You’ve given us decades worth of material just in the last few years, so I think the thread would survive long after your demise.

It might have the largest circulation, but it now only sells just over 1 million. So around 1 in 60 people in the UK read it. People are not lying about reading it, it’s just the vast majority of people don’t read it.

Liverpool not being champions and Leeds and Swindon missing out on promotion?

?

To be fair to the 15ers they have been socially distancing at the Mem for a long time now.

?

The difference between us is that we want to be the best we can be. All they want is to be one place above us.

We already knew that Gas likes sponging.

There’s only one division between us and Liverpool, so we are basically European champions.

I genuinely saw that picture and thought it was a joke for a few seconds until I realised it was a real photo of their “stadium”. Unbelievably tinpot.

Interesting interview with a Premier League player on wages. https://www.football365.com/news/feature-premier-league-player-wage-cut-matt-hancock

Villa’s last major trophy: 1996 Birmingham’s last major trophy: 2011 Unlike us, you are living in your blue neighbour’s shadow. ?

It’d be called “Unlucky Da Shit!” and they’d be crowing about being on TV. Then there’d only be one episode as they go bust before the first game of the season.

Can you imagine the hilarity if the 15ers had a series like “Sunderland ‘till I Die”? Just imagine what goes on behind the scenes at that place. ?

The Gas phoenix

I can’t see it ever happening. There’s nothing in it for City, we don’t need them. And for Rovers? They would never want to support a club that plays at Ashton Gate owned by Steve Lansdown. If the 15ers go bust, then they either disappear or a small phoenix club will be formed.

£24m? That’s nothing to Wael, he does have an expensive watch you know.

True, I didn’t think of that. It’ll be interesting when this is over to see if there has been a big reduction in other things. Are norovirus cases down? Are car accidents down? Etc. Although I guess those things will be balanced out with accidents in the home. My stepdad almost electrocuted himself while drilling a wall the other day.

They do, but that’s using the South Sudan Pound.

You’re right that we don’t know the actual mortality rate. But when it comes to risk, people (myself included!) make big mistakes. Making up some numbers, if 99% of “at risk” people die and 1% of “no risk” people die, then in a population of millions/billions you’ll still have lots of over 70s surviving and lots of under 30s dying. I think a lot of us have assumed we’re safe and are just worrying about older loved ones. But we are not necessarily going to be personally ok, it’s just our age group that will be mostly ok.

No age group has a monopoly on stupidity/selfishness. My grandmother is still adamant that she’ll go out whenever she wants. My mum and my uncle are trying to make her listen, but they’ve got no chance. Yesterday I had to go out for milk. I saw a large group of teenagers playing basketball together. People just don’t listen.

Yeah. I think most people are decent and caring. But we have a very loud minority who just don’t care about anybody else.
