    [Albion] The NHS V The Premier League - what is more important ?

    :facepalm: I'll bite. The PL tests are privately sourced and paid for by the PL, they have no impact on the number of test currently available to the country as a whole. As a proportion currently we are able to test 220,000 people daily, so 1,540,000 weekly the PL proportion of those tests is...

    [Albion] A week until the Premier League kicks off (again) - how's your footballing mojo?

    Very much looking forward to it, will be a welcome distraction from all the negativity of coronavirus and now the in fighting on BLM protests. So far the preparation has gone incredibly well, the testing has been a success and rather than increasing the risk to footballers and the wider...

    [TV] Little Britain Pulled from IPlayer

    Nor was it met with a flood of complaints, the BBC does more than most to guage public opinion on its content it even has a weekly show which discects viewers comments good and bad. If people weren't offended by it then why suddenly 10 years later has it become offensive?? Who are actually...

    Is no statue safe?

    I see Sadiq Khan announced this morning an urgent review into statues and monuments in London with a view to taking a great number down with racist connotations. I expect the likes of Churchill, the Duke of Wellington, Nelsons Column will be in grave danger.

    [Football] BAME managers

    One BAME manager in the PL currently so 5%, is a sorry state of affairs if you consider what % are BAME players. I'm with Raheem on this one and I'm certainly by no means a liberal leftie. Yes there are examples that have been bought up which demonstate isolated instances where BAME managers...

    [Albion] Albion's "Restart" fixture dates and TV coverage

    I anticipate massive audiences if the Germans are anything to go by, when football returned there they got highest ever ratings. Will be particularly interesting for BBC, who have to put it politely, not the most attractive of fixtures. Will they put them on BBC1 or BBC2?

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    The proof of the pudding is in the eating, footballers are not isolating unless they come into close proximity enough to be deemed at risk (according to the GPS trackers thet wear). If there is a spike at a training ground after someone has tested positive (possibly Tottenhasm this week) I'll...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    According to the govenment: Close contacts are: ◾people you spend 15 minutes or more with at a distance of less than 2m ◾people you have direct contact with - such as sexual partners, household members or people with whom you have had face-to-face conversations at a distance of less than 1m...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    I don't think that's correct. How do you define close contact? If someone tests positive in a typical workplace will they shut the entire premises down? They deem close contact to be in close proximity for 15 minutes or more I believe. All players are wearing GPS trackers so they can monitor...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    A Spurs player tested positive, very early days but since a return to contact training we've had 0 and 1 positive result, whereas previously we had 6, 2 and 4. This is all excellent news and shows if anything the return of football is not proving to be a health risk, it is a benefit, I am sure...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    According to the Atheltic on twitter a number of police forces have now made objections to clubs playing at their home games, could be a substantial amount more neutral games than what have already been mooted (no suggestion it includes us though).
