The R rate in Germany was 2.88 for about 24 hours a couple of weeks ago. The media were falling over themselves to report the impending doom.

Two days later and it was back down at 0.6. Not a mention of that anywhere.

The R rate is a load of nonsense if that’s the only data you’re looking at.

It's been successful to the extent that most PL players are non- white and many are black. That seems to have been accepted. Moreover, I think I'm right in saying that the England squad has a majority of black players. Quite successful in that respect wouldn't you say? I’m really not sure those are...

Poor Eddie. What on earth has gone so wrong for him this year.

4-0 down at home to Newcastle in a must win game.

I don't think it's terrible news. If I read it right, it's saying that the infection rate isn't going down as quickly as we thought but a far, far smaller proportion of the infections are serious - in other words, either the vulnerable are being protected, or the virus is losing potency. So good ne...

I find Alan Pardew to be the ultimate sleaze.

Phil Bird does a cracking job. Must be so difficult for him at the moment.

What was “very successful” about their anti racism message ? I haven’t heard many of the prominent black players describe it like that. If it was such a successful message do you not find it strange that black players (and white ones) have so embraced the black lives matter message ? An excellent p...

All officials need to have the full information so that they can take appropriate actions that save lives and jobs. The public also need to be given clear guidelines and rules with penalties for not following them. They also need to be made aware of any dangers that are out there. Correct. The only...

Professor Sikora gets a bad press from some, I think due to his views on the NHS that I've not seen but from what I've heard I wouldn't agree with. However, I find him to be an outstanding source of information and knowledge and I often check his tweets first when I want some news on the virus. He h...

Brentford have a lot of good players but there's a midfielder there, Norgaard, who generally goes unnoticed but does a hell of a lot of good work allowing their forwards to play. Very impressive.

Is this where you say that I shouldn't post on here anymore because you don't agree? You seem to be getting a bit to hot under the collar about what was obviously a half hearted comment.
Settle down it's just a MB

Well, that escalated quickly.

Pretty sure In a parallel universe where a Corbyn/Labour government got in power and handled the virus in exactly the same way as the current government, the only change to this MB would be the same posters now attacking this governments handling of everything would be defending and applauding how ...

ksrclaret: King of the backpedal

That’s so odd because that’s exactly what my old football coach used to tell me when I had to occasionally deputise in goal. His complaint was that I was often too far off my line.

ksrclaret

I'll believe you but suspect millions wouldn't Goodness me you really do have a huge chip on your shoulder. I think it was obvious to all and sundry what I meant there. The slogan I was referring to in my joke would only apply if the person was called Kate. Sorry if you took offence to it but there...

This doesn't work as a slogan at all. "A*s For Everybody" was much better.

I could always use them in tandem on the chance I get a Kate in my class who’s considerably weaker than the rest.

It's wonderful to see someone actually learning rather than criticizing just for the sake of it I think you're onto something here and it could pay dividends, not least from your peers who might see you as being proactive.

Maybe, Kate.

Makes me wonder how I’ve got through my career without a slogan at all.

I think I’ll start the new academic year with “An A* for everybody” plastered across my whiteboard.

ksrclaret

There's some truth in this. But I'm capable of recognizing excellent use of slogans in parties I do not support. Corbyn's "For the Many, Not the Few" worked well in 2017 because it appealed to people who felt marginalized or believed they were missing out. "Things can only get better" was a fantast...

ksrclaret

Only if you think people are stupid. I've found that the people who believe the slogan is more important than the actual policy are people who oppose the policy in the first place. And I also think your theory is nonsense. Let's examine three separate three-word slogans from the past few years: "Br...

If there is one thing we’ve realised over the last year or so, it’s that plans of action are nowhere near as important as 3 word slogans and soundbites. Especially since any plans that are put forward are done so without the intention of being followed through with, or without any thought as to how ...

Wayne Thomas was signed in the summer of 2005 by Steve Cotterill when he flew out to seal the deal to wherever Thomas was holidaying. Frank Sinclair signed a year before in the summer of 2004. I remember the first game of the 2004/05 season at home to Sheff Utd when the only senior outfield player o...

Wow. How on earth has Ben Mee been able to perform to such a high standard with that going on. I am lost for words.

I wish Ben and his daughter all the health, happiness and love in the world.

I was so impressed with McNeil in that no 10 role. We played some brilliant football in that first half with him pulling the strings.

I'd like to see that setup used next season (the rest of this season will be more about getting whatever side we can out on the pitch).

ksrclaret

So you are making a judgement based on heresay? Fair enough. I prefer facts and as yet no one knows what the problems have been and no one knows if Rigg is even involved. Hmm. Says the poster who believes everything is "resolved" because Bardsley signed a new deal. That seems like a judgement on he...

ksrclaret

So what does "Mike Rigg. Kindly do one, you have no business upsetting this apple cart." mean? Just a reference to what I've read online and on this board in the last couple of days where the suggestions are that Sean Dyche is unhappy with the influence Rigg has taken, which has presumably resulted...

I never realised just how good a footballer he is. Although somewhat limited, he can certainly do a job in midfield for us.

What you don't seem to realise is that we're short of players because of injuries, not because of Mike Rigg.

What you don't seem to realise is that I've never said or suggested any such thing.

ksrclaret

Worrying words from Dyche again after a magnificent performance where his lads gave him every ounce of effort they could.

If Garlick lets Dyche walk out, I don't think he'll ever be forgiven.

ksrclaret

Very impressed with him tonight in the first half. His one touch passing kept the ball moving very well.

ksrclaret

Did you see that shot he had near the end that nearly took out the corner flag?

Absolute shite he is.

ksrclaret

Will certainly have gone up even further in Steve Parish's estimations after that, I'd have thought.

Why do you assume the current unrest with Sean is anything to do with Mike Rigg? It isn't.

Why do you assume it isn't?

Plenty of information around to suggest that is the case.

Anyway, we won in magnificent style tonight so be happy.

ksrclaret

Beautiful passing moves in the first half and an astonishingly resolute defensive performance in the second half. What a perfect away win. All with 7 injuries and 3 left out of contract.

Mike Rigg. Kindly do one, you have no business upsetting this apple cart.

ksrclaret

Totally agree. Hugely pleasing to see us moving the ball around so comfortably.

Josh Brownhill has really impressed me.

ksrclaret

Brownhill's one touch passing has been excellent. Our tempo is much better as a result. He is going to be really good for us.

ksrclaret

I'm liking the way we're looking after the ball so far.

Appointing Allardyce is pretty much the only thing that would keep me from attending.

I don't want that fat, greasy, repulsive, corrupt crook anywhere near my club. Horrible man.

ksrclaret

Bloody hell fire look at that squad. Bare bones just doesn't cover it.

If we can get anything tonight I'll be absolutely delighted.

ksrclaret

What an absolutely sublime free kick from Ward-Prowse.

We were close to getting him at one point a couple of years ago? He’s fantastic.

ksrclaret

Just get shut of Rigg. He seems mostly useless anyway and there is nothing in his career history that contradicts that.

ksrclaret

It's funny because when we signed Pieters didn't Stoke fans tell us he was a decent defender but useless at crossing?

His crossing has been his biggest attribute for us!

ksrclaret

It always amuses me that not a single player has one positive word for Kevin Blackwell when they've been interviewed on that YouTube podcast by Jon Parkin and Chris Brown. I wonder what Warnock sees in him.

Speaking of that podcast; Ronnie Jepson would be a good one to interview.

ksrclaret

Liam Moore - Reading captain and CH.

Conor Hourihane - Aston Villa CM.

Should be two relatively easy to attain additions with good quality who would fit in nicely with our style.

ksrclaret

Heaton vs Watford (A) from a Troy Deeney effort has to be up there.

ksrclaret

Ben Mee could do with a good groom. But apart from that, he's immense.

ksrclaret

Emphatic no to Andre Gray.

Normally I'd give a yes to Deeney but I think we're fine up front when the injuries subside. The time to get Deeney was back in summer 2014 when we couldn't agree a deal.

ksrclaret

Certainly much more humble from Pearson than when we drew 2-2 with Leicester at the crisp bowl in 2014.
