    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Sort of a merge with the BLM/George Floyd and this there is the evidence that BAME groups are more susceptible to the virus being lethal and I've seen quite a few saying this is further proof of racism. Is that actually accurate? Do we know it's due to racism rather than just genetic...

    Sounds more like an RoI thing - they prefer pulling out to protection.

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    Not exactly the point I was trying to make. I'd be quite happy for English football to step back from the insanity of the money involved and see wages and transfer fees fall to something remotely like sanity, even if it did result in it having to downsize a bit. For some of those top clubs the...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Three of the worst responses (thus far) have been UK, US and Sweden. Of those two are steadfastly sticking to the "we've had a great response and done really well". One has said "we got it wrong". Guess which is which and what the common denominators are between them,......

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    Well that's a bit debateable. Many of the Russian oligarchs are there because of their support and backing of people like Putin, who do use those methods. Also a lot of links to organised crime. So they are indirectly involved as they allow others to use them that they toady up to for personal gain.

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    I agree. Also when you listen to oldies stories there favourite times are under JH, again when we were lower league. Of course it'd be nice to be winning at the very top end but give me season's like this over perennial struggles and losing more matches than we win every day of the week.

    A dilemma-what would you do?

    PL will approve. If they don't they'll put off other potential foreign investors (pretty much all of whom have a dodgy past somewhere) so the gravy train rumbles to a halt, massive wages and transfers become less affordable, better players go to other countries, TV/sponsorship goes down, wages...

    George Floyd

    Agree entirely. If you showed Trump those protests and the response of the authorities but told him it was somewhere in Africa he'd call it outrageous and say it needs democracy and regime change.

    George Floyd

    Fear is "I Can't Breathe" becomes the new "Hands Up, Don't Shoot". A short period of anger then everything dies down again. But with Trump in the WH, smartphones we could see flare ups happening far more regularly until it does eventually just break out into civil war. Quite a few states, esp...

    Do you need the corset edition rather than sports bra?

    Line up for championship next season

    If we're a league higher it will be even harder for them. Eccles may well get time on the bench. Newton I'm not sure but MR does seem to like him in a similar way he liked McCallum. Likes of Drysdale/Williams etc prob used in cup competitions, loans and U23. Up front I still think Ponti has the...

    Line up for championship next season

    I think the three at the back offers that bit more protection there but it does leave us exposed in the flanks a bit. Dabo is decent on the right so if we can get a good LWB, or Mason has added more attacking play to his game I can't see any reason why MR wouldn't start with this again next...

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    Although I do like O'Hare I still feel he was most effective coming off the bench against tired legs. That was in L1 so is he really ready to step up be a vital cog week-in week out a league above? I'm not sure. He's clearly got talent and willing to work hard but I think he needs a bit more...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    We have had our own shitty food as well - BSE for example. But it just seems to be going down the road I expected it to - get rid of the EU rules so we can just get told what to do by America instead. Bet they don't make any concessions about our stuff going over there which they think may be...
