Cycling near a Second house he is renting.

it’s a not the nine o’clock news sketch!

The government are to recommend cycling to work on Sunday.
I see the first part of the 'story ' used the disclaimer "reported", ie they have no idea.

My dad didn't make it. Passed lastnight. Sister works in a care home and told me they haven't tested her. Just told her to self isolate for 14 days. Fucking madness.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. RIP

Jeez Kyle - what a train wreck...

Does he not realize he has completely discounted any other player's concern about returning to the pitch?

it’s a shame there isn’t football on the TV to watch to keep Kyle occupied!

No. They’re journalists. That’s their job. Actually most see themselves as key workers.

It’s how we see the news each day.

They are key workers on an official level.

Some clearly abuse their privilege

Post of the year right there Tolmie, thank.you for putting so succinctly what we all feel towards each other.

hopefully when this is all put to bed, we will remember this kindred spirit and carry it on

Yes I get all that but the numpty isn't helping himself and we know the press are wankers, more importantly so does he.

He be in more danger contracting the virus going down to the shops and the people are holding out outside his place to get an article are scum.

You can take the player out of Spurs, but you can't take the Spurs out of player, it seems.

Martyn Ziegler reporting that FA will insist on relegation - even if football does not resume.

Players will be getting tested regularly and will be isolated from contact from wider society to an extent so it's not as risky as playing football against some random group in a park. This would be a highly monitored group. In Italy players from Sampdoria and Fiorentina have been found to have the virus and they'll be quarantined presumably. If a lot of players in the UK have it then that will scupper it and make in unworkable. We'll see.
