    Premier league, FA and EFL statement

    With no fans travelling should be able to schedule games in at pretty short notice if needed.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Disney+ is well worth a subscription IMO. As well as the Disney, Pixar Star Wars and Marvel stuff there's a ton of documentaries from National Geographic. They've got a new 'channel' starting next month as well, Star, which will have things like 24, Lost, X-Files, basically anything from 20th...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Suspect the ones that have been offered Manchester is down to someone entering some wrong data somewhere. In any case 'outrage' is a bit over the top. The offer of vaccination at one of the mass vaccination centres is an optional way to get done sooner, if you prefer to have it done locally you...

    Derby unable to pay players wages

    The house of cards has to come crashing down at some point. There has been warning after warning but in reality very little has been done to sort out overspending and get things under control. What we're seeing now is not so much a result of covid as it is covid accelerating what would have...

    Was curious so did a quick google for data on population density and how it relates to covid rates. Found this which would suggest the link isn't as great as you would think. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-19-death-rate-vs-population-density?minPopulationFilter=1000000&time=latest

    All purpose cricket thread

    Lot of other sports do this already but they don't make any mention of it. The smaller channels aren't flying people all over the place to commentate. BBC website has started doing it as well, for example thy've been running commentary on Big Bash games in Australia without sending any...

    All purpose cricket thread

    Fantastic performance from England this morning but Sri Lanka have been woeful. Started the morning with TMS and Aggers commenting from his loft in a dressing gown. Then onto Sky and David Lloyd talking about commentary being interrupted by the bin men and postman!

    We agreed to pay for the doses we'd ordered months before they even knew it worked let alone got approval to ensure they would be able to get mass production up and running so we're definitely at the front of the queue.

    Hilsner loaned out

    Would rather him go to L2 and get minutes than L1 and potentially not play. Given he's never played in the country before and has had months without game after they found the asthma issue getting game time has to be the priority.

    Sheff Wed postponed

    Glad we put out a strong side last week and have a game coming up in midweek. Good to have a rest but don't want them going too long without a game.

    That's a better priority system, lets get Cov done first.

    slight increase on yesterday but 47,525 is still 3 days in a row under 50K for the first time in a couple of weeks so hopefully the average will start going down.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Johnson is rubbish at PMQs without the back benchers cheering him on. Having said that I find Starmer disappointing, he seems to struggle to land a blow. 'armed with a spreadsheet' sums it up. Thats all well and good and plays well with his supporters but doesn't cut across with the general...

    Having seen the pictures from Millennium Point I think what people were expecting when the term mass vaccination centres was thrown around and the reality are quite far apart. What was shown at Millennium Point could have been setup in 24 hours. Its not really that different to what gets set...

    Would be much better if they just told us what the plan was going forward rather than randomly making announcements that contradict each other. First it was no 24/7 as nobody would go, then it wasn't possible logistically and now Johnson is saying it will be up and running as soon as possible...

    Think Priti Patel has been reading the forum. After the talk on here yesterday of the rules being easy to follow she said at last nights briefing the rules are "very simple and clear". This was swiftly followed by her talking about how people can enjoy outdoor recreation. That’s outdoor...

    Its listed as a 352 bed hospital. Although interesting to note that older listings from a few years back show 440 beds so seems there has been a cut. There's a Telegraph article from April saying critical care capacity is being increased and can go up as high as 42 beds. If there's an issue its...

    Anti body test

    Not sure its worth the money. Is there any benefit to knowing you have had it in the past? You won't know if you have immunity so will still need to follow all social distancing and get a vaccine when available.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Its playground stuff. Would be hilarious if the consequences of his actions weren't so dangerous.

    If they can maintain the current level, which will be an issue of supply as the infrastructure is now in place, we could hit the governments 2m a week which I was very sceptical of. The other issue will be maintaining the level of 1st dose vaccinations when they hit the point at which they have...
