Yeah it will. Just not for a long while yet and we've probably got a dark, cold and miserable winter ahead. Even if it still carries on it'll blow itself out eventually. I mean, if it killed everyone it can't infect anyone else can it.

I've been inspired to create a sketch called 'Keane as mustard' based around the exploits of DI Bobby Keane, an inspector who ignores the obvious (and eventual) perpetrator to follow unlikely or ludicrous leads. PC: Guv, I've made a breakthrough in that case of the old couple that were hacked...

I liked savoury ice creams. Yorkshire pud with a dollop of mash in the middle, sausage sticking out and red or brown sauce.

But that's just one specific case. It doesn't mean any of the rest are like that. Except for all the ones that are.

It was bad enough first time when we had the heads-up with places like Spain and italy and decided to ignore it thinking we'd just be able to gain economically from it. They put their ideology ahead of prudence with the pubic health. But it also may have been that they didn't think it was that...

So do you think all previous conduct and awarding of contracts should just be excluded from the thinking? If so, I've heard there's this guy called James who's doing a free booze cruise to games in London after the pandemic- I reckon you'd be interested. OK, some people might say he's done it...

Different thing to being able to deliver. You'd think you'd remember that give the issues we had getting the PPE at the start of the pandemic from companies very like the one given this contract.

So as I said before if I set up a company and say i can provide 1m bits of equipment i assume they'd just give me the contract wouldn't they? No time to check as it's urgent. I say I can do it now give me the money. One thing you constantly never bring up is the numerous previous examples of...

Agree with pretty much all of this. Squad caps, no hoarding of young talent, no parachute payments giving an unfair advatange to get back up and making clubs have to be more conscious of the costs of the long term contracts handed out. U21/B teams can fuck off. However I wouldn't be averse to...

One of the few things that I've enjoyed of this is the karma the PL is getting. This is their business model that shafted the football league, just this time it's them being shafted. Reap what you sow.

Given the restrictions on spending are based on revenues not profits (if they were no-one would have a budget) you'd expect the club to go for the revenue unless it was loss-making overall, which it isn't.

Ricoh sponsorship ran out 2015. We've played at the stadium since then. No new sponsor. I admit that now being a Championship team increases the potential likelihood of a sponsor but I doubt there's a swath of companies wanting to put their name on a building where the two teams involved are in...

So I'll ask again. What EVIDENCE is there that this company is able to meet their stated targets? There is none because the company has existed for all of five minutes. I have no idea if the other company could fulfil its claim, but at least it has a trading history and reputation that can be...

If that's true why was so much made about the F&B income? It eventually got trotted out as the main sticking point in the negotiations and from the sounds of it you'd think it was the difference between us going bust or not.

Are you really that naive? The evidence is 'cos they say so'. I can deliver 1m PPE a week. It's true because I've just said so. Or do you think someone should check my claim based on my past dealings of the quantity and quality delivered. Oh, you can't because I've only just set it up. What a...

Blatant power grab from the big clubs to have control over everyone, using the current situation as leverage because some are so close to the edge they'd almost have to accept anything to keep going, even though in 10 years they'll be in the same situation. Bit like the King offering the...

Under what evidence? Why would a new start-up be able to deliver to a scale an established provider with all the contacts couldn't do 10% of? Just because they say they'll get 500k doesn't mean they can do it. If I said I could fit a new boiler in an hour, but I've only just started out you'r...

Yeah lets just perpetually go for the tried-and-trusted deregulation allowing the traders to get greedy, leading to high but unsustainable growth built on a foundation of sand. Inevitably that situation will eventually cause a recession, which they bring in austerity to deal with, slashing...

I think with undrafted players etc Belichick knows he will always have control as those players will be grateful for the opportunity and not rock the boat, or at least certainly not for a while. When he took on Brown he got rid very quickly because he could see it was going to be an issue with...

Starmer is being far too quiet on the situation and how it's being milked for personal profit by the Tories. But how are Labour supposed to offer alternatives when the govt are trying to deny even their backbenchers a say in parliament with a massive majority? And that's after they purged...
