I think we're going to have one of the famous French meltdowns with a lot of animosity in the squad.

But in many cases it was. People went back out, to work etc and we had a second wave that killed tens of thousands. And once it's done there's no going back. If they're dead they're dead and you'll never see them again. If you're looking to strike a balance that is one fat bastard on the other...

I was the same with the football where they were socially distanced for team line-ups etc. When they were doing the guard of honour for Man City the players were stood well back and apart from one another and then within five minutes they were pretty much standing on each others toes defending...

Not a bad idea though. If we bought Ronaldo's right bollock and Messi's left then started an academy insemination programme two decades down the lines we're golden. Although I'm surprised we haven't got a team full of Ndlovu's right now. Actually, scrap that - much better idea. Buy Gary Breen's...

or Claret Bourbon?

Faded into obscurity playing Sunday League until about 15 when I became disillusioned with the game and concentrated on other avenues.

It could only have been better if he'd had another mate dressed as a busty blonde who he'd get distracted chasing after the virus and chase them instead. With another mate dressed as a toff chasing him waving money.

He's enjoying some fava beans and a nice chianti

To be honest though do you not reckon there'd be a load over here that'd be the same if Johnson said the same in a foreign country. Those from the left who'd just be quite happy for him to have gone away and those on the right outraged that he's not called wherever he is a backward shithole...

One snapped ACL (Automatic Construction Loom) and we're stuffed.

Another indication of how sad I was (well, let's be honest, am) is that I was trying to think of a way you could get names onto shirts that could them be removed/replaced if a player was sold or if a fickle child got a new favourite player or we signed someone. Loads of ideas, but none I felt...

I only got them cos the place we got them from (this was when other shops could sell them) a name was included for free on kids shirts. Once it became a cost extra I didn't get them on anymore (plus it'd have look a bit sad on someone who was 14). Hence why the only exception was the kit with...

As a kid I had my own name put on the back because I was worried if I had my favourite they'd end up getting sold. This was before transfer windows too. Yep, even as a kid I was a boring bastard thinking about the longer term.

Surprised they haven't put a stop to that with Covid. How many different hands are touching those cups? Hopefully the vaccine will stop the inevitable rise in infections resulting in hospitalisations and deaths.

I really can't see us staying in lockdown (which we're not truly in now anyway, just eased restrictions) for the backlog to be eased. I think the issue with the Nightingale hospitals was staffing. If you'd shoved every covid patient in them then all your doctors and nurses would have been there...

I thought you were supposed to for track and trace?

Because it was only very short term data. It needs to show that it stays that way rather than jumping to conclusions straight off the bat. It'd be like Cov going 1-0 up in the first 10mins and then saying "well, that's this game won then." As far as I can see the most vociferous voices claiming...

I'm not arguing that the decisions they made was ad hoc and based more on popularity/idealism than data but are they moving goalposts? Let it rip was never official policy even though Johnson talked about it on TV and was no doubt very in favour of it especially early on. They said we could see...

Oggy Nilsson Dublin Boateng Froggatt Ndlovu Keane Gunnarsson Huckerby Borrows I'll also give a mention to the following even though some it's nothing to do with their play on the field - I just liked them. Gordon Strachan Breen Mo Davenport Wise McSheffrey Soltvedt Aloisi

Indeed, but it'd be a joke if Nilsson and Shaw got in ahead of Brian Borrows. I think Gary Mac only really had one decent season with us before deciding to leave and Doyle played loads of times and undoubtedly gave his all, but I can't say he was more of a legend than McGrath or Gynn. Bu I can...
