Imo...if you are fit, healthy, young...let's go about our business as usual. If vulnerable...take precautions. No...it's not fair. Life isn't fair. We didn't ask for this. But how is it fair that the majority of people have to change for a minority. Minority rule these days it seems. No need to hide from society...just be more cautious. They want us to work from home, buy online, not socialise. Wtf...really...think about the long term affects of that. This could go on forever.

The flu vaccines are developed each year on the main virus. In the meantime it mutates by the time you receive the next jab. It's futile, continually playing catch up. Yes...I'd rather the Government made a stand long term rather than short term. Everything I've said is true. We are a nation of fat, obese, unhealthy people, that develop health issues. Mainly down to diet, lack of exercise. You can vaccine, booster as much as you like...it won't make any difference in the long run. People will catch it and won't be able to fight it because of underlying health issues brought on by themselves. No one forces you to eat another donut...but we could be forced to put something in our body, jab, some of us don't want, because many abuse themselves. Thanks for that. I've got a vaccine passport thank you.

It's not a clichés...I witness it everyday...and hear the conversations. ?

This is going to piss a lot of people off...but be offended...sticks and stones. ? We all get it...all of us...those who are disabled through no fault of their own. I've lost my dad this year and about to lose my mum...both through cancer. This past two years has been hell dealing with hospitals and Drs, putting off normal procedures because of covid. Often people with covid with underlying health issues brought on by themselves. I go to my local post office every day for work. I'll tell you what pisses me off...the amount of people, the same, in their motobility scooters, spilling out of them, waddling into Weatherspoons, drinking and eating shit, getting fatter, running to the vape shop when it rains, yes running, claiming from the post office on a Monday getting £10 out at a time from the till ? going in the betting shop... Continual drinking and eating shit. Getting fatter and Ill. Then expecting the vaccine to work and blaming the Government for incompetence. Sick of seeing a great number of people giving themselves health issues by living shit lives. I call it the triangle of doom...spoons, betting shop, vape shop, post office, tanning shop, doctors surgery...and if anyone is feeling active...a Gregg's 200 m away. Too many people in this country living like this, happy to, and not willing to change and help themselves. And all they do is blame everyone else for their problems. Watching Joe Wicks and Jamie Oliver on TV talking about how to keep healthy, whilst sat on their sofa eating a bucket of chicken and noshing a dominoes ?? wtf ..that's what we've become as a nation. No wonder so many die when they catch covid from underlying health issues brought on by themselves. Perhaps the Government should make it mandatory that we should eat healthier, exercise and get outdoors and breath fresh air...instead of smoking, getting pissed, eating shit, getting fat and ill, then complaining they've caught covid and hospitalised and can't breath. Not saying this is your situation...but for every personal situation, there is another one. What pisses me off the most is people that complain about everything and everyone, but aren't willing to change their own situation. Just take...add nothing to society, yet complain the most. ?

Deaths involving and due to Influenza and Pneumonia, England and Wales, deaths registered in 2020 and 2021. These are the summed totals for Week 1 2020 to week 53 (ending 1st January 2021): Deaths involving influenza and Pneumonia: 111,957 deaths Deaths due to Influenza and pneumonia: 20,523 deaths Copy and pasted from Gov.uk I wonder as Harry is trying to find out, what the stats are for covid... Amazing we as a population aren't scared and in fear of Flu when 112,000 die WITH it.

Spread himself too thin...jack of all trades, master of none. When asked about Bristol City...the reply is ...' well the men's team etc'. As every year goes by, he comes across as someone who had a great idea and belief, but made massive mistakes along the way. Had more money than sense...decided he wanted to leave a legacy. Football, men's, womens, Basketball, Rugby, Lando ( although from horse's mouth, no money involved, just promotion for both ) car racing etc. Spread himself too thin...not focused on anything in particular. Tbh...it all comes across as a rich man's play thing, and is more involved with Botswana and wild animal welfare. No bad thing. Imo...it's a project that hasn't been fulfilled and leaving would be seen as failure. So it's a no win situation. Great being successful at other businesses, but surely he must sit down sometimes and contemplate where it's gone wrong. As a successful businessman you would. However...admitting failure, however hard you try, just doesn't come naturally to some people who are exceedingly successful at other ventures. Doing so would be seen as negative against the prospect of further business investments.

Why don't you actually watch the video of him talking. He says 'with'... ??

And you just talk shite.

I know...thanks Vorders ???

It's definitely a weird one. As of three hours ago... according to Javed on Sky News, no deaths from Omicron in UK, and 10 people in hospital with it in England. The vast majority of people in ICU are double vaccinated. ?

F1 has become a farce. Racing comes last. Pit stops, tyres, pit strategy, safety car, red flags, stewards etc etc..racing is now at a premium. Today's result was the equivalent of being 3 up, and the ref deciding it's going to penalties instead and VAR taking over. F1 has all the ingredients to be a great sport...spoilt by rules and regs. Let them friggin race, make cars suitable for racing and tracks that allow passing. It's not rocket science is it.

Yes...go about your life and proceed with caution. Wear a mask if you want. Vaccine if you want. And if you have underlying health issues proceed with even more caution. We don't need the restrictions in place now though that don't make any sense. There is no need for a passport for a vaccine, and why be made to wear a mask in a supermarket when I can sing and dance elsewhere, drink in packed pub, go to the enclosed gym and breath heavily inside there. People think you are the most selfish person if I walk around supermarket with no mask...but I can be sat next to said person in packed pub, enclosed sharing drinks etc. It's mental.

I'm not...your comment of ' I know people' doesn't hold. So do I...and all of them disagree. If people on front line disagree, what hope do we have. My father was in Southmead at the height of restrictions with Brain Tumor. When I went to visit, the place was virtually empty. Never seen a hospital so quiet. So we all have different experiences. The one thing that's obvious, is that we've all become divided, all become 'experts' depending on who we listen to, all have made our own decisions based on those we listen too. Fact is...we are becoming less human. Don't mix is the mantra...avoid people. If that isn't going to screw us up long term then I don't know what is. On a side note...anyone thinking Scientists, experts don't have an angle then they are severely naive. All are paid by organisations, Governments, Pharmaceutical industries etc that have people that make vast amounts of money from this scenario. There is no reason they want to this situation to conclude, it's in their benefit. It's the same as when we have wars...people die, but a lot of people who aren't affected by the war make Billions from them. We live in a world of agenda and lies. And it's Joe public that bares the brunt of it.

The virus doesn't choose to be different from country to country. We are all humans. It affects us the same way. The ' experts' do agree it's mild. Seriously this is not about health and spreading anymore. The government listen to the experts, then put in rules that don't make any sense. It's totally symbolic. You've got world leaders mixing, putting on masks for the cameras, then taking them off when meeting others, shaking hands and hugging. Why anyone else can't see this amazes me. These Governments, world leaders listen to the experts and scientists first hand. They get all the info. Yet they don't abide by the rules they set for us. As human beings, you would do as advised by the Scientists. You wouldn't ignore it. So why are the Government going about their lives like there is nothing to worry about...they aren't in fear of getting ill. What do they know that we don't. They would comply whole heartedly if otherwise for their own health.

The Scientist in South Africa who warned about the mutation, said it's mild. Others have followed. Even on the mainstream news this morning, the _ expert' said there has been no hospitalisation due to the variant. We are having to abide by rules that just take the piss. Masks in cinemas, theatre etc, yet take them off to sing your head off at church :laugh: Go to pub, restaurant or gym...no masks. If this was about not spreading it then those rules wouldn't apply. It's a joke.

Hospitals aren't being overrun. This variant has very mild symptoms. You get it and recover at home. The people vulnerable are those with underlying health issues like diabetes. They'd be hospitalised like most years if they caught the flu. There is no reason to bring in more restrictions. Two years now...new mutations, new boosters, it just goes on and on. Are you willing to go through the rest of your life living this way? Because it's not going away...ever. It will mutate every year, just like the flu. There will be new vaccines every year, just like flu. Politicians lie to us everyday...funnily we are outraged the most because of a few parties. We should be outraged everyday at their lies. Oddly we know they lie, manipulate media, pay people etc etc. It's been the way of Governments for ever. Yet the population believe every word coming out of their mouths on this issue. Without question..just follow. How divided we all have become.

And people moan about prices now...30 years ago...wtf ?

Can anyone else remember the stall in the Late 70s, just before the old ticket office, that sold lots of shirts and paraphernalia from the newish formed American League, where lots of older Pros went to play? NASL. I remember wanting a California Surf shirt :laugh: Sold lots of other clubs kits too, as well as badges, pendants, cloth patches, scarf's etc etc I do remember getting an autographed photo of George Best from it.

Problem with public transport is... you've got to share it with the public. Last time I used the bus, some bloke got on next to me with a rotisserie chicken and proceeded to eat it like an apple. Some girl nearer the front then started to talk on the phone loudly about her gynaecology appointment with the Dr. Some wanted the window open...others didn't. I'm sat at the back burning from the engine. Other times Drunks, shouting, fights, just not a nice experience. Catch 22

Reason it worked for us yesterday, is because we took the lead. Derby tried to pull us forward to create gaps. We stood fast. It would have bee a different story if we were losing or looking for a goal. The facts are...if you are out of possession you are having to work physically and mentally harder. Said before...it's no coincidence we've conceded many times at the end of games. Players are physically and mentally tired. We did well out of possession yesterday, but it massively helped being a goal up.

I had a similar occasion. Sat next to him in the coffee shop. Like you say, it was all about him. And for some odd reason he was putting on a cockney accent. Absolutely full of shit.

That's because we average approx 35% possession and 65% pass success most games. Players are knackered. It's no surprise we concede late most games. It's ridiculous.

Genetics have a lot to do with what fitness level you can achieve, keep and be constant. Then you have to have the right attitude. My point in all my posts in this thread has been about Britton not being genetically able to get to the fitness level required, regardless of good training and attitude. The same can be said of former players mentioned in the thread. How many skillful players have we seen over the years that aren't natural athletes, have the fat gene, or other physical negatives..Molby, Gascoigne, Tomlin etc etc Over the years watching, it's noted how many players that are extremely skillful naturally aren't physically gifted. It's a common theme.

Exactly... however Le Tissier wasn't considered an athlete back then. That's my point...back then you could play to a high level with natural ability, but less natural fitness. Today you can't. If Le Tissier had more fitness back then, I'm sure he would have played more Internationals.

I'm on about fitness. Le Tissier wouldn't get in any Championship now. You can't compare fitness levels to the past. If you had flair and skill like Le Tissier, but not an ability to run for 90 mins, you could get away with it back then. In fact if you had skill like him, you could actually use it to overcome lack of fitness. To a greater degree...that's why you saw more ' ballers' back then.
