Yeah, the latest ones were revised down due to better effectiveness of jabs than they had previous assumed. Previous ones, when they were estimating increased transmissibility of Delta variant, had quoted hospitalisations being in the thousands per day (across all scenarios from memory), more...

That was just an awful pass. The ‘there for the taking comment’ was relating to the fact that if you get at Germany with pace, they struggle. People will rightly mention the Portugal match (they looked great in the game - Southgate nullified them on the wings though), but then again Hungary were...

I was talking about a couple over the past 2-3 months, in particular the forecast daily hospitalisations and inpatients (and in turn deaths). The quoting of thousands of hospitalisations per day and the build up of inpatients when the high risk had been vaccinated/a signifiant majority of the...

Sloppy in possession in patches (shaw consistently first half), didn’t take advantage of German weaknesses (they’re slow !), Kane barely had a kick, and we gave them a couple of decent opportunities. As I say, I’ll hold my hands up, I was fuming midway through second half and expected us to...

I’m a fan and have always supported him (even if I didn’t/don’t agree with his team selections) but the first 70 mins we were poor. Germany were there for the taking. However, as I’ve said before, I’d have had shaw off at HT (set up first and involved in second goal) and Kane off not long before...

Spot on. Modelling had been horrifically wrong (again) thank god. PHE covid inpatients jumped yesterday, after the weekend, but a small drop back today Let’s hope thIs data continues

Not read the above but for 70 mins it was pretty turgid…fuck it though we beat Germany 2-0. I was saying to mates shaw should’ve been off at HT and Kane a couple off minutes before he scored. What do I know ?! Grealish (who most of us would’ve picked) changed the game though In all the...

Hamers a box to box (if he stays). I’m excited to see how Eccles develops this season, looked very good end of last, so maybe on reflection I wonder whether James was as much of a ‘must have’ as I thought. Not bitter, honest !

Even though I’m desperate to see Grealish start, it ain’t happening, so the above team, which is probably what he’ll pick, with either Saka as LWB for Shaw, or Mount for one of the sitters, would do for me. Bit overly cautious as it stands but that’s Southgate. Plenty on the bench to step in...

So was Xhaka, both poor in the prem though (for top players)

Yeah, still so much to learn. Unfortunately I can’t see herd immunity (total suppression) happening as quickly as I originally thought. Kids not vaccinated (and not sure if young uns should be) and also a mate mentioned something the other day that I’d not even considered, what about all the...

Depends which strippers were wearing PPE I guess ps had the same after England Scotland match in Birmingham. Two self isolation notices, four nothing. Two in self isolation tested negative on LFs throughout isolation 🤷‍♂️

Great night of football !

Yeah agree, just say what Johnson has been saying ‘looking ok for now’ Yeah, never really got the irreversible comment but kind of see it the other way. Its given them the ability to say we don’t want to make rash decisions that we then have to go back on, so let’s wait and review the data...

Yeah, I did shake my head when I heard the comment. As I say I hope he’s based it on concrete data !

Yeah, bit overly bold for first working day in office ! He should’ve seen some data (cases leading to hospitalisations) before making that statement...well, I hope so anyway !!! ps heard earlier that death rate is now less than 1 in a 1000

Well, that might be part of the reason, ultimately though the delta variant is far more transmissible and will become the most dominant strain across the world (until another more transmissible one comes along). I’ve said before this is now a race between vaccinations and delta variant...

Ive not seen any but have read bits in the media (shorter, less serious stays as more younger patients)

Yeah, comparing number of tests taken to positive cases is probably better than days at the moment (test numbers have been all over the shop, anywhere between 600k and 1.2m daily). 22k cases is still high though. Increase in PHE Covid inpatients as well however there’s usually a bit of a jump on...

I was talking likely team with mates yesterday and consensus is that he’ll go back five, two sitters and Mount and Foden back in. I’ll be a bit disappointed if that’s the case as I thought both Saka and Grealish did enough to keep their places (Wonder if there’s an outside chance of Saka playing...
