I'm sensing this might not be a 0-0 after all...

Good job it doesn't usually take us around 9 games to get into our full stride...

Early mistake by Valery

Interesting to see Nathan Tella coming through at long last. He looked very promising after joining us from Arsenal academy but then seemed to drift away somewhat (I appreciate he's been injured for a significant proportion of that time though)

I got the new site the first time I fired up the forum on my laptop just now, but then it went back to the old site when I clicked on a link. And now it won't show the new site at all. Same on phone. Only way I can access it at the moment is via incognito browser. Looking good though.

(Wrong thread I know but "wot no 'other games' thread...?") Anyone got any links to a stream for the Villa v Sheff Utd game...?

Cheers WG Hmm... that was my fear.... seems a tad unfair for employees who had to be laid off before the scheme was announced who would otherwise have been furloughed had the scheme existed. That said, AFAIK, the cafe owner has only 'informally' laid off the employees so they may not have informed HMRC yet and therefore not techincally off the payroll yet. Who knows. Let's see how it pans out.

Quick question to anyone ITK.... Can a company refuse to furlough an employee if they deem it's easier just to lay them off? My daughter was 'laid off' from her job in a bakery/cafe (due to the Corona Virus situation) a couple of weeks ago, just before the Job Retention Scheme was announced by the chancellor. She's about to go back to the cafe owner to deduce what they intend doing as far as furloughng is concerned but I'm pre-empting what they might say in my question above.

Lady Trousers is in a similar position. She can do over 90% of her administration job on the phone or via email but her employer says they can't/won't provide her with access to the systems she needs from home. She happens to be in the 'pre-existing conditions' vulnerability group that's been told to isolate as much as possible, so on one hand she's got the Chief Medical Officer & Co strongly advising her to work from home and on the other hand her employer shrugging their shoulders. Name of her employer? The National Health Service.... Stick that one on your next record Alanis Morrisette... P.s. I'm also considered 'vulnerable' given I'm on immunosuppression meds for IBD condition, so there's me isolating myself at home whilst Lady T spends the day in a hospital building... How's that supposed to work...?

Indeed. 28th December this year.

Really? You don't think we should have started with the middle square? #schoolboyerror #ralphout #goingdown

A solid start from Saints. Not sure if we can sustain this for the whole game though. Cheeky insurance bet?

I'm not sure how setting fire to van Dijk would help matters anyway to be honest

I know this isn't the right time to be laughing, but....

This has got 0-0 written all over it

You could also apply that same analysis and conclusion to Jimmy Savile (for example)... #justsaying

And would have much higher if they'd given us access to the c.15,000 tickets that Carlisle couldn't flog
