That's true, even 60% coverage will be a huge challenge. My understanding is that they believe coronavirus has an R0 of between 2.4 and 3. so to achieve herd immunity in any one country 60% of the population need immunity either from recovering from infection or vaccination. There is an amount...

60% is enough, then the R0 becomes less than 1 and the virus can't be sustained.

Yahoo is now a part of Verizon Media Heard this from a few different sources, governments could possibly indemnify virus production companies from being sued if there are any long term problems. Obviously not an ideal situation but a possible outcome.

I have thought and said consistently that the season must be completed. Yes I would be happy superficially if PPG were used and we were promoted, but would it be fair? Other teams' supporters would forever use it against us, and realistically I want to win the league in style, not be promoted on...

Yes he did get sent off in one of the legs. I remember him fouling his way through one of the games in particular. Got sent off for a bad foul near the half way line IIRC. Apparently he was refused a winner's medal for that sending off. Steve Perryman was also in that team.

Yes, Holmes went on to play for Tottenham and Mortimer captained Villa to the European cup final in 1982. Even then our youth setup was producing top stars.

A number of them came from the brilliant youth team of 1969/70 era including AlanDugdale, Jimmy Holmes, Denis Mortimer, Mick McGuire, Les Cartwright, Alan Green, Bobby Parker. (although not David Icke) Coventry City - Squad 1971/1972

Icke played in the team that lost to Tottenham in the Youth Cup in 1969/70 after 2 replays. I was at the home games and in the Tottenham team was a player head and shoulders above everyone else on the field, in both height and ability. He was Graeme Souness

I saw him play for the youth team, and I think, the reserves but you are right, he never played for the first team to my knowledge

I remember one game where Clements played on the wing, he had his shirt almost completely ripped off his back by a defender. He played the rest of the game like that with his shirt trailing behind him like some super hero's cape.

Yes there were some rough pubs about then. I remember the spitoon in the Elastic Inn. I think I fell in it more than once. Think I was banned from there.

I seem to remember beating WBA 4-2 several times around then.

Clements was quite a versatile and underrated player. I also seem to remember Coop and Cattlin getting forward a lot, almost wingback style. Martin did drop to a more midfield role on odd occasions, and Carr had a spell as a striker when he scored a hattrick in his first game in that roll. I was...

Seems to include the playoffs as well. That's good isn't it? Assuming it can happen.

EFL Chairman, what's happened then?

I can't actually remember my first game but it was in 1966. I got interested following the world cup. I wasn't working so couldn't afford to go but I remember someone told me that they opened the gates at half time and you could just walk in, which is what I did.

I'm assuming that if a Sunday figure is low, then the Monday figure will to some extent be higher than it should be as there will be a spill over. But the media are saying we are doubling every 3 days, I just can't see that. Even taking today's figures being double last Tuesday's that is a much...

786 is almost certain to be an outlier given yesterday's total of 439, and taking into account warnings that weekend figures are likely to be under stated. We will see in the next couple of days but at the moment if you add today and yesterday's numbers together and divide by 2 you get 612 /...

Careful, people might read something different than was meant into that comment. I agree though, Boris does have a sense of humour that is not always appropriate to circumstances.

I haven't heard it said, but Operation last gasp, I would take to mean in the context of ventilator supply, they are meant to provide air & oxygen to the lungs, no more need to gasp for air. Why do people analyse every little thing Boris says and read the worst possible meaning into it?
