I’d personally be wary of keeping players for reasons like that. We’ve already given Long a token contract because he tries hard and is a nice lad in the dressing room. For me, the jury is still out. A decent enough start but I’d want to see a bit more from him to warrant giving a 32 year old what would be a pretty beefy contract. I’ve always said he left too early and I stick by that. He’d only made his debut a few months before we sold him and instead of playing competitive first team football, he ended up stuck in their reserves for the next 6 months.

The more people who don’t have it, the more potential hosts are walking around allowing it to spread and mutate until eventually we get a strain which the vaccine can’t protect us from. Some people who desperately want the vaccine won’t be able to have it for other medical reasons, people who are already at increased risk from the virus. As hypo says, if it passes safety checks and you refuse based on nothing more than principles you’ve acquired from Karen on buzzfeed, you’re a bellend.

Looks like the tiniest flicker of a thought that he might not have won may have entered his head.

There’s a definite ‘Bruno Fernandes (pen)’ on the scoresheet, so we need at least two to win it. I’m not confident personally, if there’re two fixtures we just don’t win it’s United at home and Everton away.

Well, it’s a decent place to get a point but oh Theo...

I’d rather he hadn’t crossed then, if I’m honest.

When you bring on Long because ‘he’s great at defending from the front’ but it has absolutely no effect on the game at all.

We’ve lost the plot now, only one winner from here.

No, THEY need to do some self reflection as players. If they crumble like terrified children because of a few old boys tutting into their prawn sandwiches, that’s on them, not us.

F**k me Walcott!

But no 9-0 mention yet, unless I missed it in the run up to kick off.

Ooooh, the spin just took it away there.

That’s certainly the game I’m watching. Final ball not there yet but playing our game well.

Worth a go. It was never a pen but if the ref had given it I doubt the var ref would have the bottle to overturn him.

Djenepo had space to do a lot better there.

Asleep following that in, well done Mecca.

Come on boys!

If a vaccine kills 10,000 people in Britain, it’s still a hell of a lot safer than actually catching the virus.

Qantas become the first airline to confirm you wont be able to travel with them, on international flights at least, without proof of vaccine.

Richard Osman. Seems to be on every show on TV despite not actually being entertaining or funny, just ‘quite knowledgeable’.

You’d need 2 seats anyway after all those ribs.

When I first read this bit, I thought you were going to mention a bloke I see semi-regularly, wearing the same pink hot pants, a tank top, beret and terrible body odour.

It's hardly a new problem. I remember a game in the United/Mourinho era where injuries forced him into playing four or five reserve players, who would all have been our record signing. It's tough being a big club.

Where are we all on cancelling Xmas then? I’m all for it, let’s have a proper Aussie Xmas in June with some nice weather and test cricket, after everyone has had their jabs.

That isn’t consistency, they are different circumstances. A footballer breaking his ankle or a roofer falling off a ladder could be argued as being self inflicted in much the same way as an obese smoker. Refusing a vaccine is different in the fact that you’ve actively refused treatment, leading to much more expensive treatment being needed. Anyway, I don’t think they should be denied treatment either, so there’s no point in us arguing.
