Baird of the land

Using the kid as a potential crash test dummy is just his judgement of responsible parenting.

Wonder are they off the sister in laws xmas card list by implying she was completely unsuitable/uncaring that they had to travel the length of the country to find someone to do some shopping for them.

It's completely about lockdown rules. If he does resign it would have no derailing impact on Tory Brexit majority.

Really does makes a mockery of things that govt is trying to sell message that its absolutely fine to travel the length of the country whilst ill, spreading the infection.

Absolutely horrendous imo. Would love to see a return of the sort of Hummel late 80's 'inspired danish kit' personally.

Seems pretty pointless to be comparing a worst example of a seasonal flu strain with a couple of months of covid numbers(which have also been affected by efforts to suppress)

Does baffle me seeing videos of people queuing for hours in their cars for a Mcdonalds.

Bad faith has repeatedly been shown by UK. Sign up to something, get in a strop that they signed up to it. Sign up to something else, then have the PM repeatedly lie during election about what they'd signed up to. In for more of the same if latest evidence of UK govt positioning is much to go on.

what's the situation with Ralph. Is he back or just going to be overseeing training remotely.

Pre Coronavirus i'd have expected him to be off. Now he may just see out his contract.

We really are going to back to normal with UK govt getting huffy at EU insistence of negotiating on basis of what the UK agreed.

So what if we could have got more for Adams in January. By the same logic we would have had to pay more to replace him. Just imagine the fur ore on here if the club had simply banked the money leaving us critically short upfront.

It would be a shame to lose him. Not sure he’s done enough to got a champions league move but can probably get a fringe club with more resources than saints currently have with Gao. In the post Covid time period I wonder if swap deals might become more popular to avoid transfer fees. If so might be wise to try and do a deal with likes of Everton/Newcastle bringing a midfielder the other way rather than waiting for his contract to run down.

Think they’ve handled a very tricky situation rather poorly.

As a kid i just remember being infuriated at Alan Ball's departure. Very interesting to hear all complexities surrounding his time as manager as well as all the stuff regarding his initial time with the youngsters.

A 33 year old on high wages. I can see why in the current climate they would decide against a renewal until at least there's some clarity in terms of when football will restart.

I'd vastly preferring voiding or deciding based on avg current points. The joy of a new season is starting fresh.

This attempt by the govt to change the messaging to the meaningless 'stay alert' doesn't seem to be going down well.

Seems like they caught it early fortunately.

The latest BBC headline that some clubs would be more open to neutral venues if relegation was removed.. If there's not going to be relegation the restart would be even more of a joke notion.

Disagree, with Stephens imo it was clear from the start he was very talented. His issue has always been cutting out stupid lapses and errors. Haven't seen anything except perhaps that one cross for Vestergaard from Danso.

McCarthy Clyne - Toby - Virgil - Bertrand Morgan - Cork Mane - Davis - Tadic Lambert

Curious what is going to happen with long. Before Coronavirus you would have assumed there would have likely been a renewal but one less wage to pay over this extended break if we don’t may tip the balance the other way.

I’d completely forgotten we had John Burridge in goal at one point.
