    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Something else to be mindful of. She wants the NHS to be turned into a US style insurance based system. Just as we're going into negotiations with the US in which opening up the NHS is widely believed to be part of the deal.

    "PHE needs disbanding as it's useless" "who shall we get to oversee it's replacement" "Dido Harding?" "Hasn't she been in charge of the monumental fuck-up that is track and trace?" "yeah, but she's one of us" "Well that's that decided then"

    Girl I went to primary with moved to Germany for about 5 years. Came back and saw her in 6th form and she was doing German A level. Don't think she had to bother going to lessons other than to find out about exam structure etc.

    Born again

    Being part of the Renaissance wouldn't have been a bad thing I guess. Just not a fan of the disease and unsanitary conditions. In terms of selfishness, born in the 40's would've been OK. No memory of the war due to age, then NHS (+ penicillin and anti-biotics etc so likely to have a longer...

    Transfer Rumour Jonathan Panzo

    Story I heard was a bit earlier and we were offered him and decided not to pursue it - he was considered more a winger at that point. Also we had Dublin, Huckerby and Whelan so we felt well stocked in the forward department. Fee was about £4m I believe. Think it would've been around 1997.

    I would say that is the definition of an athlete, not a sportsman.

    Transfer Rumour Ben Sheaf

    You say that but nowadays with more technical football and the thought of allowing players to be more expressive and the far more lucrative deals/sponsorships that come with it finding someone who is willing to just be disciplined and mop things up is actually becoming harder. These players...

    Joe Hart - Yet Another Lifeline

    He's cost teams more points in fuck-ups than he's gained them with saves the last few seasons. He WAS a decent keeper. NOW he's a liability.

    Joe Hart - Yet Another Lifeline

    Getting contracts purely on name now. Absolutely error prone for last two years. Wouldn't want him here.

    Another option might be to have a more modular style with coursework which would provide an actual assessment of ability over the length of the course they could use to extrapolate a more accurate grade from. Unless of course someone were stupid enough to disband such a system in favour of...

    Transfer Rumour Jonathan Panzo

    Can't see anyone we've got available we could sell in order to bring in two that are better than we have for the Championship. Even selling one would likely require a premium on top provided by the owners to improve the squad. Absolutely no chance we've got a player who we could sell to buy...

    Realistic signings

    Doesn't matter. If he's being exploited by the opposition you can't afford that weak link regardless of what the players think or the help he provides them. Doyle helped the players through with his leadership but ended up having to be dropped because he just wasn't up to L1 pace. He may have...

    Blog Do City need to strengthen their attacking options?

    I think O'Hare AND Jones together are too similar in the way they play to be together. They both want to get on the ball and move with it all the time. You need an Allen or Shipley who will try and break the line or get the ball and look to play it through (I guess Hilssner as well) to provide...

    Blog Do City need to strengthen their attacking options?

    I think Jones will be that option. Also O'Hare to be a direct option, albeit lacking the pace.

    Blog Do City need to strengthen their attacking options?

    I see it as a back three with four in front. I think it's a good compromise with the extra CB there as cover but having the two ACM's rather than one also gives us more adaptability. With one you can often get a DCM to sit on them and mark them out of the game. I agree the important thing is to...

    Realistic signings

    This is a different level and the speed and pressing goes up a notch and Fadz with another year in the legs is going to be targeted by opposition managers IMO. I can't see us controlling games to the extent we did last year that IMO allowed Fadz to become that consistent performer because he...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    I don't either. I'm just trying to see how Joy might see it. She's only going to go for the most profitable route. She may see winning that case as a chance for big damages and a bigger stadium potentially being available for a lot less money than building. Of course the likelihood of the...

    It is quite a question as to which to keep. I reckon Baka has more natural ability but has a tendency to play within himself. Almost like he's embarrassed to use his size to his advantage. It depends on which Baka turns up on any given day he's so inconsistent. Max on the otherhand as you say...

    You could only move both on IF you could bring two in to replace them. Godden and A.N. Other isn't going to be enough over a season. To bring in two you'd have to complete clear the decks so Ponti and Bremang going as well as those two to give you three first team options up front, and even...

    Snooker

    It's almost a necessary evil to have an ego to use that level of talent, or at least to use it outside of practice. If you worry that doing something you know you're capable of because it'll be perceived as arrogant or disrespectful it hampers that natural ability and holds you back. You need...
