    Most Enjoyable away wins

    In each of our first two seasons in Divison 1 we only had one away win all season, both 1-0, West Brom (Hannigan) and QPR (Willie Carr after 3 minutes). By the end of each season they were really important

    One for the older geezers like me, Brian Lewis. A bit thin, slow but occasionally useful.

    City's Scottish XI - Take no Picts

    It was 2-1 Bobby Tambling for Chelsea in the first half. Then after 47 mins Gerry Baker headed an equalizer from an absolutely exquisite cross from the man himself- Gibbo. Hannigan got the winner with a shot from the edge of the box on the hour. Neil Martin was one of City's best ever centre...

    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....

    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

    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.
