The likes of Neymar will still be rolling around on the floor like they've had their leg broken.

Not exactly. Because they can get revenue via streaming etc and also won't potentially forfeit any monies/sponsorship from non-played games. So it's more like allowing the pubs allowed to open but can only do home delivery.

Possibly, but she should have been capable of beating him. Trouble was she got complacent thinking "I can't lose to the imbecile Trump" and her rallying became more of a 'victory parade' and her demeanour became far too cocky. By the end even I wouldn't have wanted to vote for her. Biden IMO is...

I agree to an extent but in many ways I'd prefer it like this than the old class style politics system, whereby everyone would just defer to politicians because of a suit and plummy accent when in reality they were little more able than a reasonably educated common man. You did get seem to get...

Of course there's a chance of next season looking dubious. Did you think at Xmas/Jan we'd still have 9-10 games to play at the beginning of May? They may restart, the situation gets worse again and lockdown reestablished before the games are completed. How do you know what will happen? There...

I wonder if Biden will choose Sanders as running mate? Could be a smart move to appeal to Bernie's demographics.

I'm not sure if I think the opposite - now is the best time for us to go up as without crowds it's a great leveller, esp if we're still playing in Brum. We'd be missing out on up to 10k fans per week, others would be missing out on double or even triple that, plus all the F&B income. So it'd be...

End of season promotion party! CHAMPIONES, CHAMPIONES, OLE OLE OLE

I guess it depends on if the medical advice for 'normal people' is different, which it likely will be given any games would likely be BCD. If it is maybe. If there is a major problem of the virus sweeping through after resumption class action is possible saying the decision was wrong and...

Ah, that old classic. Works every time.

Is that what you tell the wife?

Although it's being said partly for morale and partly as a govt PR exercise I think they need to be careful about use of terms like that. People are already starting to be more lackadaisical in what they're doing and saying stuff like that is just going to lead to more complacency. Plus as you...

Yep. When you build a nation to be obsessed with money and wealth the calls for making money will begin way before it's sensible from a health perspective. I'm certain future generations will look back on us as idiots. Even if the polls are misleading, that's all they are - polls. Just because...

That may well be one of the factors involved along with what I've mentioned (I think someone asked one of the African presidents why they'd had no cases and he said "it's very simple - we have no tests". But even so if the manner of people dying is different from normal it would get flagged up...

I agree with that respect - the lack of testing/isolating travellers is a massive fuck up. But that's not to say the measures put in place haven't been worthwhile. They'd have been much better if we'd had these measures as well but just becuase we made the error with travel doesn't mean we may...

Africa has much less international travel so less likely to import it from numerous sources (easier track and trace) and often people living in less dense areas as they have more agricultural based economies etc. There may well be other factors (I don't know if something like the climate will...

But they are 'emergency' hospitals - they don't have all the facilities of a major hospital or indeed the workforce. To my knowledge they were an absolute last case for the really sick. Their use was going to be more like 'halfway house' rehabilitation centres for those recovering to free up the...

In terms of % of people confirmed with corona dying from it yes. But in absolute figures of deaths if they're testing loads of people you'd expect them to have a higher number of overall deaths purely because they'd know that people had the virus. Their numbers are lower than ours, which...

Piers Morgan IS a massive twat full stop. IMO he's been slightly less of a twat in the pandemic as he has actually questioned whether the response has been good enough and if mistakes have been made. Yes, he's also gone down the scaremongering/sensationalism side as well, but as a tabloid...

Which surprises nobody.
