Was it family connections? - Kinda Location? - Spread Eagle pub A memorable game? - Watched pen shootout in Simod Cup run from our top room. Most memorable game is still Wimbledon at home on Boxing Day. Went on my own, lashing with rain, not sure I've ever been so miserable at footy Lifelong thing? ...

At tonight's Govt briefing Dominic Rabb gave these stats 65,077 Cases 16,784 Hospitalised 07,978 Died in Hospital 01,500 Critical (this figure not yet given for today, so approximate based on yesterday) This shows that a staggering 47.53% of hospital cases are dying . When the critical cases and th...

And for the love of all that is good in the world, can you please start fukking quoting properly!

Please don't take that as me defending Snowball and his mental stats !

Clearly, you don't under sampling Attack me if you want (with your biased samples), but I politely made the point that you have not provided solid evidence to substantiate your claims about large numbers of people dying. You trash the work of Oxford University because it doesn't fit your beliefs, b...

"Plus many countries (UK and US) aren't testing properly anymore, so that stat is even more pointless." Disagree. We have a population of confirmed cases and from that population it appears 16% die. The fact that these are more severe cases seems to be irrelevant. I don't particularly car...

Anyone care to place a bet that the actual death rate for the total population falls in the UK this year?

I think it will

Its because those two stats don't include the people who have yet to have an outcome Plus many countries (UK and US) aren't testing properly anymore, so that stat is even more pointless. We will only know what the CFR is when the seroepidemiology studies are done to get data on the spread of communi...

Linden Jones' Tash Germany has 3 X more ICU beds per head of population than the UK also

Is that because they put towels on them ?

state of play: flu deaths this winter (so far) = 109,000 (no lock down, no panic and happens every year ) Corona virus deaths (so far) = 14,700 (lock down, massive panic, destroying world economy, one off event ) Just shows that people are pricks for not taking flu seriously If one thing comes from...

I prefer zonal marking in general. URGomesAICMFP Zonal marking is what nearly everyone has used nearly all the time for at least fifteen years. These days you only really see man marking: - At set pieces - To deal with a specific threat (e.g. Jorginho under Sarri) - As an extremely defensive strate...

And no matter how much people think they can be magic'd out of thin air, the machines/labs/kits are simply not there to do the testing now its ramped up

UK is using the standard WHO test, with a few minor tweaks depending on the hospital lab

But there are only so many machines to run the tests on and so many labs in which to do them

I think Boris was misleading or mistaken when he said 250,000 a day would be being tested. That would be almost two million a week, the whole UK population in 264 days. AND unless they’ve changed the test they would still miss 40% of positives. If 66M were tested and 80% (50M) had it the current te...

Fukk taking an experimental vaccine before its been through animal safety trials

Would be typical if a rushed vaccine gives loads of people Guillain-Barre Syndrome...…. or actually exacerbates the infection like the RSV vaccine a few decades ago

Behind-closed-doors football can fukk right off.

Just cancel the Olympics and extend the season.....

Great play by Puscas in the build up to the third. He's definitely coming good, even without getting on the scoresheet today. What's really impressive is that, whilst people are rightly praising Pele's finish, he also made the original clearance out of our box before bombing 80yds downfield to be o...

What was with that 1st half performance? It was just so insipid Swift was beyond atrocious, and everyone else looked like they'd forgotten the plan. Just before HT there was a passage of play on our left where the ball was just played in a triangle between Richards, Ejaria and Swift (?) for about 2 ...

Nice idea, can't see it being implemented though
