As CD said there's a huge amount of inconsistency which I failed to mention in my posts. But as I stated in my last post to Nick - footballers are valued far more by their employer than Joe Bloggs working on the Birmingham to London HS2 line due to the capital that said employer has invested...

This is what they're going to have to do. But as I mentioned previously - footballers have already been publicly breaching the current rules which are pretty relaxed in comparison to what they would have undergo once the season starts. How can you rely on every footballer and their respective...

Weren't those a different type of test? These are new antibody tests and show if a person has reportedly had the virus. I don't agree with Piers pushing scaremongering tactics so I understand your view on that. He's effectively reenacting the Daily Mail method by leading with the extreme which...

Okay, but that still proves my point - how from a safety perspective is that any different to putting 22 players on a pitch together if there is a risk that they won't get the testing right and social distancing isn't being adhered to?

Probably throwing in the towel a bit to early but I can kind of understand his reasoning behind that. Likely to be a low intake of iFollow subscriptions given their average-sized fanbase and he's probably accepted Wycombe will struggle to achieve promotion given their form since January where...

According to Prof John Newton he claims he's 'optimistic' that antibody tests will be readily available by the end of May/early June. Given that UEFA have apparently issued a deadline to the Premier League to send across plans for how they plan on starting the season by 25th May that really...

There are so many factors for both sides. Whether furlough will be extended, what kind of virtual footfall will clubs expect from iFollow, whether the owners can personally afford to bridge the losses and whether they've been personally affected by the current crisis, if there are agenda's (E.g...

Nick, with the greatest respect just because yourself and a few of your mates have returned to work, that doesn't mean millions have. Out of my personal / work network I only know of a handful that have returned to their actual work place and all of those are currently running at considerably...

That will certainly help. But there's already a growing fear that not enough kits will be available to clubs. Hardly fills you with confidence.

In theory yes, but that's far easier said than done. Realistically footballers would have to be treated in the same manner as society's vulnerables in order for you to guarantee their safety which means themselves, and their families may not be able to go out for food shops or even a walk due to...

It's unlikely that millions will go back to work anytime soon though and those that do will be forced to action serious social distancing in order to work safely. Something that cannot be replicated on a football pitch. Does he not watch the news - or maybe he's been drooling over Trump's press...

He genuinely has no idea.

Controversial but I wonder if some Premier League clubs will actually benefit financially from the lack of fans at games. Reminds me of this report that came out a few years ago. Premier League: 11 of 20 clubs could have made profits in 2016-17 without fans at games

Every club in the top 6 is going to be concerned about the same thing surely? Plus, momentum wasn't the only thing that was going for us.

Prem/Champ will go ahead. Unsure about League One - leaning towards it probably will be. Don't think League Two will finish.

I think that's the problem Dom, it was yet another speech. Granted it was an opportunity for Boris to show face after his absence but surely that time could've been better spent by convening with his cabinet where actual plans rather than promises of plans could've been put together to implement...

Yeah I don't really know why they aren't using it, as it's ideal for monitoring elderly patients going back into care homes or those vulnerable going back into their own homes. By doing this surely it would have prevented a load of deaths.

The Birmingham one hasn't had a single patient yet apparently. I think the mortuary was built to support funeral directors as they only have so much capacity in their own designated mortuaries. This was identified quickly by the government as a potential problem down the line as if there was a...

Yeah they were never even supposed to be built for the seriously ill were they? I think from the outset the Birmingham Nightingale Hospital in particular was always devised as a step-down facility, so it would accept patients who had recovered sufficiently from coronavirus or who were not...

He's not daft, he just got desperate.
