I get you don't rate her. Plenty do and they aren’t all nats. Put your prejudice to one side and watch her daily press conference and compare it to Westminster. If you still think she is lacking then I can’t help you.

Struggle to watch her. Completely distracted by the ugliest signers standing just behind her. Every one has been battered with the ugly stick. Wonder why they can't be moved further away and superimposed in the corner of someone elses TV?

Whilst there is no easy answer on how to do it I think Sheffield United will have a lot to say if they are snubbed, game in hand and all that. They are not part of the cosy cartel than kowtow to the rags and the others. If the Premier League nominated the Rags ahead of them I could see it ending up in court.

Dirty Arab money, say no more

What are the odd on that. Perhaps I should have used paddy O'fuckinracisttwat instead.

We will not be returning to normal in the near future. That could mean anywhere from 1 month to 2/3 months from the end of this 3 week lockdown. Assuming that it is 3 months from the end of this lockdown, this would take it to August before things will look anywhere near normal. The last thing to be released from lockdown will in all probability be team sports. Like Football, Rugby, etc..

I could see sports like Golf/Tennis being allowed first as long as there is no more that 2 playing together at anyone time. This is just a guess by me that team sports will be allowed somewhere around the end August/early September. This providing that we do not get another increase from the coronavirus. This may happen if footballers are coming in from where the coronavirus is still having an impact, and they are also allowed to leave to resume playing.

If they are not allowed to leave some teams will be decimated and maybe have to play with teams that are nowhere near full strength. This will have a huge impact on the final places of the Premier League

All international cricket in this country now postponed until July 1st at the earliest yet our football authorities still insist that they can start playing before then !

Problem with football is there is no leader who is going to be fair and say it straight they are all patsy.

The decision on the 100 hasn’t been made yet.

I'm pretty sure that one of the two senior medics who accompany Ministers at the daily COVID-19 televised briefings said something like there may be a need for some form of Lockdown to continue for another twelve months. How does the Prem and UEFA square that with their crackpot plans to restart the Prem and Champions League ? Like I've said before, people are dying in the most horrific way and those in charge of football are having conversations about the financial impact of not being able to play matches...…….
