Stalin is pretty forward he wanted to do the opposite – he wanted rid of religion and to a certain extent he managed that
But your point doesn’t hold that much water – religious persecution is far spread – religion against religion – religions against themselves – and politicians – senior politicians – are orchestrating and fundamentally driving the worlds thinking by allowing to take supposed problems with the word of God or consequently there God and preserve a certain status quo – something which has carried on through the ages.
Quick point of world war 2 The pope and the Vatican turned a blind eye to the plight of the Jews, again should the appointed man of God on earth deserve hell?
I think you disrespect a lot of people by the way you state or make your comment – you initially just assume that all these men who believe to be a part of God or have his calling will burn in hell – again are you saying that people like Blair and Bush were wrong to invade Iraq therefore they should burn in Hell? Are you saying Saddam Hussein was wrong to kill his people yet at the same time it was ok for the west to feed him the same arms that he used to kill his people? Because had Saddam not invaded Kuwait their is a clear argument that the west would have continued to give arms to Saddam and Saddam would have carried on killing – no? Therefore in the name of God so many things happen – one argues that one is right and the other wrong – sure? Does one go to hell or the other or both?
Also is it right therefore in your context that all leaders of Israel apart from Rabin deserve hell? Because by the grace of God all of them have completed great sins – but are their sins more than say horrific than Palestinians – again please clarify
It’s very easy to write and throw something out into the open world. Yet I bet Blair and Bush as examples would not warrant your thinking neither would those mad Islamist fools who follow their mad Islamist fools – so again where does this leave your point of view?
Taking your last point however you dishonour yourself – man can cause all the harm in the world cause death destruction untold pain and relentless hell on this earth yet you say he only has to repent to walk into the kingdom of God
Trust me when I say to you if logically and subsequently man believes that then you are a hypocrite because you’ve just contradicted yourself – you say people who do wrong in the name of God shall go to hell yet if they seek redemption by repent they are forgiven and free
Feel free to argue what cannot be argued – if a person can have the logical means to do wrong then turn to God he never had to be that wrong in the first place because all the time God was there – this nonsense that people see the light is the biggest bullshit that one will ever encounter
People find God when they have nothing else to find and it’s a cop out and it’s a disgrace and it makes my whole point the more stronger
The need to find light doesn’t begin with trying to find God – it starts with oneself – if one finds God along the way it is for oneself – but if one turns to God because he needs to find a way out then it means that in reality he never finds God – he just finds an excuse to carry on believing what he wants to believe but in a different way.
Repent is and will be the biggest con on this earth and I’ll fight to my dying day to believe that point of view
Human weakness is not a sin – it’s a test – for those that follow the path of humanity weakness can be overcome by hard work honesty and continuous belief that if you do good then good will keep you going.
It’s not as easy as you make it out to be. Redemption doesn’t begin with finding God – it begins when one chooses to walk the wrong path – this is a failure to appreciate oneself as a human being and the context that one is in wether that may be a positive situation or a negative one – it’s about making the choices that one cannot live with and therefore in context in one small way – it’s easier to find God to find the path again – don’t think so. Weakness and Sin should not make you find God – and so yes I have a problem with religion. A lot of people that talk religion up or have found religion don’t even deserve to see the gates of heaven let alone get in.
Schooled, MG style! Scalp that stain!
What MG said.
Nah. MG, too much time and space wasted for a pussy, mate.
I hope Cantona can pull some strings and get a few of the old school Cosmos players lined up for the match.
Could be impressive, even if they only last 5 minutes. Average age about 68 or summat!
Pele, Beckenbauer, Giorgio Chinaglia!
Still, imagine there will be a flippin free for all at the end of the match, everyone will want Scholes jersey!
Im back, da da da da- I see the trolls back. Goats no like trolls.

@MG
If you reread the point i made on morality, at no point do i mention not helping someone of opposite beliefs. in fact the bible shows numerous instances of jesus helping nonjews (samaritans etc). in fact christianity imposes that we be actively helpful, it is a necessity, now many christians may not adhere to this but that is their failings. if you take away religious dogma and many of the manmade rules, what we are left with is a belief in helping our fellow man, to give up ourselves and to help others. many in the modern world are not true christians as they follow typical selfish lifestyles of greed and covet. religion teaches us to put others before ourselves, to be selfless.. many examples of heroism are often self sacrifice, the saving of someone elses life at the expense of oneself. If we can see heroism here surely this is the same as say a true christian in the vain of st. patrick. therefore religion if adhered to correctly and not hypocritically is a heroic endeavour.
yes the human mind can reason but not all minds are equal, some can be more manipulative and twist a lesser minded person to their will, in this vein we need leadership for some, to give guidance to those who do not understand right from wrong. we must teach the perils of misdeeds, and how negative actions are often reciprocal. because of this religion offers a path to righteousness. now i appreciate that a man untouched by religion can still perform good, and i believe this person will in fact gain entrance to heaven, they may not be first in line but access will be granted. for me a persons actions dictate the love god will bestow not some hypocritical profession of belief followed by a failure to follow true christian ideals. it is living the life not just preaching it.
“to teach you on this point of war we must first understand that not all wars are motivated by religion(nazi’s, soviets etc.). Now to those that engage in war for the sake of God, these are not men of god as they merely use his name to further their own cause. it is their hubris that leads them to war. these men shall not enter the kingdom of heaven unless they truely repent. our life on earth is a test to determine if we are worthy to sit at god’s side, we have been burdened with natural sin(human weakness), and must overcome this to prove our love in God!!”
nazism may have had a distinct distaste for judaism, but in no way was their campaign fought for the glory of one religious side. simply there was incredible desire for power on the back of much hatred and manipulation.
stalin got rid of many aspects of religion, but again see a power hungry tyrant who inevitly led to failure of the ussr. communism is a great concept but requires perfect action and control with no room for greed, sadly something too many in this world are motivated by it.
again this argument talks about man himself manipulating the word of god, creating a straw man argument with their religion to further their own status and power. true christianity asks us to relinquish power, and with such a doctrine it is very for the greedy to attempt to manipulate this for personal gain.
failings of humans should be punished, if one of standing fails to adhere to the fundamentals of christianity then this should see them fail to enter heaven. to use the pope as some sort of anti religion argument holds no sway with me as we have seen many religious men who are not genuine merely power hungry(many popes have been responsible for great misdeeds, paedophilia of priests).
the blair-bush-hussein argument does really apply to religious ethics. i assume your argument is that bush/blair are religious men and they do evil, but as is i said previously it is action that dictate not merely belief. men who believe in god and do evil, shall not be saved. in fact theirs is a worse sin, much akin to that of the pharisees who sat on their perch and missed the true point of christianity and resented jesus for showing their fallacy.
Also is it right therefore in your context that all leaders of Israel apart from Rabin deserve hell? Because by the grace of God all of them have completed great sins – but are their sins more than say horrific than Palestinians – again please clarify
it leaves my point of view that if everyone followed the true fundamentals of christianity, we would have a much more peaceful world.
you do not grasp what it means to repent, a man cannot simply do as he pleases then turn around pull a BP and say “wer’re sawry”, it takes true regret, real and honest seeking of forgiveness. it takes deep soul searching. it is not the simple decision to say im done being bad now, heaven please! we see the ideal of repentance in modern day justice system in that we incarcerate those who do wrong and offer them the chance to be rehabilitated.
people find god in many ways, it is not always the desperate.. it is merely the case that we only look for something when we need it. if i were to offer you a slice of bread, but you had a full platter of food before you, it is likely you would decline. but take the homeless man hungry and desperate, offer him the bread and he will accept.
repent is the idea that we understand our misdeeds and undergo great pain guilt and suffering, we ask from the bottom of our very being for forgiveness, and if we are sincere then god will offer his hand.
“Human weakness is not a sin – it’s a test – for those that follow the path of humanity weakness can be overcome by hard work honesty and continuous belief that if you do good then good will keep you going.” This comment generally sums up much of religion, which states sacrificing yourself for the good of others.
“Weakness and Sin should not make you find God – and so yes I have a problem with religion.” these often lead to desperation which lead to soul searching and only when we search shall we find an outstretched arm.
“A lot of people that talk religion up or have found religion don’t even deserve to see the gates of heaven let alone get in.” I agree only the worthy shall. we must earn salvation through self sacrifice.

SCOTTY RE.NOT CONVINCED…THINK YOU NEED TO FIND THIS IDIOTS IP ADDRESS AND BAN THE FOOL
I agree with Tony Bee –
Scott – over the last two weeks a lot of your threads have just been a hobby for fuckin idiots to come on and post their shite. I don’t mind banter and I don’t mind an argument…I don’t mind other clubs’ fans coming on here for a good discussion…but when you get the same idiots coming on here for nothing but a laugh to wind people up you should fuck them off.
Not Convinced
Your full of shit – you’ve cut and pasted most of previous material and even then you haven’t even tried to fundamentally argue anything I’ve written
Religion doesn’t teach you to put other’s in front of yourself – again another misconception about religious belief – I nearly do that every day in my life especially in my workplace yet I do not do it because of the sake of religion – debunked.
Your point on Nazism is quite bewildering – I’ve made that point in my piece but have shown you how complicated the situation was – yet you are trying to take this example to prove your point that certain groups never used religion to further their means – again – this shows you are incompetent in understanding the point I make.
I never held the Pope as an argument – you haven’t answered the question – you are a coward for not doing so
Of course that doesn’t sway with you apparently – how pathetic
Blair Bush Hussein do not apply to religious ethics – what a fucking con you are – again being a coward not answering the question – all believed they were doing Gods works in Gods name – two of them adhered openly to religious doctrine in doing their work
You do not appreciate that people in Gods name do wrong those that have repented and have come to the light – you do not appreciate that your argument is flawed – you categorically say that once people have repented they are open to the gates of heaven – yet I am showing you that people do wrong or bad things even when they believe that they are on Gods side or that God is on their side – you carry on saying human weakness has to be transferred to repent for one to find himself – yet I am again showing it to you that this is not the case – I have not to make any more disclosure on this matter – you are fully aware of this point of view but ridicule my thought process.
I do understand what repent is – it is you who does not recognise what I have said – pouring scorn on everything I have mentioned – you call yourself a Christian – you don’t listen to nothing – you don’t reply to nothing just carry on babbling trying to make your point and not take any consideration of anything else – your post proves this.
Again my point is made more stronger when you say if the world only followed Christian values – like all religions you are clouded in this misjudgement and again you quite clearly say that it’s your way or no way for salvation – it’s bullshit and here your arrogance proves it without a shadow of a doubt – in my version all mankind through human values are together and walk as one – also by dismissing that one cannot have any weakness and negativity you illustrate your own shortcoming – and once more you contradict your point – every religious person needs to find a coming – a light – a way – to get to God – I have written to you that some do this through sheer belief – but most do this to find a way to make ends meet – you dismiss this motion – this is hypocritical then – because in another way you say that in any given circumstance you have to repent to find God – then which way is it and what is it?
Again by not answering my questions or conversing in any of the ideas you show lack of appreciation for you fellow human being who does not share your point of view – in trying to show you that if their is a God he has created this human mind to do good without the need for religious exposure – and by doing this once can rationally make a choice to do good or bad.
In replying to you I make the notion that I am not perfect and may never be – material goods do not drive my existence – in fact it is human endeavour – I do not accept religion because all of them believe that they are right – therefore in context by doing this you try to shutdown any reasoning or any thought process levelled at you – your belief that their is only one way is flawed – you belief that it can only be you and your sets of ideas and principles is flawed.
That’s why I commend you for your belief but at the same time as a human being I ridicule you for not having the God given capacity to try to understand a person who does not equate with you.
Talk about a fucking thread been ruined. I come on here to read about King Eric and Scholes not read about about beliefs and religion. Sort it out Scott lad.
King Eric and Rai – Spot on lads. What the fuck is this nonsense?
King Eric
I’m glad you said it because here is the end of all this
At United their is a genuine human relationship between all aspects of the club further enhanced by a tragedy that has built everything about the club.
It further reinforces my point that many of us who follow United do so because of a common way of thinking and belief that we are all the same no matter who and what we are.
And for Manchester United that is the greatest compliment of them all – no matter what our differences those of us who know – know that the greater sum of all our parts makes us one and makes us stronger than being mere individuals or groups.
Here end-ith the lesson.
If anyone wants to comment on Eric and Paul, they still can. The thread isn’t closed. Just ignore Bill Knob’s pile of shit. Jeez. Hopefully Scott will delete them and ban him too.
I’m really looking forward to Fergie’s interaction with Eric on the sidelines, as well as the interviews pre-and-post-match. They’re going to be a hoot!
Cantona as a coach is worth the entrance fee alone. Imagine when he disagrees with a decision! Chest out, arms out in despair! Anyone know what players they’ll be bringing over?
Rai, they don’t have players yet, so it will be a team of invited International players, according to Steve Bartram.
“Brazilian superstar Pele will also be in attendance in his role as Cosmos honorary president.”
