  1. Any Holloway demand will seem mightily insignificant if Garner takes them down. He is doing a mighty fine job of it thus far. But they said they wanted to 'kick on' remember? A football brain like yours should remember such a detail. No new manager coming in soon then. He will have to clean those toilets much faster in order to take in training and be in the tented dug out for match days not to mention running back to the kitchen to serve the half time refreshments and get the washing on before bed time.
  2. Sounds very very poor from Piers. I would have expected better.
  3. Not really helped Italy thus far though has it in all fairness! Oh deary me. We know this for a fact do we? One country reducing its intake of Chinese is never a bad thing. Lovely people the Armenians.
  4. Very much doubt it. Especially if the govt continue their sensible approach. Latin countries tend to be more family oriented and social and, although not this time of year, spend more time in family get together's. Might also be relevant here.
  5. I won't put down others either. Agree with that. People are free to do as they wish and should not be ridiculed regardless of their view. It's a real concern to all of us that much is true. How it is managed should be open to scrutiny.
  6. I disagree simply because not every family is in the unfortunate position to have a family member susceptible to catching any virus. And let's face it, it could be any virus if you are vulnerable.
  7. I would have to disagree with you there. You have proved my point from an earlier post... The numbers are all over the place. Basic hygiene is obviously something alien to many people.. how many times have you seen people go to a WC and walk out without washing their hands... I am sure most of us always do, I know I do. Flu or Covid 19... same precautions.
  8. Very well put. If one dies of Corona then 60 will die of flu... Those are the factual numbers. Not made up. So I suppose you could then argue never go out? Because if you do you are incredibly selfish. That seems to be your position.
  9. Maybe grass is a natural antibiotic? ? A little perspective is called for that is all. Annually we have between 290,000 and 650,000 deaths from flu. That's a about a 0.06% death rate of the 3 to 5 million contracting it. No hysteria there that I can see. We just take it in our stride. Covid 19 death rate, percentage wise, is much higher, obviously because it is a new strain and new strains always spike, but the recovery rate is fairly swift for the vast majority and the overall numbers are tiny and manageable. Will those rise? Yes clearly. Should we listen and act on hysteria? Of course not. I think the British govt response is far more sensible than the Italian, for example.
  10. I remember that goal well. Good old Malone.. his commentary was absolutely awful, so matter of fact and baritone but now I simply love it to bits because nobody does it like Malone.
  11. Sturney and Red's links illustrate what we are already seeing which is most people recovering after a few days just like flu because it is a flu albeit a new strain. Even though we have an antidote for flu people still die in very large numbers and yet we do not panic do we. The percentages frankly are all over the place and this is very misleading. The fact is people will die of all kinds of things no more and no less harmful than Covid 19 so it is no more dangerous IF you are ordinarily healthy because it is not a killer. What whips this up is the media. If there is no story out there they will find one. They always do so they have something to ram home day in day out. Govt's are then forced to act or the population go mad. That's modern society for you.
  12. No need to twist what I said or were you unable to comprehend. One or other. Like the other chap you have ever so slightly over egged what I said. The fact is there is no antidote but you are not going to die unless you are very weak or very unhealthy in which case of course stay away from a crowd much the same if you have flu which, even with an antidote, killed hundreds of thousands last year and does every year. Get a grip. Hysteria is beyond a joke. If you are seriously weak or ill. Otherwise get over it and get back to work. ... Exactly like flu.
  13. I abhor the over reaction from some governments. Yes this is serious even if in the time it's been around a multiple of 60 have died from flu. A new virus kills the meak until an antidote is found; for the rest of us it's an irritating flu we will recover from. We should all get on with our lives.
  14. So Villa are basically relegated then Pops? Pretty much are anyway I reckon.
  15. Looks like you chaps may have forced its closure:~ "This survey is not accepting additional responses at this time. Thank You!" ?? what a shame!
  16. Boris doesn't hang around changing those electoral boundaries does he.
  17. I suppose that explains his appalling command of the English language; its garbled and incoherent much like a fart. Perhaps not for Hill himself though.
  18. Agreed. One of the most open, if not the most, open countries in the world reporting every agonising detail that comes to light as far as friends and family are concerned; compare that to where the lad comes from; Argentina has a reputation for hiding the truth or suppressing it for as long as possible. The latter likely to be even more painful. In short, the news, of any kind, has to be aired however much it hurts.
  19. I did the same for Manila City. Started well until i was outed and now i am chained to a gas lamp until the money is paid back. Havana was better, i managed to get on a plane just before being nabbed for being a life long fan of Athletico Havana.
  20. He will take one look at Ashton Gate and realise he selected incorrectly. Next season he will pop up as a life long fan of Rochdale so that he can have a free tour of the northern parts. After that he'll be off to Airdrieonians in 2021.
