At least people have been able to arrive at IKEA at 5.40 am for 9 am opening and others have been able to wait in a 1,000 person queue. What the hell is wrong with them ? How can anyone be that desperate for a bit of cheap furniture ?

Just wait until all the McDonalds open.

Ben Mee was extremely lucky to keep his place after the first half of last season. When Hart got dropped after the Everton game I personally thought Gibson should have been given a go as well. Heaton coming back in would have sorted the captaincy situation out as well.

jrgbfc

He'd have to be willing to take a big pay cut you'd imagine.

jrgbfc

The first half of that season we were absolutely shocking. Lots of people want to make Hart the scapegoat, forgetting that in lots of games he saved us from getting an absolute hiding, Wolves away for example.

jrgbfc

Shackell might have been released simply because he was on too much money. Wasn't he captain at Lincoln?

jrgbfc

Can't wait for that first pint back in a pub. I can take it or leave it sat at home.

Heartbreaking, certainly for us that are properly into it and go week in week out.

Yeah I'm really missing not being able to go and have a pint on the Horsfield. Do you think they'll try and get some kind of 20/20 competition played in July/August?

jrgbfc

Such a shame about the cricket, especially with this weather we're having. Think the 20/20s were due to start on Friday as well. Would have been a good money spinner for clubs looking at the weather forecast.

jrgbfc

Would be a shame if he bows out at the end of this summer having had to play in empty stadiums. Next 2 winter tours are India and Australia, not sure how appealing they'll be for him tbh.

jrgbfc

I've definetely drunk less. I enjoy going out socialising and having a few pints. I do have a drink at home, but sitting there drinking on my own just doesn't interest me really.

Maybe Boris sees this as his own way out. He’s clearly not cut out for the amount of work and effort needed to lead a country.

I think he'll be gone by Xmas. He can claim he's achieved his main goal of "getting Brexit done", and bugger off leaving someone else to try and clean up the mess.

jrgbfc

The journalists need to learn to ask one specific question. Asking 3 or 4 things at once just makes it easy for them to waffle and completely avoid giving any straight answers.

The puppet sacking his puppeteer ain't gonna happen is it?

I don't see it either, imagine the dirt Cummings will have on this government. Boris is in a no win situation now really.

jrgbfc

As others have pointed out, Cummings and his wife are very wealthy, connected people. The suggestion that they had to drive 5 hours up to Durham and couldn't get any help in London is absurd.

jrgbfc

According to the Guardian Cummings isn't popular at all with the rank and file Tory MPs. I also get the feeling the older, traditional Tory voters won't be that keen on him. Will be interesting to see how the likes of the Daily Mail go tomorrow.

jrgbfc

No way he'll resign, and I don't see him being sacked, he's got too much power. The only way to get rid of him is at the ballot box, unfortunately it looks like we'll have to wait another 4 years

jrgbfc

I'm guessing the PM will be hiding in a fridge somewhere until he has to face Starmer at PMQs again. He should have the guts to come and do the press briefing today.

jrgbfc

If Cummings were to go they'd be no one to run the government.

jrgbfc

I assume Dominic Cummings will be forced to resign the same way the chief scientist was?

jrgbfc

I think short term they'll keep prices down to get people travelling again but in the longer term they'll probably rise, same with flights.

jrgbfc

Decent cover for McNeil.

jrgbfc

Even before all this I was starting to get fed up with the aggro of flying. Said I wanted to explore the UK more, so maybe Devon or Cornwall. I've only ever been to Newquay in that part of the world.

It's a disgrace how long the Adelphi has been stood looking like that.

Is the Adelphi the one up near Burnley Central station? Doesn't exactly give the best first impression of the town as the train pulls in.

jrgbfc

Would be happy to see the return of the death penalty for the culprit, instead of us taxpayers having to fund him to be in prison the rest of his life. Impossible to understand the mentality of people who commit crimes like this.

When does Sean's contract end?

Got 2 years left I think, so June 2022.

jrgbfc

Great film.

jrgbfc

I'm sure the Tory press have been busy trying to dig up some dirt on Starmer. If that's the best they can come up with they really are desperate.

jrgbfc

The Tories seem hell bent on no deal, despite the risks. The looming recession also gives them the perfect excuse. When their no deal Brexit turns into a disaster they'll just shrug their shoulders and blame it on the coronavirus.

jrgbfc

If we get up and running in this country I'd probably watch our games and that would be it. It's just not football without fans there, but I guess we're going to have to get used to it.

Reading that it makes you wonder what the hell has happened with Gibson

It's a lot easier to be happy when you're playing every week, rather than sitting there watching your career going down the toilet.

jrgbfc

It's a hell of a coincidence that most of the complaints seem to be coming from teams in a bit of relegation trouble. If they don't want to play furlough them. I reckon they'd soon change their tune if their wages dropped to 2,500 quid a month.

jrgbfc

Would the cynic in you suggest that a club like Burnley who are financially desperate for the season to restart will have instructed their players to fully support it no matter what concerns they have in order to help ensure it continues? The principle of the two scenarios is the same Maybe not ins...

jrgbfc

Looks like having BT Sport is finally going to come in handy! I'll be watching the Dortmund Schalke game at 2.30 I think. Hoping for a few goals.

jrgbfc

Players will soon change their tune if they have to be furloughed and their pay drops to 2,500 a month. The cynic in me suggests the clubs at the bottom have instructed their players to do all they can to get the season voided.

jrgbfc

The future is ‘ripping Boris apart’ during a global health and economic crisis. Opportunist point scoring I’d call it and to me it makes the Labour Party look weak and desperate. So what should Labour be doing exactly? Patting the Tories on the back, praising them for their absolute shambles of a r...

jrgbfc

I wouldn't personally class either Wright or Cole as world class. Neither were good enough to even force their way consistently into the England team even at their best. To me world class means a player who would get in pretty much any team in the world. I'd agree that Wright and Cole were nowhere ...

jrgbfc

What if it takes years to get a vaccine? There has to be a balance between protecting those who need it and allowing people to get on with their lives.

jrgbfc

If they opened the pubs tomorrow I'd definetely go for a pint. But I'd class myself as relatively young and healthy, I appreciate not everyone is in the same boat.

jrgbfc

Graham Branch went from being fairly unpopular to a bit of a cult hero in his final season or two.

jrgbfc

I agree with those that think Boris won't be there for the long haul. Too much hard work now, and he doesn't look like his hearts really in it to me. Plus his health scare gives him a convenient excuse to stand down.

jrgbfc

Looks like golf courses in England allowed to open from Wednesday. Can only play in household groups or alone though.

jrgbfc

I don't think any sensible, decent employer is going to expect everyone back tomorrow morning. I took it to mean go in if you can, or make preparations to be back as soon as you can.

jrgbfc

Tell the teams at the bottom if we can't restart they'll work out the final positions on a points per game average. 3 of the clubs would quickly change their minds.

jrgbfc

Will only work if there's a lot less traffic on the roads and it's done properly, rather than a half arsed token gesture. Look at the way it's done in places like Holland and Denmark.

jrgbfc

Saw something on social media, an 18 month old boy was bitten apparently. Hope they can find the dog and who it belongs to.

jrgbfc

If it is possible to keep people 2 metres apart then it should re-open on Monday. That would include most shops, garden centres, golf courses etc etc. If we wait another 3, 6, 9 or 12 weeks, nothing significant will change in that time, so why wait? Agree completely. Things like golf and fishing co...

jrgbfc

If he sees his contract out with us that will be 10 years, and I wouldn't be surprised if he felt he'd done all he can with us. If a decent offer in the Midlands or London came up I feel he'd definetely be tempted, allowing him to move back home with his family.

jrgbfc

They'll probably get away with it as well.

Fully paid up member of the Woke community and no connection whatsoever to the working people outside the bubble he lives in. Blames te system not criminals. just what the normal people of the UK don't want to see.

As opposed to those working class heroes like Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg.

If only they'd listened to the Up The Clarets brains trust...Never wrong on anything it seems. I don't get that argument at all. No one is forcing these people to be politicians. If you put yourself forward to be in government then I don't think a little bit of scrutiny from the public you're suppo...
