Had two be said

Well, it's bounced up a bit on that system, but given how it works I'd assume at a very local level a small increase in people reporting symptoms could lead to a bounce in predicted cases quite easily. And it is just predicted based on people self reporting, not actual, positve tests. All of...

Some big companies (Costa, Pret) and owners of very lucrative city centre (mainly London) property, both business and residential, will be putting a lot of pressure on government to get people back into city centre offices. A long term move to WFH will cause a reduction in property value. And...

He does have something about him, and I don't mean in a good way. I know he's Danish (right?) but there's a Germanic louche vibe in terms of clothing, posture, gum, that is quite unappealing.

The covid symptom study is indicating that overall, aross the UK, things have been pretty steady (and low) for a few weeks (up to the 26th July) now, but with a lot of variation at local level. So it certainly looks like the increased positive tests is likely down to more targeted testing and...

Ok, now I am impressed. Making Leeds the Champions of Argentina is quite a feat, for all kinds of reasons!

I am sure Bielsa is a very good coach (although 'best in world' seems to be pushing it at this stage). And that is why he knows full well what he needs to succeed in the premier league. As he did in the championship. And he knows full well that he isn't actually magic, and cannot be successful...

Jeez KW, don't bother! We are from BRIGHTON. Land of the out-of-work actor and aromatherapy entrepreneur. Where everybody is writing a novel (or something...'the structure is more free-form really, ya'). In a 'who's got the most pretentious fans' competition there is only ever going to be one...

Christ, don't tempt fate!

He's clearly Newport through and through. Why would he ever want to go anywhere else after that kind of support and adulation? It is clear that he bleeds (checks photo again) yellow and black.

Errrmm, it was news to me. I don't really bet and have no idea how odds like that worked, so immediately thought the bookies might have information that he had refused to sign a new contract, or handed in a transfer request or something.

Agree completely with your analysis. And especially your first line. Lockdown has been no big deal for us with gardens, and that can work from home, and have some savings to fall back on if need be. And yes, the system is still here, and is already trying to re-assert itself more than ever...

As noted already, what people say (or maybe don't say in the case of Messi?) is neither here nor there. Not least as many (myself included) would say that Chris Hughton, while hugely respected in football circles, has never been given the wider credit or attention that he deserved. For a number...

Indeed. First season up, seeing Liverpools front three in action, live and close up. Bloody hell.

Name me something (and I mean this 100% genuinely) that Bielsa has done, apart from being Argentinian, that makes him any better than, say, Chris Hughton? And in case you aren't already aware I suggest that you check Hughton's record in terms of getting teams up from the championship, the way...

Although that poster did redeem themselves somewhat with post #50

My thinking entirely. 'Mr Bielsa says no need to buy anyone new up front as he's going to turn Patrick Bamford into a top premier league striker' 'Righto, I'll put the cheque book away then' 'Oh, also, Brighton seem to be implying they want Ben White, but haven't told us how much they are...
