    Another cracking start to our innings.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That pretty much sums up my position as well. I've never been a vote for a particular party no matter what person, I've always looked at what policies they are pushing at each election and voted accordingly but what Clegg did in 2010 means there's no chance they'll get my vote.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Do those who are genuinely against the vaccine rather than just haven't bothered accept hospital treatment and medication? Appreciate not a lot of their stance makes sense but if you won't take a vaccine as you don't know what's in it do they research every treatment offered to them or just...

    Bin Strikes

    Isn't that the whole point. There's a massive shortage of HGV drivers and wages have increased. If all the HGV drivers leave given the shortage and low wages who would take the job?

    Surprised anyone ever has time for work with so many parties going on!

    Bin Strikes

    I never understand the 'I haven't had a pay rise so nobody should get one' idea. If bills are going up shouldn't we be pushing for everyone to get pay rises?

    25% of EFL

    That seems very high. The NHL (ice hockey) has its fair share of redneck players who you might guess are anti-vax but started the season with only 4 players unvaccinated and 3 of them have since changed their mind and had the jab. Why would the percentage be so high for footballers?

    Stoke game likely to be postponed

    Would look great if they said now and there was then a load more cases in the two teams involved.

    Few faked LFTs and get the game called off ;)

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Not sure leaking a bit of footage of Peston, who is at work and looks to be socially distanced in that footage, is going to be the get out for all the Christmas party stories recently.

    What odds on season being postponed?

    You could make an argument for a pause over Xmas. Given the stories in the paper clubs that expect a bumper Boxing Day or New Year crowd might not see that anyway. Could they just take two weeks out and add it to the end of the season? I guess the issue there is that if its not better by then...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Where are we at with people catching covid twice? You can get the new variant if you've had covid before but can you get the new variant more than once? Just thinking with talk of hundreds of thousands of cases a day in the near future is this the 'you could take it on the chin, take it all in...

    Second drop of the day from Butler and that's about the worst drop you'll ever see behind the stumps.

    Weather forecast for tomorrow is ridiculously hot. With Anderson and Broad knocking on a bit and Stokes not having played much cricket can't see the over rate being great. They might regret leaving Leech out just as someone to get some overs in and give them a break.

    Stoke/Millwall/Luton attendances

    Good chance a few have been instructed by their other halves not to go and risk screwing up Christmas. There must have been people who picked it up at games before. When the ONS throw around figures like 1 in 60 people currently have it law of averages says there must be people at games with it...

    I'm sure there's something in the rules already where the umpire can stop this constant flow of people coming onto the pitch. There was a hundred game in the summer where after 3 balls someone was coming on with drinks and kit!

    What odds on season being postponed?

    You'd imagine clubs are telling players to have as little social contact as possible but if they'll pay any attention or not is a different matter.

    Decent catch that. Looks easy but nearly took Broads hands off!

    See we've taken advantage of Cummins absence but not letting the Aussies rack up a score :rolleyes:
