    Messi leaving Barca

    I’d like to Messi come to the PL to see if his immense talent will still shine through as much in the most physically demanding top league in Europe.

    Harry Maguire arrested

    The treatment of sportspeople and their indiscretions is so skewed and inconsistent.

    Harry Maguire arrested

    This is the vitriol Lingard got last year for doing nothing.... ‘Man United should sack Jesse Lingard - he’s brought shame on the club’ Can only imagine what’s coming for Maguire can’t we....

    Chelsea

    Not got a good enough keeper and as Allison has proven for Liverpool a top drawer keeper is invaluable.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Any actions that reduce a potential risk for my child (and countless others) is a start for me - I know that this is going to be incredibly complicated and challenging for everyone. Their is still an absence of any kind of proper tracking setup in place, and basic measures like temperature...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Masks for kids in corridors and social time spaces is sensible (apart from a designated eating area for example) in a class is going to be the difficult one. The kids can’t socially distance in a classroom and at the moment as a teacher the guidance is to stay away at the front and not circulate...

    Match Thread Burton friendly

    Do you think? The guy will get a few hundred more followers out of it - which is the reason I assume he posted it in the first place and used the #pusb with his opinion to get attention. There’s no real pile on and seems to be good natured enough....

    So where to next? Man City seems too obvious.

    I would be pleased to see this put in place in England... just seems sensible. Scots pupils to wear face coverings from 31 August

    Laptops

    I went to a independent computer shop and bought a Lenovo Thinkpad (refurbed and cost £300) about 4 years ago. It’s bulky and ugly but by far the best laptop I’ve ever bought. Had it souped up with some decent RAM like shmmeee said and it runs like a dream. It survived working from home during...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I’m more impressed they could spot an asteroid that is only 2m wide 2 years ago.... that must be a typo.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I really hope you are right, but Clinton had similar polling at this point before 2016.

    Gnabry.

    I don’t get the Ozil hate. He’s the best ball player in that team by a country mile. Wenger also managed to get the best 3 years of Sanchez’s career out of him. But I agree about a lot of their signings... just not good enough for the level they wanted to play at. They always had a certain style...

    Nationalism

    It could have been worse - you could have been forced to go to church because your Mum decided we had to keep up the pretence of being religious so that we could go to a Catholic school. Every Sunday was shit for 5 years...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    No idea to be honest - we’ve not been told anything about this from either school or union. There was talk a couple of weeks ago about weekly/fortnightly tests but nothing has come through further on that. I do want the schools back open, but there are a few simple things that could go in place...

    2/3 weeks into the new school term we will learn a lot about how kids contribute to the virus spreading. I am crossing everything to hope it’s not an issue but I am ominous about it.

    I’m here looking at the situation in Northampton where I teach wondering if they are going to go into local lockdown. The rate is much higher than Birmingham currently. There seems little in terms of potential planning if they were to do some trade-offs to ensure schools open next month.
