This is the biggest concern for me , Pearson was a centre half and a reasonably decent one yet our defence is awful 

You can’t polish a turd 

I get the impression he’s not that assed about being a football player. I think he’ll be one that drops down the leagues. He’s more interested in becoming an instagrammer

Guinness Zero is actually very good. I did a blind taste with our next door neighbour who is Guinness mad. The test was between Zero and Normal Guinness. Both in a can and both had the widget. He did not know one of them was non-alcoholic. He assumed it was from my Pinter!

He preferred the Zero saying it was slightly creamier. He couldn't believe it was Zero when I subsequently revealed the winning beer!

Thanks for the recommendation.

You’re right! It’s just like a normal Guinness

Coudnt really like Zero, I cant quite put my finger on it but it just tasted a little off. I also tried Koppaberg Mixed Fruit non alcolcolic cider as well, however whilst being tasty and almost like the real thing, it felt thicker and almost like you had to chew it down (Like I could actually taste the sugar in it)

I don’t drink cider because of the sugar content. Isn’t it Bulmers that has 5 teaspoons of sugar in a bottle

Any recommendations would be appreciated 

Tarquins Cornish Gin is a nice drink as is

Bathtub gin.

And Talksport will spend all Monday analysing the England performance against a pub team  

Bob Bolder 

danny drinkwater - especially after he got done for drink driving 

Hit him on the head, hit him on the head, hit him on the head with a baseball bat.

Always like The Imp. A proper back street boozer in Southville. Was great on a Sunday lunchtime back in the day. Always busy, meat raffle, sport etc 

Sad to see it now being turned into flats

The death rate amongst NHS workers aged 18 - 65 is no different to the whole population aged 18 - 65.

The higher death rate is in the retired NHS workers who returned to work to help and they should never have been asked to do this because they were always going to be far more vulnerable.

I think that's a scandal along with the NHS infecting care homes by sending out recovered patients to them before confirming that they were clear of the virus.

Was talking about the flu vaccine. Not Covid-19

vulnerable people and health care workers get them.

Yes we do. We vaccinate vulnerable people.

We won't know will we.  But we cannot stay locked down forever.  At some point the economic damage far outweighs that caused to health and actually makes succumbing to other illnesses more likely.  Tricky situation to be in and there is probably no right time to unlock.

Although, we aren't coming out of lockdown - you know that right?   We are relaxing a few of the restrictions in gradual phases. People have got their knickers in a twist about this, when it's simple.

We’ll be under some sort of lockdown for a while yet. Small adjustments will happen along the way. The term ‘ lifting the lockdown ‘ needs to be rephrased to adjusting the lockdown. 

Scotland extend lockdown for another 3 weeks

That's very good news. They relaxed restrictions 10 days or so ago successfully and today opened all shops. With Boris going ahead with relaxing restrictions from Monday it seems we are following the German route. Fully expect our Football to be given go ahead as well and more widespread restrictions lifted on Monday May 18th. We are getting there.

We’re miles behind Germany in this pandemic.

Cricket is waiting for an update on relaxation of lockdown and what social distancing will look like. The 16.4 (otherwise known as 'The Hundred') being the ECB's new flagship tournament has been postponed until 2021, it is widely accepted as likely that the county championship will either be abandoned for the season or will be revamped so far fewer games are played. The aim is for the 2020 domestic cup to take priority as games are quick and will make more from tv deals, if there is enough time in the season then the 50 over competition can also take place. Cricket has also received offers to be able to extend its season into Oct/Nov from places like UAE, Aus, NZ.

A lot of normal people have to do that to earn money for their family, or are footballers too precious to be treated like everyone else?

During a global pandemic?

I’m a self employed sole trader. The roads have been much busier the past 5 days or so. I’m not sure it was a good idea for the police to relax rules. I drove along Gloucester rd Saturday morning, I was surprised how many people were out and about. It’s not a proper lockdown is it?

Let’s be honest, I doubt it will ever be the same again.

WHO saying you might be able to catch covid again, if that’s the case nothing will be “normal” again until a vaccine is found. 

No vaccine for the common cold

No vaccine for HIV 

There’s no guarantee a vaccine will be found. Life will be very different for now
