A lot of interesting perspective from neutrals here.... https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/s790z5/postmatch_thread_brighton_11_chelsea/ Everyone's impressed with our wingbacks that's for sure.

Went there with the wife 5 years ago as it was the only pub in town that I could find that sold classic British food. Most of the pubs in Brighton seem to offer up Thai food or vegan muck these days.

I guess it seems weird to me cos I live in Japan where it could also be said that no one gives a shit about masks. They just wear them. No fuss.

To be pro-vaccine but anti-mask is a bit strange.

I’d say if people voted en masse for a lying demonstrably incompetent buffoon, and said buffoon then proceeds to eff up the country, how they voted becomes (and affects) everybody’s business.

I see a lot of these types of people on https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/. Trump made a political issue out of a pandemic and now they are dropping like flies all over the Red States. Sad really.

I always get the general impression that pretty much anybody involved in active hooliganry couldn't actually fight their way out of a paper bag.

It's binary thinking. They "won" and it's all over now. The paper told them so. The fact that the prize is a shit sandwich doesn't matter a jot. They're chowing down on that bad boy with gusto. And now they have the appropriate smell coming out of their mouths when they keep telling people to...

See they’ve pushed the start date for import controls from July the 22nd next year to November 22nd. I wonder if they can kick this particular can down the road all the way til after the next election. Cos this is when the British public are really gonna realise what they voted for.

Palace.

I see Frost/Boris and co have backed down over Article 16. The whole thing reminds me of a toddler having a tantrum in the sweet aisle of the supermarket. While the parents standby with their arms folded, tapping their feet waiting for it to end. "Have you finished now? Good, now get back in...

Ryanair delisted from London Stock Exchange... https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/nov/01/ryanair-profit-cut-winter-ticket-prices-loss-covid

Giant shit slick off the coast of Bognor. Looks tasty. I read that this is to do with supply chains for the chemicals to treat raw sewage. The UK cannot get enough due to Brexit and the pandemic, so the Environmental Agency has relaxed rules in place against dumping it in the river and sea...

Not even had a full cap yet. I suspect regular starts for USG will get him there though. Nearly all Japan's midfielders play in Europe at similar level or higher so there's actually quite a lot of competition. He isn't a shoe in yet.

Dunno if I've got this right but here goes.... https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2021/09/23/986cb70a-d9dc-4f98-9012-7fd292da4467/PL_2021_22_Handbook_DIGITAL_23.09.pdf So he needs 15 points. Belgian top tier is band 2. Table 6 (p. 629) seems to say a player gets 10...

He didn't make the squad for Japan's upcoming WC qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and Australia...... https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210928-japan-name-squad-for-world-cup-qualifiers If we're waiting on him getting enough Japan caps to qualify for a work permit it may be a while.

I’ve heard that some professional sports in the US have told their players that any time sidelined due to COVID will be unpaid. Essentially freezing their pay until they are available for selection again...

Yeah cos having a known high chance of your lungs being scarred for life (from the virus) is way better for an athlete than the slight possibly that they may possibly have some kind of long term effect that we may possibly not know about yet. :rolleyes:

It's surely going to affect next year's CL campaign if over half the players can't travel abroad! :lolol:

I'm not linking to their shitty website but there's a reddit discussion about it here.... https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/pu5ge8/premier_league_clubs_fear_the_season_could/ They say that Wolves, Brentford and Leeds are the exceptions and have their players between 89 and 100% vaxxed...
