It seems fashionable to not miss football on here, a football forum of all places. So I’m going to go against the grain and say I miss it. But this re-start thing is a total farce.

He finally name-checked a Southampton based company, that I mentioned in here about a month ago, in response to the increased testing. What he failed to mention was that the company had its full test ready for use in February. Only taken until May for us to actually use it.

Think it’s just the public’s questions that they don’t see (which is a pointless exercise can I add). They know the journalists questions beforehand.

Yes, think we lost 1-0 to Liverpool.

Great stuff. Any chance you’re able to filter the players by years?

Completely forgot that I’m due refunds for Norwich and Watford! And the rest of the home league games.

They were truly rattled earlier in the week when we dared replay our embarrassment of them. Brilliant stuff, we’re rent free in their little heads even during lockdown.

It’s clearly the only logical thing left to do. Some things are bigger then finishing a football season and nearly 20,000 dead is one of them. Cancel it and wait to start the new season whenever we can.

Sad news

Trump is not a well man. Clearly has early dementia.

I’d forgotten about Birmingham! We were stood next to Chaplow in the away end. Remember not getting home until about 5am Sunday morning due to the roads. I don’t remember it being as cold as Wigan, but I was younger and more stupid then!

Wigan away in the cup a couple of years ago during the beast from the east. Meant to be get the train from Southampton but it as cancelled, so we drove to Basingstoke to connect into Birmingham from there. In our rush and haste, we were stood on the wrong bloody platform and missed the thing. So we jumped in a cab and got across to Reading station and then finally onto Wigan. I’ve never been so cold in my life, let alone at a football game. The ‘drive’ home from Basingstoke in the early hours of the Monday morning was interesting to say the least.

That report is truly damming, and it’s not exactly in the guardian is it. How on earth can anyone defend that sort of incompetence? The old ‘don’t turn this political’ just won’t wash.

Agree 100% but imagine the uproar.

Clapping is the new poppies isn’t it. Your typical Facebook mum bemoaning anyone who doesn’t dare join in. The scenes on Westminster Bridge yesterday were farcical.

Easily fat Chaz away at Fulham. He was an absolute disgrace that day. Not just the worst striker performance, but one of the worst from anyone I’ve ever seen in a Saints shirt at any level.

I think we can now all see why they’ve been hiding Priti Patel.

Still wondering why our borders remain open for all and sundry. Anyone can still fly in from New York, Spain, Italy. All without any screening, quarantine or test. Too far gone to make any difference?

There’s actually a test that gets results in 2 hours. It’s a company with labs in Southampton too (Novacyt). As a shareholder I’ve watched their share price go from 10p to £2 a share since this all started in China. I’ve kept my eye on them obviously extremely closely, and they gained CE mark for Europe in early February and now have FDA approval. They’re pretty much supplying most countries in the world now. The company were in discussions with PHE from January, make no mistake the tests have been available for months. Whatever the benefits or non benefits of testing NHS staff etc, the tests have always been available to us in far far greater numbers.

I think the government, after a shaky start, have handled it well so far. Important that continues.

Gove caught with his pants down lying over the reasons why we aren’t testing more. ‘Shortage of the chemicals needed’ is a load of old tosh, so what’s the real reason?

Not really a surprise Boris has it seeing as he was boasting about shaking all those hands in hospital a few weeks ago! Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s passed it to Vallance, Whitty and the Chancellor too.

Every time this discussion crops up, I always have a little chuckle at MLG’s username. And his spectrum tendencies.
