  1. Cech Srna Kompany Maldini Chivu Le Tissier Makelele Xavi Giggs Lewandowski Rebrov VAR check please. Been watching since the early 2000s but I’m sure there are a couple of better options I could have picked. Much harder than it looks; I went for the best one club wonders I could think of (Maldini, Tiss, Xavi, Giggs). Rebrov was the best I could think of who didn’t conflict with the other players. Went through loads of players in my head and every time ended up conflicting with someone else. Edit: f**k, Makélélé and Cech doesn’t work. Let me think...
  2. Basically Pompey fans tend not to wash and have terrible body odour. They’re also drunk, overweight, violent, physically unattractive and struggle with basic pronunciation and sentence structure. These are all traits regarded by many as being synonymous with proper, old school fans and it reminds them of the halcyon days of yesteryear.
  3. Please do not use this forum to discuss rumours you may or may not have seen on social media, with regards to the private life of Yan Valery. That is all.
  4. Clearly I know loonier, leftier lefty loons than you. One of them was sharing a petition to get the transition process extended as if a) We haven't got more important stuff to worry about and b) That hadn't occurred to anyone in the government anyway.
  5. We were supposed to be enduring our annual defeat at Goodison this afternoon. Not so.
  6. People setting off lanterns, which then burn downs barns and injure livestock after the dry weather seems to be being reported too. As for the pay rise, I doubt there will be anything left in the kitty to give them much, once this is all under control.
  7. It was a cup game six years ago, when Mané and everyone else played properly crap. As usual a few gobsh*tes in the ground and on the forum overreacted and Turkish has dined out on it since.
  8. Just good old fashioned virtue signalling, people having to outdo each other to show they're the most socially caring, selfless blah blah blah.
  9. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of Norwich, getting in early with Van Wolfswinkle?
  10. Have also been scarifying and aerating my lawn, which thankfully is a long and drawn out process and will keep me occupied for several weeks. Anyone recommend a website for quality grass seed at a reasonable price?
  11. It's not, you're right. I think it's a trade off between spreading the virus and the mental/physical benefits of going out for a run or cycle. If we weren't able to control the virus as it is and the government banned outdoor exercise for a brief period, I wouldn't argue with that.
  12. Because if you allow sunbathing, people will go out specifically for that purpose and meet in groups, have a beer together etc. From a containment POV, it’s better not to allow anyone out the house at all, be it for exercise, to buy food or otherwise. Clearly those two are both necessary so you can’t ban them, sunbathing is not and you’re basically putting lives at risk for a bit of a tan.
  13. Last four home games binned off. More time to converse with Saintswebbers Saving a bit of money on petrol, gym and Sky subscription Completed Pornhub
  14. How is it melodramatic? Those people have died, I am quoting a literal, actual number of fatalities. Yes, most of them had health issues, that doesn’t mean their deaths don’t count. You can’t put a bomb in an old folks home and say, "ah f**k it, half of them wouldn’t have made it to Christmas anyway." My aunt has a history of lung problems and is at risk from Covid19, her GP has advised her to isolate for 12 weeks. Without it she could live another 20 years.
  15. I would say if you live in an urban area, to the nearest decent green and open space where you could do some exercise. My example is probably on the upper limits of what I’d deem acceptable as there are plenty of green spaces and parks within the M25. I didn’t realise it was as far as 48 miles from Lewisham, I kind of thought it was about 25 but that’s not really my point. Someone living in Ocean Village should be allowed to drive to the common or Netley Park for a decent walk but not head up the A34 and across to the Brecon Beacons.
  16. Could have been
  17. Almost all of them will be Brits who have been traveling abroad before all this kicked off and need to get home. Many of them have probably been through hell - quarantined, embassies closed off, curfews, running out of food, clothes and money etc. There will also be those who genuinely do need to travel and there reason for doing so will outweigh the risk of infection. It’s not as if we have planes full of Spaniards coming here for a weekend in Margate.
  18. Everywhere has the disease to some extent but we should still be trying to contain the spread as much as we can. As an extreme example, would you want a plane with 300 people to land at SOU this afternoon and have all the passengers spread out through the city?
  19. Because they’ve come into contact, either directly or indirectly, with someone who had the virus. The more people travel around, the more easily it’s spread. Some travel and contact is unavoidable, travelling from Middlesex to the Lakes is completely unnecessary. If they lived in Lewisham or Croydon and they’d driven down the A3 to Ockham common for a walk, I could tolerate that. There’s no need to stop at any services, use any shops, you’re staying roughly in the same area and just trying to get some basic exercise. What this family did goes way beyond that an is completely unnecessary. If you don’t put a stop to this sort of thing, everywhere becomes an inner city ‘hotspot’.
  20. So how have 135,000 people ended up in a wooden box?
  21. What I am saying is that there is no modern version which is different to Christianity in the 15th Century. It’s still the same book, there has been no new research or an up to date version published after Jesus’ visit to Memphis in 1993. It still says the exact same nutty stuff in the Bible. People just choose the bits which fit with their lives, as they always have done. I could quite easily read the bible a few times and find some obscure passages which say I should only eat beef on a Tuesday and wear an orange hat at all times and call that Christianity because it suits me.
  22. There is no 'Christianity today'. All there is is a 2000 year old story book and a whole bunch of interpretations of what it should mean, which people generally fudge to fit around their lifestyles. They basically say whatever it takes to keep the general public vaguely engaged because if they stuck to their original script they'd be obsolete and laughed out of town.
  23. Yes, it's been covered already in the last few pages why. Shopping is essential, exercise is certainly recommended, they are both different to making a purely recreational trip hundreds of miles.
  24. What punishment would fit deliberately putting lives in danger?
  25. So another club falls into the clutches of a foreign, despot regimes investment fund. We must be up to about 12 clubs now who reckon they’re going to spend their way into 4 Champions League places. Give it a couple of years, the Geordies will have spent £300m and still be about 13th.
