    I watched the game again and here are some observations:

    Green was fantastic. Spector was very good. Anton and Collins were superb. Konch was O.K. Good going forward. Mullins was off the pace all day. Just not good enough to take us to the next step. Bowyer played the best game I have seen him play since his Leeds days. He may well take over Mullins role. Interesting that when Yossi came on it was Mullins who made way and Bowyer went into his role. Ethers was o.k. I always expect much more from such a skilled player. Reo was o.k. I know he scored the big goal however there must still be a question mark over his skill level. Harewood was as good as any centre forward in the league. Bobby Z. tried his heart out however he just does not have the skill to maintain his place in this team. Yossi and Teddy provided the missing guile.

    I knew I could rely on you to rise to the bait and issue the customary Latin lesson. I always knew how to play the teachers!!:D

    I knew the literal translation was 'think therefore is' so a bit of 2 + 2 gives me the basic idea.

    However you seemed to switch from believe to think and back again. Perhaps your quote should read 'credo ergo sum' as this carries more meaning and alot more has been accomplished through belief than basic thought. Basic thinking is a simple dream at best but belief gives a platform to go out and achieve.

    But as Blaine clearly exists then he should have no problem believing in his own existence. I didn't say that he ought to believe what he is, just simply that he is. What he is has already been established and voted upon by other members of this board. Apparently he is God. :confused:

    So Blaine your vote remains 'Yes' like it or not. :D

    If he thinks he's God, there must be a dominum in there somewhere. You are just saying that he believes in himself. :cool:

    I am saying that others have appointed him God, he hasn't disagreed and he believes in himself. Therefore he must believe in God.

    He can't agree that he is God and then say that God doesn't exist.:cool:

    Cogito ergo sum works
    Credo ergo sum does not work, because belief is the lowest form of cognition, requiring no evidence.
    Cogitat ergo est, does not work because it it needs Credo to make it (il)logical. That was the joke: laugh when your ready
    Cogitat deus ergo est is just plain flattery
    Forgive me I'm just a bad mandolin player in the key of E:rolleyes:

    The phrase itself works and is widely used.

    ...but the highest form of divinity. Thinking is the lowest form of divinity.

    So I suppose it comes down to whether you want to be cognitive or divine.:rolleyes:

    You're gonna have to be if you're gonna be God.

    Otherwise we would have to sack you before the end of the season, pay off the rest of your contract and make sure the real reasons for your sacking never make it into the papers. Not to mention find another God before the transfer window reopens who will do a better job.
