    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    That's been my concern really. Look at Wembley this weekend, a condition of entry was masks being worn at all times which was totally ignored. If minimal restrictions remain in place to allow things to open and people ignore them we risk going backwards. We should be able to get some data from...

    Budget

    At least its going up! As much as moving back to Cov will increase income there will be over a season of lost income to make up over the next few years. Hopefully between covid and the ESL mess it will encourage the authorities to get a better grip on the state of football finance so we're not...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I'm going to take a believe it when I see it stance I think. Events over the summer, well past the date that restrictions are supposedly being removed, are being cancelled on a daily basis - I've already had two today and one was a relatively small outdoor event that's not until September...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You'd think so but we seem to be in a time where things are coming out on a regular basis that would have sunk previous PMs / governments and nothing has happened. As has been said many times on here the change will be made when the likes of Murdoch deem it the right time and everything covid &...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Are the US donating the unused vaccine or selling it on? Who is footing the bill? Assume you don't get charged for the vaccine even in the US so is the government picking up the tab at over-inflated prices? Is treatment covered as well or are huge numbers of American's going to be paying for...

    Most surprising player this year.

    Pretty much what I was going to put. For someone who was told he was surplus to requirements and to find another club to decide to stick around and fight for a place then do a job when called upon is well above what anyone could have expected. He may well not be here next season, or at best...

    All purpose cricket thread

    Having spent the last couple of weeks insisting the IPL will continue despite the situation in India surely they're going to have to either pull the plug or move it to the UAE, probably where it should have been staged to begin with as last years went off without a hitch there. Overseas...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    There is, or at least was at one point, an exemption for protests in the rules. However the protests are supposed to be organised and enforce social distancing & mask wearing which a lot have attempted, to varying degrees of success. At the risk of opening a can of worms this was a very...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    With yesterdays cup final being a test event what are they actually testing? The process of getting people in and out of grounds safely, not crowding around F&B outlets etc or just the raw numbers of infections that show up in the next couple of weeks from people who attended? If they're...

    Would be nice but other experts saying the claims of imminent herd immunity don’t stack up. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/covid-uk-herd-immunity-vaccine-latest-b1828491.html

    Their numbers were right down to the point that they started easily restrictions. There was crowds back at the India v England cricket and then not long later numbers were through the roof and everything was back in lockdown.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    On the bright side it must mean they think we're done with covid else they'd keep Johnson on for a bit. We've all know the plan for a while, its been mentioned on here numerous times. Get Johnson out and blame any Brexit and / or covid issues on him.

    European breakaway league

    The clamour building from Arsenal fans wanting Daniel Eck to takeover just shows that as much stick as the current owners are getting for the ESL nothing will really change. They just want the next person with the open cheque book to come along and when they don't spend enough they will want...

    Stats figures for how much each Championship club has spent

    Can fairly confidently say that any player we sign for £10m will be on higher wages than Biamou or Baka,.

    Stats figures for how much each Championship club has spent

    Pretty sure if we spent £10m plus on a striker and he was no better than Biamou or Baka people would be saying we'd messed up. They certainly wouldn't be saying you can't expect him to be any better just because he cost millions.

    Match Thread Preston (H)

    Telegraph website is absolute shite. You start reading something and it suddenly jumps down the page to make way for a huge advert. In this case 'Five new Eredivisie players to watch' presumably because nobody at the Telegraph can work out that Feyenoord's Liam Kelly and Coventry's Liam Kelly...

    Match Thread Preston (H)

    Fair enough. Looks like quality CT journalism strikes again and they've not included the quote from Robins saying he will be out for the season in the article about him being out for the season :ROFLMAO:

    replied to shmmeee's post in the season ticket thread but decided to delete it and move it here as its in danger of becoming a second covid thread! Think my main concern in the medium term is that we still seem to be slack on border controls and quarantine. Look how slow we've been in reacting...

    Match Thread Preston (H)

    Not sure Robins has said that from the actual quotes. From what Robins has said they don't know what the damage is and he's having a scan tomorrow. Looks like the CT have added in the out for the rest of the season. Obviously there's not long left so even if its something relatively minor it...

    European breakaway league

    But what would happen to the debt. If Man Utd are nearly £800m in debt and the fans are taking on a majority share in ownership are they expected to pay that off?
