    Get a UK company to win a tender to dispose of it by undercutting then bring it back here for our use. Vaccines on the cheap.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    We've had certain inoculations required to visit certain parts of the world for a long while. Although those are more for personal health than public due to transmissable diseases. Unless the vaccine is proven to be that you can't now transmit the virus I also don't see the point. I'd rather...

    Crowds next season

    I think we've benefited slightly from he lack of crowds relatively, esp financially as other teams will be losing far more in gate receipts than we have. Even with last season being in Birmingham would've still meant crowds being low in comparison to many other Championship clubs. The break may...

    You thought the Ricoh and St Andrews was bad...

    That's a 'proper' pitch. 1980's style mudbath. You can see why the long-ball was so popular back in the day.

    Match Thread Swansea

    Swansea don't concede many so a draw would be a great result, esp after winning against brentford. But again if we don't get a result as long as it's a close well fought game that we can take something from so be it and we move forward to look at the March games. Chances are MR will go with the...

    Least favourite Opposition player this season

    Any different to people in their 50/60's banging on about the war and Blitz spirit?

    Squad Improvements 21-22 (assuming Championship)

    CB - left sided pref. Osti returning and Fadz not getting younger. If it could be Osti great, but don't think it will be LB - unless Reid and Newton really push on in pre-season we're going to need this filling ST - upgrade on Baka. Some we've been linked with this year that I'd be interested in...

    What was your favourite ever season watching city in the league

    Loved having Dublin, Huckerby and Whelan. Plus I was in my late teens so it was just an enjoyable time for me in general anyway. Having it followed with the Keane year a bit later as well. Just wish we'd had a better defence than Shaw/Williams. After that got to be last season, cup year and...

    Liverpool

    To be fair they do have a big problem at CB and it seems to be cursed for them. Even CM's filling in are getting injured. But they got shitloads of cash and if they choose not to have sufficient back-up in that position that's the fault of their recruitment.

    Tyler Walker

    Maybe we brought him in to look after McFadzean?

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

    I agree on the whole with you rpoint to which the most obvious path to a solution is "make it so they don't want/need to leave their country of birth/origin". But that involves providing aid, education and sharing of economic opportunities with those poorer nations to help themselves. yet the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'm all for the control of drugs via regulation and taxes. it won't remove the black market but it will reduce it's impact. yes you'll lose those minor fines for possession etc and increase costs with bureaucracy but that'd be a drop in the ocean compared to taxes. Not only that it could reduce...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It does have an element of Corbyn's Brexit response. "Say you'll support Brexit" "But then we'll lose half the country as remainers and a lot of the more liberal left-wing" "Well say you'll have a second referendum then" "But then I'll risk losing half the country as Brexiteers and a lot of...

    Barnsley esc performance

    What I suggested we do nearer the start of the season when we were constantly playing out from the back. Mix it up a bit so they don't know whether to press or not. Football equivalent of rope-a-dope. If you do it all the time you know you can apply the press without fear of having it lumped...

    Crowds next season

    Really not sure. having been cooped up for so long I think a lot of people will just want to do almost anything to socialise so no reason why football wouldn't be part of that. Depending on the response clubs will of course be willing to use pricing strategies to entice people back into the...

    O'Hare

    For me at the moment it's kelly - the difference between him being available and not is huge. He may not be fancy or grab headlines but he just makes the team play better going about his business, instructing, getting in the refs ear etc. O'Hare has been good, esp for the workrate but also in...

    Indded they are but of the three (Walker, Godden and Biamou) the one I'd say is least likely to win and keep hold of the ball is Walker. He's a goalscorer so needs the support of others to do that. It's the same thing we had with Chaplin and to a lesser extent Ponticelli - they need others to...

    It's an obligation and he's played quite a few games so I'd be quite surprised if we didn't, and if not I'd imagine they'd be some kind of financial penalty for it in the contract. Can we really afford to be spending money to NOT sign players? He needs to improve but there's something there to...

    We won that game due to the collective effort of the team. So no, he didn't 'stand out' - he was just effective in a different way to others who were equally important. One of the goals was a (poorly struck) penalty that you'd hope at least half of the players on the pitch would score. His...
