    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    u Of course it would be, or at least in the first half of it, but Johnson seems obsessed with popularity. However, it's weird the stuff he'll leak to gauge opinion on first yet feeding needy kids out of term time, which hardly anyone would say isn't a worthy cause, is a hill they're (so far)...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I agree. It seems like a lot of the worst problems, esp now, were largely avoidable with strong leadership and sensible, albeit probably unpopular, action to contain it. Instead this fear of being unpopular, slavish preoccupation with economics ahead of public health and determination to give...

    Man beheaded in Paris

    Spat between France and Turkey seems wholly unnecessary and it seems some hardline Islamic people are now trying to, ironically, follow the stance of Netanyahu of Israel with Judaism of wanting to ban any kind of Islamophobia but that description appears to be any criticism of Islam or n Islamic...

    Death List 2020

    I was thinking "isn't Stirling Moss already dead?" Have those occassionally. I swear Ruth Rendell died about four times.

    Michael Rose

    It wasn't a harsh sending off - it was correct according to the laws of the game. Rose should know that, let the man go and hope Marosi makes the save. Even if he'd lunged in with his feet he'd have got away with a yellow as the ref was likely to interpret it as a genuine challenge, esp early in...

    New third shirt

    Given the city of culture will be predominantly next season I think that's unlikely.

    Match Thread Middlesbrough

    As we can't decide whether to have two ACM's or two forwards can they flit between the two? ie sometimes having Godden come a bit deeper to challenge for the ball while Walker plays off the last man trying to get in behind?

    Coventry Easter egg I didn’t expect

    I wasn't expecting a Coventry City easter egg either. Mainly because it's nearly Halloween

    Match Thread Middlesbrough

    Agree with the players but I might stay with the box formation and try either Sheaf or Hamer next to O'Hare.

    Stay calm it’s a long season

    I think we've had a few niggly small injuries this season that haven't helped getting a settled team, matched with some stupid suspensions. It made a big difference last season and the L2 season that we improved when we had a settled side and didn't get many injuries to disrupt that momentum.

    W**ps confirm premiership final

    All taken from the US because it's more £££. At least in the US the teams involved don't all play each other due to different leagues/divisions so it has some validity to find the best. When you;re picking them from the same league who've played the same teams you have over the season it kind of...

    They've been told not to to concentrate on the delivery. Like saying refs can't be bothered to look at throw ins/offsides because the assistant is there for that.

    Scores on the doors v Blackburn

    I assume Rose would've got a 7 if he hadn't made it to the ground

    We did manage to keep 10 men on the pitch. Personally I'd prefer 11.

    Match Thread Blackburn

    Trouble is teams are exploiting the space behind the wing backs and pressing us high so they can't get forward. To stop that needs a back four (although that itself has problems) so how do we set up the midfield/attack? Godden looks isolated on his own, we lose control of midfield if we play two...

    Depends on the system we're playing. In a back three he looks decent, back four dodgy
