    Could be interesting. Not the sort of player you come up against every week in the Championship. At 38 and playing at the highest level he's ever played at I can't see him starting regularly.

    If you don't identify as anything does that mean you can never be arrested?

    Realistic Expectations next season

    21st and being safe before the final day would be good enough for me. The unanswered question is how we kick on from here without someone sinking in millions every season. Think the stadium issue is often used as a red herring here, even in the unlikely event SISU built a stadium and gifted it...

    You'll struggle to get any reliable deaths data for India from before covid-19 let alone now. They routinely fail to register over a quarter of deaths at all and only about a fifth of registered deaths have a cause listed and those that aren't listed are often inaccurate.

    George Floyd

    I'm interested to know what you would view as sufficient proof any incident has a racial aspect? Are you expecting the officer in question to pop on his Klan uniform before kneeling on someones neck?

    No play today, umpires have called it. Forecast is better tomorrow, 2 days to get 19 wickets.

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    Good to see WMCA and CCC talk to each other to make sure they aren't both working on the same thing!!!

    Very rough figures and obviously it could take months / years to have the data properly analysed but it looks like around 10% of excess deaths are under 65. Are you suggesting deaths of anyone over the age of 65 are acceptable? Life expectancy in the UK is over 80 years so drawing a line at 65...

    Which is why you need the opposition to highlight it and give a viable alternative. This idea that Starmer can hold off until everything is over and there's an enquiry is a joke. Already see Conservative voting friends, who are far from politically engaged, calling him Mr Hindsight.

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    Is this what you're thinking of? Suspect that's another project where a politician, in this case WM Mayor Andy Street, makes a big announcement only for it never to be heard of again.

    Would love to be optimistic but just having Johnson get up and say everything will be back to usual by Xmas while the experts are saying the opposite doesn't give me reason to. We're just hearing soundbites from the government, there not showing any actual plan as to how they will achieve...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Astonishingly this isn't fake As well as Botham its being reported their will be peerages for four former Labour MPs, Frank Field & Gisela Stuart (who both supported Brexit) and Ian Austin & John Woodcock (who both told Labour supporters not to vote for Corbyn).

    Whitty pretty much implied that today. Said "when children go back to school we may have to put in other measures to make up for that".

    Ricoh is confirmed?

    A useable pitch shouldn't really be an optional extra when hiring a football stadium!

    Ricoh is confirmed?

    Didn't we sign a multi-year deal for St Andrews last year with a get out clause if we wanted to go back to the Ricoh?

    On one side you've got Sir Patrick Vallance FRS FMedSci FRCP and Chris Whitty CB FRCP FFPH FMedSci, on the other Johnson. I know which side I'd trust.

    To get completely accurate data could take years. People will need to drill down in to it and you will need to offset figures for later this year and into next year. For example if cancer patients have tragically died earlier as they havre stopped treatment then that will be taken into account...

    To get back to the original subject while it applies to gigs not sporting events Music Venue Trust have issued a statement saying they were working with the government on how to reopen venues safely but the government have blindsided them with an announcement they knew nothing about and aren't...

    They're getting absolutely desperate to deflect blame. Anyone who has been paying the slightest attention to the figures knew there were issues with accuracy, its not something that's been hidden. Its the reason most people are looking at excess deaths as the most accurate figure.
