Not read any responses but after sven and capello, at least we have a manager who gives a shit ! He’s got players enjoying and taking pride in playing for England again. I might not agree with his team selections but I’ll take that any day of the week Ps it’s coming home 😉

Very good performance. Phillips and Rice just didn’t let their midfield play

Agree with this. Don’t mind waiting two more weeks to get over 50s second doses fully effective and a few more young uns jabbed, and to just finalise assessment of data but surely that should be sufficient (still see guidance like masks etc remaining though) As I mentioned yesterday I think it...

England have well and truly fucked this ! (after dragging themselves back into the match)

...especially in the middle of a worldwide pandemic

I keep an eye on the covid inpatients/deaths rather than admissions. Trusts have said people being admitted are younger and therefore the turnaround and release is a lot quicker. Yesterday in PHE the number of covid inpatients (so basically the net number of admissions, releases and deaths)...

Didn’t know whether to stick this on the cricket or covid thread

You’ve got Hancock to thank for that* 😊 *says Hancock

😂 I actually prefer watching us bowl in tests (unless flat wicket)...was hoping we’d still be batting as it would mean we’d at least post a semi competitive score...as I said earlier though...flakey ! Jimmy, broadly...can you dig us out the shit again please

I can’t watch Hancock...arrogant, condescending and lack of self awareness (doesn’t realise how shit he is)

exactly what my mate and I were just discussing, they basically rely on honesty of tester ! Bit tricky to do but got a genuine negative ps WTF was that shot from Bracey first ball ?!!

We have an unhealthy, ageing population unfortunately Not listened to him but will try to catch the ‘highlights’ at some point ! Let’s be honest nothing will ever be Hancock’s fault in his eyes ! There is an element of truth around that comment in relation to first wave looking at Sage minutes...

Our order looks very flakey*. Pope, who is by all accounts very talented, just hasn’t done it consistently, add a couple of others who are out of form (or maybe not good enough yet) and it’s tricky seeing us getting big scores at the moment Need these pair (Burns and Lawrence) to hang...

Yeah, sorry, should’ve said models released to/by the media. If a paper is going to be splashing 40k hospitalisations a day as a headline (don’t want to jinx it but still can’t see how that would be feasible now) they should at least report the context via the key assumptions. As that appears...

Thanks Shmmeee, I really like stuff like this (it’s the hidden geek in me) and agree that the modelling and whole lockdown, protecting high risk etc etc approach should’ve been far more innovative and considered more factors (rather than one size fits all). I’m not quite sure (it’s not clear...

yeah, numbers aren’t great, however, if there is a significant amount of surge testing in areas with high transmission/cases, you’d be expecting positivity rates to increase. Also, it would be interesting to see confirmed cases symptomatic v asymptomatic. I bet in the past they’d be heavily...

Yeah, kids holidays and good weather would’ve impacted ability to deliver (less volunteers, people away etc). Hoping it can get back up over 500k total per day

That’s a good point Nick. I’m not sure what many scientists, government and media expected. We were running at 2k-2.5k confirmed cases per day at the end of full lockdown, then since mid April people have been meeting up (nobody can tell me when it started pissing it down outside a boozer some...

Forgot about it only being a year away !! (lost the Covid year !). Would make sense for him to give it a go but all depends how we do I guess

Bit harsh, especially at international level. World Cup semi, nations cup final (for what it’s worth) and appears to have got players enjoying playing for England again. So, better than most England recent managers ! Soon find out tho I guess. Reckon it could be his last England tournament...
