His regular first-team opportunities now limited, Gomes has been contemplating retirement for a while - but will not have to worry about what the future might hold.
"I am prepared," Gomes said. "I got a call-up from God to be a pastor, so maybe this can happen."
God wasn't on his side on this day

Fair play to him - Always a mental keeper, had a soft spot for that unpredictability.

If he came back here this season he would still be crying, albeit with laughter at how crap our forwards are in front of goal

Former Newcastle, Chelsea, QPR player Gavin peacock found the Lord too didn't he? Some people will inevitably think you have gone a bit crackers but provided you don't visit it it on anyone else then why not?

I was fairly ambivalent about religion until I went to a wedding in an Elim Church. Scared me away Iâm afraid. Too many people doing an Arnautovic sky point with inane smiles.

God wasn't on his side during the FA Cup final either. In fact He was on the side of the Muslims.

Charlie Adam wants to eat pasta after retiring. Perhaps he's a Pasterfarian? Pastafarian Prayer Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day, our garlic bread, âŚand forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, for thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. Râamen.

One is a belief one is like you say an illness. I'm not religious in the slightest and many huge problems in this world are caused by religion but you can't compare the two.

Adopted and raised by my parents in Stoke. My adopted dad lectured in Religious Studies and was in later life the pastor at Newcastle Baptist and before he died Stoke Baptist Church. My adopted mum was a deconess in the Baptist Church in Newcastle. I then went on the study religion as my higher education main subject. Then did my RMN and RGN in Stafford at St George's and the SGI. Went on to run acute admission, alcohol and drug treatment wards plus personality disorder units, as a Staff Nurse , Charge Nurse and Nursing officer. Worked with both the army and the air force with personal with mental health/substance misuse issues following combat. Been for the last 25 years running an alcohol and drug unit, with mental health admission too in Guernsey , CI. Also worked in Prisons and secure units also dealing with the above.

All religion is an advanced for of mental illness. My imaginary friend is better than yours has an awful lot to answer for GD Possibly. But a society where worth is based on wealth and an economy based on the exponential exploitation of finite resource is probably an even greater madness. Viewed through the prism of evidence based science religion is easily debunked. But when that same evidence based science points towards an apocolypse of biblical proportions we're a little more sceptical. Perhaps preferring to believe in a miracle of technology to keep our lights on and our bellies full. Yet when it becomes inevitable that the earth will come to resemble Ballard's Drowned World and we fight wars over food and clean water while we wait, then populations will be turning to God in droves as their last hope.

As I said I don't think the two can be compared with one being an illness and the other a bizarre belief.
