The difference being that last year there was no vaccine and we had no choice in the matter.

Nice and Lemina announced this two days ago. Starting to think I might be right.

Nilsson brings them down a bit too but Anders’ missus probably makes up for that.

Yes, bravo, you’ve finally got it!! They’re the reason YOU need to get vaccinated, because if you don’t you’re far more likely to put people like that in hospital. What about the people who wore seatbelts and still died in car crashes?

Tell that to all the outpatients who’ve had treatments delayed because doctors and nurses are too busy dealing with people who, "don’t need the vaccine, it’s my personal choice."

It’s an item of clothing usually worn when our home shirt clashes with that of another team, but that’s not important right now.

VAR check on the former. wiki lists him variously as Tajik, Ukrainian and Soviet Union and he was here across the period when the USSR collapsed.

We’ve got hospitals and graveyards full of people who said that and every medical professional of any credibility is saying anyone who is able should get the vaccine; medically vulnerable or otherwise. Saints fans are a minority compared to Man Utd fans. I’m fine with that and I’m fine with this. That evil government department, the DVLA, won’t let you onto public roads unless you obtain a drivers license. Very exclusive of people who can’t be bothered doing a driving test they don’t need… except it isn’t. Being excluded means you have literally no way of being included, like putting signs on pubs saying, "no blacks." Anything you could overcome in ten minutes, for free, at a walk in vaccination centre is not ‘exclusion’.

Argentina for me. Two absolute nightmares, in Osvaldo and Carrillo. Gazza was pretty crap and Sarmiento did naff all.

I was just about to post something like this but you’ve saved me the bother. I’m baffled by the number of people who don’t know the difference between ‘human rights’ and ‘terms and conditions’.

😆 You're refusing to spend ten minutes of your life receiving a free vaccine, a privilege many in the developing world would give their right arm for. You are not Rosa Parks.

Yes. Seriously.

Smoking is banned in almost all public and commercial buildings. By that measure it is in fact a lot like Covid passports. Driving is a necessary part of daily life, being unvaccinated isn't. There are also laws governing all the major factors in road deaths; speed, drug and alcohol use, MOT requirements, driving tests, bans for point accumulation, seat belts. Driving is much MORE tightly regulated than simply needing a vaccine. I can't believe this still has to be explained but it simply isn't true. There is still risk to people, even if they're fully vaccinated, the whole point is to bring deaths down to a level which are comparable to a bad flu season. That number will depend largely on what percentage of the population is vaccinated and what percentage is walking around, spreading disease and acting as a living petri-dish for new variants to develop. Nobody is forcing you to get vaccinated but if you don't then you have a hand in killing people, whether you'd like to admit that or not.

I wouldn’t normally word it like this but I’m not sure Djenepo actually has a round hole.

Still nothing from Saints on social media, I wonder if we’ll just never announce anything like we did with Safri.

TBH it’s all just guess work based on internet rumours and hearsay. It could be a simple case of Occam’s razor - we don’t actually think he’s that good.

I had the Pfizer jab but I kind of want to get the new iPad mini when that comes out. A bit worried something may have gone wrong.

Not sure that's entirely true, we'll have had whole teams of coaches and analysts monitoring his career for years in the lead up to this decision. 22/23 is basically crunch time for a footballer, if you're not getting regular football by then you're probably not at the right level. Good luck to him.

Wearing trainers is a personal choice, don’t expect to get let into too many night clubs. If it’s a personal choice, you aren’t being excluded.

A worldwide global Illuminati which controls the way we think and they didn’t think to change one of their crisis actor’s Instagram handles to something other than ‘crisis actor’. Ignoring the fact that this bloke can’t spell ‘academy’ and there is no Oscar in such a category anyway.

When people say, "I could care less."

With hindsight, we were mathematically safe after we beat Liverpool in the New Years Day fixtures. I’d say that was fairly comfortable.

Fair point, from now on I’ll add ‘split’ to the title if stuff gets moved.

Remember in 2014 when we had to sell players just to get a loan from Athletico Madrid and sign a player from FC Twente…

If I leave it on the original thread - people complain If I just delete it - people complain If I split it off onto a separate thread and let people carry on - people complain If I drink three bottles of buckfast and run, naked, through a Bat Mitzvah - people complain I suppose the last one’s less relevant but the point is I can’t win, whatever I do, so you’ll just have to live with it.
