Can't believe anyone is seriously suggesting we wouldn't want Chris Wood for £15m! That would be an INSANELY good deal. Which is why I am certain it's not happening.

Regarding the second part of your post, I think this is at least the fourth vaccine (including the Oxford one) that the UK has 'signed up' to. Vaccine development is very hit and miss I believe, so it's sensible bet-hedging. Also, given the volumes required, and manufacturing time even if they...

Tend to agree with you. It's definitely looking positive, and right now individual risk out there appears very low indeed. But without clarity on why we are seeing the trends we still need to be cautious, especially with the need to get schools back. If it's a demographic thing (mainly...

As friends and family who are teachers are always quick to point out, the education system already has major inequity built in - it's hard to avoid. Who gets better suport. The kid with two middle class parents, able to take the time to support them, encourage them, buy them whatever books and...

Well I would, but suspect it would be pointless. The subtle difference between 'theirs' and 'there's' is likely forever lost to that one.

(lfted shamelessly from twitter) Got to respect the Tories for doing the right thing All it took was for it to be pointed out that they were going to be deliberately giving an advantage rich kids over poor kids, see the system fail in Scotland, plough ahead anyway, get called dickheads for...

And also, presumably, who we are playing against as well? Eg when we play a team with big strong aggressive lumps up front. . Tactical use of two goalkeepers seems extremely radical though. Surely the established wisdom is to stick with one goalkeeper, so as to develop a good relationship with...

Whether it was the booze or not, we seemed to lose focus and missed out on the championship title as a result. It annoyed me. But it was a very small glitch in two otherwise fantastic Championship seasons in a row under Chris Hughton. We played superb attacking football. We went for...

How's it going up there in Leeds? Worried about this season - trying to survive with (so far) a weaker squad than you had in the Championship? And your (miracle working) manager not yet committed? I'd be worried more about all that rather than trying to troll people on another club's forum...

Ha. Whie I am enjoying the whole Ben White saga, and taking the piss out of Leeds, in this case my sympathy here is entirely with the 50+ year old f*ckwit. Sod the people in the big boat. Nobody should ever have that much money.

Well, I am a bit nervous about mentioning this. Maybe it has been discussed elsewhere and dismissed as being at a level with Mrs Brown's Boys. Generally my taste in comedy is impeccably correct but then occasionally I seem to veer off from the 'NSC consensus' (eg I like Michael McIntyre). But...

Oh FFS. As we have established (endlessly) on this thread, he clearly didn't 'make' Ben White. I am interested to hear about Bielsa. I Iike unusual characters in the game and especially ones that are driven by things other than money and who have principles. But you undermine the story with...

I also will be VERY interested to see how Bilboa get on in the Premier League next year. Personally I think they may struggle for a number of reasons.

With regard to symptomatic cases: Tim Spector, Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London, comments: "It’s encouraging to see that the numbers are coming down slightly across the UK and that the isolated outbreaks in the North of England appear to be well contained so far...

The coronavirus symptom tracker also strongly suggests that while the number of positive tests may be picking up, the number of people actually developing symptoms is dropping all the time. There are so many possible reasons for this (numbers going down, but testing more in total and testing...

I cannot think, for one moment, who you could possibly be referring to! (bravo)

More along the lines of 'if a manager proves themselves extremely competent, first in the Swedish leagues and then in the championship with (plucking a random name here) a team such as Swansea...then maybe it would be fair to assume that they might be a good bet to do well for a medium sized...

Agree with this. But I'd also add that in my mind Dunk has earned a chance to step up and play CL football and to be part of a team that can win trophies. Also, like it or not, he's more likely to get into the England team now from a top six club. Whereas White may have great potential, but...

As with many of the Leeds tweets we are laughing at, I am not sure he is entirely serious! (surely..?)

Puzzled by this, what else do you think has been filling the gaps beween tiles for the last 400 years?
