    Championship

    Doesn't stop them hoarding players though. Sometimes teams will buy a player just so someone else can't have them - make the rivals weaker rather than yourself stronger. Players can sit on the bench/play reserves and earn far more money at a top club than as regulars elsewhere. That's what I'm...

    I admit I've been going out every two/three days for a walk and some fresh air (plus it helps my back) but I'm doing my best to avoid people while I'm out (not that I'm seeing many of them anyway). Should I need supplies I'll use that as the excuse to go a slightly longer route to get the walk...

    Best CCFC 11 - with a slight difference

    But that's going to be the case as you tend to get defenders from the home nations/Ireland, esp at our standard. But there's players from the home nations in other positions I'm not prepared to drop for other defenders. For example Babb, but I'm not losing Keane.

    I know it’s a stupid question but

    I think he's suggesting everyone play Aswad. Although all those that shout 'FORWARD' will instead have to shout "DON'T TURN AROUND"

    I know it’s a stupid question but

    Maybe they could allow the U23 to be used as more of a friendly, match fitness building game

    Championship

    I agree with the squad limits but I think 25 is too small. Should be at least 3 per position, especially if competing in numerous competitions and gives some scope to bring through some youngsters if desired. I'd go with a squad of 40 pro contracted players, inc U23. Not sure if I'd...

    Championship

    But they're going to sign for clubs less likely to be relegated anyway unless they get offered a massive amount more money, which is then even more onerous on the club if they do go down. Half the time the players on these massive salaries at lesser clubs coast along anyway as the expectation is...

    I think in order to stagger the infections and stop everyone getting cabin fever it will be relaxed every so often and then retightened. Things with that are that there will then be people not understanding the strategy saying why are we continuity doing this - if we have to keep bring it in...

    Have you seen the size of some of those text books? And you had to take in about three different ones a day. I walked to and from school (two/three miles e/w) from the age of 13 and twice a week had full PE kit/boots etc as well. At uni I travelled and it was a couple of miles round trip from...

    perhaps we should get novels printed on bog rolls? Gives you something to read in the loo and people seem to have infinite capacity to store them. Plus when you've finished the storage issue isn't a problem. Of course you will need to keep you're own bog roll separate or the story may well jump...

    But being shared bikes they also massively increase the risk of transmission and spreading it around the city. Can't see everybody wiping down the handlebars etc before/after every journey.

    If lots of people aren't tested and you're doing the death rate against tests/positive tests surely the % will be higher? Only those worse affected/hospitalised will be tested. If you're doing as % of population overall then maybe, but the expected death toll was purely a guess anyway as you've...
