Watching ' Legend ' ( Tom Hardy playing Ron/Reg ) and hearing ' Little Miss Lonely ' sung by Helen Shapiro. Hard to believe that this girl was 14 years old when she had her first hits. What a voice. What a bloody voice.
On the basis that the wait for pubs and football is too long ( 2021 at the earliest ) I will aim for a medium term target, social distancing permitting.. A drive to a fairly quiet part of the coastline and a walk (with my partner ) breathing in that glorious sea air and enjoying the fabulous...
I don't show boat any virtue. I get my head down and keep working hard, in a vital industry, through this crisis, to try and help others. I did read the article. I think its too early to discuss or consider any sort of return, even behind closed doors. Its ridiculous league chairmen meeting in...
Easy in opposition at times of national crisis. Agree with the government where it is sensitive. Bide your time for the odd slip up and wade in. Not involved in any big decision making. No pressure, no scrutiny. Just sound good at the right time. Great time to take over.
I think we can all ' get by ' with a few games behind closed doors ( e.g finishing off this season ) but the prospect of watching the majority, if not all, of next season, in empty stadiums fills me with dread. Plus it will be the death knell for many smaller clubs.
Difficult to comprehend such an early start when its pretty obvious that large gatherings ( sport/music etc ) are not going to be allowed in the UK until sometime in 2021. I've said it before and I will repeat it...I am not going back to football until an approved vaccine has been widely...
You really need to take a long hard look at yourself.
In these perilous times, with services stretched, people fighting for their lives and the world facing its biggest crisis for 80 odd years, you come out with sad, petty and ignorant language like this. I hope to God that this is a wind up...
More than some key workers get in 5 years!
We all know that football exists in an economic micro bubble. It generally continues in an upward curve irrespective of world affairs. Will this threat to all our lives restore a sense of perspective? I doubt it. Are we living without football? Yes. Are...
By all means buy an available ST but you won't be watching any football in the near future. Certainly not in 2020. Even if the football authorities are mad or greedy enough to sanction a return later this year, many will not attend matches until they have been vaccinated, so there will be plenty...
Well that would have to be the start of 21/22 season. Which obviously means no football next season. You can get away with a few games behind closed doors. You cannot play a whole season like that. We have to be sensible and realistic. Unless we can return to a position of previous normality...
Loved the Bobby Moore footage on this thread. Have always tried to imagine a Moore/Duncan Edwards CB partnership. Would have been awesome. Probably would have won the World Cup in 62', although Moore was only just starting then. Bobby's balance and reading of the game made him, in my book, the...
Fancy a bet on that?
Not a prayer. I am surprised that any event, attended by thousands, in close proximity to each other, is even being rescheduled for this year ( French Open, Masters etc ) The next football season will not start on time and its debatable whether its viable at all. There is...
We will all be getting a shock at the next Budget ( whenever ) I reckon there will be at least 5% on all levels of income tax. ( April 21 ) There has to be. Huge holes in the Exchequer have to be filled. It can't all be borrowed. Its the only way to maintain public services at a reasonable...
Exactly.
There is an arrogance and lack of respect in certain parts of our society that has been growing over a few decades.Thrown in a lot of ignorance and there is your cocktail. A self-centred section of society, who do what they want, when they want and if you don't like it, tough luck. Life...
