    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Good news, my 89 year old Mum had her Pfizer jab today in Caterham. Six nurses doing a jab every five minutes fantastic effort. Also well done to the local volunteers who have been marshalling the old folk in sub zero temperatures.

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    My 89 year old Mum is booked in tomorrow(Sunday), she is delighted as she currently has cabin fever. Several friends parents have had two jabs, it's a bit slow in East Surrey but the Council offices in Oxted are opening next week as a new centre. It's all very encouraging news.

    [Misc] Does anyone know someone who has a face mask exemption ?

    Working in a plumbers merchant today we turned away three customers for not wearing any face covering. Before sending them away we do ask them if they have any exemption and all three said no. We requested that they come back with a face covering. It's a difficult decision as business is...

    Using the calculator when can you expect to be vaccinated?

    November/December for me (I'm 57) I presume my first jab will be 12 weeks before so August / September. I'm sure they will be working round the clock but that's a bit disappointing.

    Boris Johnson 8pm televised address - official match thread

    8.10pm Keir Starmer smugly telling the nation " I told you so" and claiming a moral victory. I'm going to watch Only Connect on BBC2.

    [Football] Premier League Covid party players... what shoud happen?

    If you think players are role models you will only end up be disappointed, many top flight players simply don't give a monkies about the fans and hence their behaviour. The club's run scared of the players and won't enforce any serious punishment as they want the player's on side.

    [Albion] Potter In or Out

    I like the fact that the football on display is a vast improvement and at times pleasing on the eye. Been a bit unlucky with injuries but the signings of Lallana and Welbeck was always a gamble, Potter's fault? My main reason for fence is the continuous rotation of the starting XI, yes injuries...

    [Albion] Hopefully not the end of Hodgson

    Palace supporting friend of mine is "calling a taxi for Roy" on social media, I asked was it for an essential journey as Roy being over seventy is classified as vunerable. Funny this chap has been asking for more expansive football under Roy and when Roy changes the formation with Zaha, Eze...

    [Drinking] Pre Christmas Dat Drinkies

    Got four London Pride from the local pub, just opened a bottle of homemade Damson Vodka. My customers kindly gave me a couple of cases of Stella, could get messy as I haven't had a beer since 27th November (don't normally drink at home).

    [Football] Bissouma to Real Madrid

    We currently can't afford to release our best players, release the fringe players to make room for better in January. I'm sure at some stage Biss, Lamptey and White will move on but now is not the right time.

    [Albion] The Official Potter In / Out thread

    Shame no fence in the poll. Currently I'm Potter in as I can see a marked improvement in style just concerned with the results. I really hope after training the players stay for an extra couple of hours daily and work on finishing as it doesn't seen to be coming naturally to us.

    [Albion] Pick one thing to blame

    This! Credit where it's due we are trying to play the passing game but we are just a bit slow and predictable.

    [Albion] Has to be done - Potter In or Out?

    I like Potterball but something isn't right at present and for me tonight the selection was so wrong. Playing a team with pace we put out a team lacking in pace. Potter got it wrong, Gross and Jahanbash are a luxury and against a team like Leicester were seriously exposed. For these reasons...

    [Albion] Just how bad has Sheffield United's start been?

    Fine margins, they don't get stuffed only losing games by the odd game. They need a striker or a manager who will gamble playing two or three up top.

    [News] Tier Two for most of England

    Further North in the Tandridge area our figures have been very low until the last two weeks where we have rocketed up the league table. In Caterham four have had positive tests in my wife's company, five teachers and several pupils with positive tests have forced a school to close. Even in my...

    [Albion] Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    At least the game is on Amazon and not the customary two minute delay of Hesgoals. Shame Propper isn't quite ready thought him and Bissouma were excellent at Wolves away and complimented each other really well. A tough game but Fulham showed Leicester have a few weaknesses. Keep Vardy quiet...

    [Cricket] 1st ODI - SA v Eng Cape Town : 11am kick-off - *called off due to Covid*

    Just bring the team back home. This just highlights what an excellent job the ECB did with the home series in the summer. It must be hard on the players being away from families at Christmas and the possibility of having to self isolate in a hotel room. Just come back home.
