Did you your mum go up to your dad and say "who's a pretty boy then?"

First thing first - it was right that the statue came down. The way it ended up coming down wasn't ideal but that is the fault of those in charge for dragging their heels on the issue. But the statue wasn't there to 'celebrate his actions around slavery' - it was there to commemorate what he...

It is possible for the person to be both. It's not Hollywood with goodies and baddies - it's real life with people having both good and bad parts to them. You can show greatness in terms of leadership or innovation but have horrific personal views (i.e. Churchill). Similarly a person can show...

There are most definitely cases of people of a similar social standing being treated differently due to the colour of their skin at all class levels. But if you have a well-educated posh speaking black person and a working class white person the black person probably has far better chance of...

I do remember being told years ago it was a slave song, but it's not really about hope. It's about resignation and looking forward to death as a release from their bondage.

I disagree. There's plenty of people out there calling for reparations. Why should people who had nothing to do with slavery have to pay money to people who've never been slaves? Ask them if they'd go to jail to pay for a crime their great grandparents had committed and I doubt they'd be as keen,

Compare it to how it has declined in other countries - places that decided when they had it at the levels we do it was categorically not safe to open yet. Just because a car has slowed down from 60 to 20 doesn't mean it's a good idea to walk out in front of it.

I'm wondering if this might be the point that people begin to realise it's all massively overhyped and it's the atmosphere the fans generate that make it more interesting rather than the actual football. All the headlines generated are around contentious decisions rather than actual gameplay.

I must be the exception. I've massively improved my diet over the past few years and have never had so many problems. Tiredness, lethargy, aches and pains. But if I have a high fat meal I've got way more energy.

One of the reasons I want squad caps. Big clubs get to hoard players thus preventing smaller clubs improving yet at the same time can loan them out for massive fees to someone else who has to take the risk in smoothing the rough edges off while also paying for the privilege. Then if they make it...

I'm embarrassed at how long it took me to twig that joke. Took me so long I could've driven to Barnard Castle and back.

Similarly this year peterboro had the strongest attack by a mile. Didn't make the play-offs.

Which in a way goes to show that the 'product' itself is actually quite shit. The fact that fan noise adds so much to a game says a great deal about the game itself

Got to admit I'd not heard of that, other than guessing it was cheese based. Wonder if anyone had ever tried surstromming or hakari?

I don't have a woman in a burqa in my front door.

Surely this is a crime against humanity? Up there with chemical and biological warfare.

Compare to elsewhere rather than our own numbers. The trend shows we're going down a lot slower than elsewhere. So that suggests our infection level is above where it should be. If you look at ours in isolation of course you can say "it's going down". Compare it to others and it's "we've fucked...

Jobello being out led to MR having to ditch the system we were playing for the box which absolutely turned our season from being decent to amazing. Jones being out (although expected) also made this formation untenable.

And if one has to be given precendence over the other which do you choose?

Until someone picks up an infection through close contact and it results in them being hospitalised or dying. I think that would be considered having a major impact on their lives don't you? In certain instances, such as outside for short periods of time in contact 1m would be fine. Closed...
