There are some e-scooter trials going on around the country, but they are limited to 15.5 mph. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/e-scooter-trials-guidance-for-users#:~:text=Redditch-,Speed%20limits,to%20a%20lower%20maximum%20speed. They seem potentially quite useful for short urban journeys and I've...

Scratching my head at this statement. Dortmund have never come close to winning the UEFA Youth League. I wonder if they meant the U19 Bundesliga. They are the current champions.

I think we get it. You're not a fan. I'm not a big fan of drivers using their phones to be honest.

I think people probably need to be aware of their own biases when looking for evidence to support or disprove whether referee bias is real or not. This study supports the theory that successful teams benefit from referee bias: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fspor.2020.00019/full...

Didn't a similar thing happen against Arsenal at home last season? My recollection is that Maupay scored the winner just as the added time was supposedly up. But Arsenal not only had time to kick off, they played on for 2 more minutes or possibly more, although I think perhaps there was a...

Small sample, so cannot draw any real conclusions, especially as it's so skewed by Man Utd's +7, but: Big 6 +1.17 The rest -0.38 If that continues then it's going to be harder to argue that this is just down to randomness. Maybe it only has a tiny over effect a season, but when you consider...

Preparation to produce this vaccine, and presumably others too, in sufficient scale to immunise hundreds of millions is being done in parallel. If and when approval is achieved mass production will quickly follow...

Whilst the rising infection rate has understandably been disappointing news, paradoxically it could mean we know the results of vaccine clinical trials sooner and potentially accelerate their approval and distribution. Low levels of infection have been a headache for the phase III trials...

Not as insignificant as you might think for the big boys. They have much higher proportions of their income from gate receipts than the rest so they are harder hit. The "big 6" trousered £495m in 2018/19 in match day income. For Arsenal that was 24% of their income. By the time this stupid...

In ordinary times, on his trajectory, in 12 months, £40m + would need to be offered as an opening gambit just to get a conversation started IMO and £50m-£60m would not be out of the question. However, all clubs are taking a big hit with Covid-19 of course so the market might be a bit subdued for...

I've been trying to think of an Albion player that has been consistently such a joy to watch. And he's yet to notch up 1000 minutes of senior football. If you can't get any pleasure from watching Lamptey play then football probably isn't for you.

But how does that solve the problem of pollution? Airlines should surely be paying for cost of negating the environmental damage they cause? And that ultimately means higher fares for passengers, or at least some of them. A frequent flyer tax could, in theory, raise enough money to offset these...

I realise that you are using Thalidomide as an example and are not solely focused on the effects on the unborn, but I doubt any vaccine would initially be made available to anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. These are pretty standard exclusion criteria for clinical trials, so without any data to...

Which led to loss of life. The use of "only" makes it sound like a trivial misdemeanour.

Exactly my thinking. Sancho went to Dortmund for a similar sum with no senior minutes at all. Now worth £80m + Lamptey had 31 minutes of PL football and 14 minutes of FA cup experience before joining us. Once players gain experience and prove themselves then pretty soon we can't afford them...

Apparently stalling on a new contract at Arsenal because he's not convinced there's a pathway to the first team. Having Lamptey rapidly integrated into the first team could work in our favour if there's any truth to the story. Could be a match made in heaven. Would love to see him here. Arguably...

I think Potter is more likely to use Molumby than Sanders. Sanders hasn't played higher than League One yet, so a championship loan would be the preferred next challenge for him IMO. I wouldn't rule out a load abroad for Molumby either.

I think Southern Water might be a bit more amenable to helping out on a temporary basis given the circumstances. Although the agreement with Sussex Uni is for 1100, I think there are probably more available on that site too. I suppose the council might consider some limited parking in Stanmer...

2100 according to a recent planning application. They are obliged to provide a minimum of 1500 and maximum of 3000 spaces. So they could provide an additional 900 without falling foul of any planning conditions if they can find them. I know they have attempted to gain permission from Southern...
