Lucky to be through this before end May at the earliest. So 2 games a week from mid-June and start the next season at the end of September Run the next season until end of May (they did in '63) Kill unnecessary cup competitions Play FA Cup midweek - every round with penalty shootouts for draws...

Just for Grendel, here is another, more sophisticated version of the same graph showing the path we are on. This one is from John Hopkins University & the FT. We are all - in the West at least - on the same path. Not sure we will get games after Lincoln....

see my point about the steep Italian curve at the start due to incompetence.

Italy too has a very elderly population. It appears that there was incompetence in not spotting it right at the start (I was in northern Italy 22-29 Feb). The Italian outbreak is not focused on the big urban centres, which is counter intuitive, nor is it in France where there is a hotspot just...

An extended season is the likely solution. All other options risk legal action. But games would be 2 a week I guess. The virus seems to to take 8 weeks from kick off to being past its peak (this is why the Govt has delayed taking some actions - it wants to fit the action to time of most risk...

It is a curiosity of this virus that unlike its predecessors it does not have a U shaped distribution curve that is the norm. In those cases the deaths and disease are at either end of the age spectrum - the young and the old. This virus appears to kill only the elderly. The clue is "underlying...

As I said in the first post, Japan is a curious outlier, given that they have a very elderly population. But it is academic and clutching at straws - all European countries would to be on an almost identical path. - except the very steep Italian kick off as well

If the Premier of China visits Wuhan, you can be pretty sure it's virtually finished. It is declining absolutely in China, not just the rate of spread

The numbers tell a different story, but hey, who needs facts https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESshSpfWAAECPLR?format=png&name=small

Things you should know. 1. Every western country is on exactly the same track as Italy, the only variable is the date of the first case. So in two weeks time UK likely to be like Italy today 2. Only one western economy breaks this rule - Japan, which is curious given the age of the population...

Almost certain he's on a good wedge for the division already - compensation for the shit ground position. No evidence, just a hunch

Before the season, I had us in the play offs and fantasized about the top 2 without really believing it. After all we came close to the play offs last year, and this year's side is obviously better.

Personally I suspect Fleetwood are going to sneak into the play offs

me...... I refer to my earlier statement. Unless you lead by three you always need another goal

Narrow win. Because that is what Robins has been doing (with very few exceptions) ever since he arrived.

Have I missed something or is Seppala much more involved now, and we are seeing a lot less of Fisher? Can that be over interpreted?

Bit of a mistake - agreed to lecture to a society that meets at 1.30 pm on the first Sunday of the Month, when the game was originally the day before.

It has struck me that since we were relegated SISU have managed us at least as well as and in some ways better than many other clubs outside the top tier. See Bury, Bolton, Oldham, Birmingham, Derby, Sheffield Wednesday and the mess they are all in. Unless they have a sugar daddy or some...

It would be like having Usain Bolt in the last leg of a primary school relay race where every other team has finished before he gets the baton...is a great line

Regarding following games on here - which I enjoy. It's the annoying platitudes "We need to score early." - I think that is true of just every every game of football that has ever been played. Not sure a coach very often says "Don't worry about scoring goals, we'll get one near the end". An...
