This disease is a bastard because the outcome of getting it isn't just binary: die or fully recover. Those who advocate not doing anything and relying on herd immunity seem to believe it is. Even if we accept a 1-2% mortality rate (which is ten times or more higher than the flu), how can we accept 20% or higher of those who don't die having long term, maybe permanent, organ damage? https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-tragedy-of-the-post-covid-long-haulers-2020101521173 Published studies (see here and here) and surveys conducted by patient groups indicate that 50% to 80% of patients continue to have bothersome symptoms three months after the onset of COVID-19 — even after tests no longer detect virus in their body. Long-haulers include two groups of people affected by the virus: Those who experience some permanent damage to their lungs, heart, kidneys, or brain that may affect their ability to function. Those who continue to experience debilitating symptoms despite no detectable damage to these organs.

Just like last week!

As long as we don't play Everton in the next 3 matches I don't care if it's a 1 or 3 match ban. He got sent off, we won (in style), and KWP isn't injured. All's well that ends well.

He does that on purpose to jinx us. Bastard. The only thing that pisses me off more than that is when he predicts us to draw or lose.

His passing has been excellent in the last few matches. His confidence appears to be high, keen to bring the ball forward, and he's defending well. If only he was a bit faster than an oil tanker.

Yes, percentages are misleading. If the league only had 10 teams, with just one team going down, then only 10% of the teams would get relegated. Sounds good, until you realise the team finishing 10th goes down!

You missed a biggie: Parachute payments scrapped. So with 17th and 18th relegated, and 16th having a very good chance of joining them, this would sooner or later destroy clubs our size.

Yes, didn't scroll down. Cheers.

It's asking for registration.

Yes, it's like American sports where draws are illegal. When I tell them that cricket matches can last 5 days and often end in a draw they think we're insane.

Oi Ralph, we ended last season very well. There's an old saying from the southern United States: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

So let's hope it's not Obafemi.

His record playing for England is very good.

Archiving your posts from the Skates Takeover Saga Thread should free up a few terabytes!

Dodgy ratios there mate.

Every time this thread comes back to life I wonder if he's finally scored a goal. Or sold. I can't decide which is less likely.

Surprised there's no thread on this (maybe I missed it). Some real beauties there, but for me it's Ings' against Spurs (FA cup). Brilliant run by Redmond, and another sublime finish by the player of the year. Shame about the final score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24U454qJwLg

Or 30 of these. (The shit hole in the background, not the scooter).

I hope Leeds go straight back down. Apart from being horrible, they have the potential to become a well-established PL club, regularly taking up a top half table spot. Not good for smaller clubs like us.

Forget the scarf. I'm going to hold all my horses, and lock the barn door, until I'm convinced he's not another Vestergaard, Hoedt, Elyouseless or Lemina.

It's a bit silly to make predictions before the transfer window closes.

Klopp: "Dejan, you're a legend. Now piss off."

Usually people get it wrong the other way around: "I think we'll loose this weekend."
