    Wasps downward spiral...

    In the long term I think the council has played a blinder in regard to protecting its own interests in the Arena. They've effectively sold the lease twice for a cumulative total of £40m which is quadruple their actual net investment in building it.

    Coventry United Ladies

    The women's game is just a reflection of the men's game really, dominated by the clubs affiliated to the oligarchy men's clubs. Can't see how it is sustainable as a professional game really.

    Things that annoy you

    Having booked odd days off this week which means I'll have worked Monday, Wednesday and Friday, yet on the Tuesday and Thursday have had the feeling that I've already broken up for Christmas. Fuck off.

    There is no lockdown here Nick. Vaccines enabled the UK to lift restrictions in July, without them we'd be nowhere.

    They see people who need to be seen. My daughter had two same day appointments the other week after a telephone triage.

    They are a pharmaceutical company, what do you expect? They're just responding to market demands like any successful company does. What's "protect the NHS" got to do with Pfizer?

    Pfizer aren't the ones identifying the new variants.

    Not wanting to burst any balloons but while the Omicron might be less severe it still causes a significant impact, 50% increase in hospitalisations in 3 weeks isn't to be sniffed at

    What that they're first in the queue again for another dose of a vaccine that half the world hasn't had one of? People are entitled wankers if you ask me

    Jamie Allen signs new Contract

    I like Allen but not sure it needs the fanfare every time. Come back when they've tied down some players who are more likely to be in demand from other clubs.

    Don't they think that you're at your most infectious pre symptoms, sure I've read that. There is definitely some inherent susceptibility to it.
