Not really seeing the advantages of the proposed set up over bringing the railways back into public ownership. Just seems a way to guarantee private companies don't make losses.

Not good, and uni students back this week. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-54250805

He also came out with this corker when asked why the death rate was higher here than in other countries, "It's very difficult to ask the British population uniformly to obey guidelines in the way that is necessary”. Not to mention, "There is nothing more frustrating for the vast majority who do...

They can't get testing or tracing organised and the stats they release have had their methodology changed numerous times to 'correct' them yet we're supposed to believe they have evidence people are catching it after 10pm in pubs. Struggling to believe that tbh. What do they think is happening...

Something needs to be put in place. According to the ONS in April 2019 (the most recent figure available) the average employee was earning £30,415. What is the impact on the economy going to be if we suddenly dump millions of people onto a maximum of £4,919 a year under universal credit when...

I get that they have to act on the latest advice but its not like these things weren't being pointed out at the time. When they told everyone to go to the pub and started dishing out vouchers for cheap meals out everyone could see what the result would be but that was ignored. Same with back to...

Agreed, its the BCD bit thats causing the issue at the moment. Once grounds are opened back up ticketing arrangements will be as they were previously. When they then allow all games to be streamed, and we all know it will happen eventually, each club will be able to offer their own subscription...

Eye opening article as I was under the impression players were being tested. Turns out the EFL have scrapped that, although they claim its not down to cost. Spurs weren't happy the Orient players weren't being tested so paid for the tests themselves and the majority of the squad came back...

But only for those who can afford it. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus-test-moonshot-nhs-charge-dido-harding-b519895.html

Start at the top. Have an MPs code of conduct and they get hammered if they bullshit.

This has always been my concern with crowds returning to football. How many issues have we had with people not being sat in the right seats, standing in seating areas etc and when its pointed out people have a go at the stewards for being jobsworth. I find it hard to believe we could have even...

Among all the depressing news this morning something a bit more hopeful.

What makes you so certain? As much as I'm not a fan of having it written into contracts that loan players have to play a certain number of games I can't imagine that Wolves and Norwich have loaned us players and will be happy for them not to be playing.

According to the papers the virus is also taking Christmas Day off. Very considerate. IMO the inconsistencies cause huge problems. You have to get people to buy in to the restrictions, there simply isn't the manpower to police them. How can you get people to buy in when the rules don't make...

Saw a bit of the Trafalger Square protest at the weekend on Twitter. Someone giving a speech about how it wasn't covid it was 5G and its all a plan so they can roll out mandatory vaccinations which are really a method of mind control. The crowd were lapping it up. Social media has really been...

What makes you think that? https://metro.co.uk/2020/09/20/boris-worried-about-money-and-affording-a-nanny-on-150000-pm-salary-13297031/

Obviously not going to complain about having a quality player back but can only echo what others have said, seems an odd deal all round. As much as anything we know we have a small budget, is bringing in a player in a position we already have someone performing well in a priority? Of course we...

Interesting article, worth a read. https://elemental.medium.com/the-most-likely-way-youll-get-infected-with-covid-19-30430384e5a5

It seems odd to me how the goalposts get moved so regularly without much mention. We had months of experts saying that to open schools up for the new term would need something to be closed to compensate, even if the R was stable. Yet when we get to the start of term we open schools up despite...
