I was in Portugal last week - not sure if rules have changed subsequently - but I didn’t have to show a vax certificate (unlike Germany the week before, where you must show it at very venue). Mask wearing in both countries seemed close to 100% from what I saw

Me too. Drove forward well a number of times

Lots of people from Poland siting around me. No problems at all. Not even sure who they were supporting truth be told. Kinda of showed what might be possible for football if it weren't for the small minority of people amongst us who get a bit carried away when inside a football ground.

Napoli have never been good chasers and Spartak can take the new ball soon. That’s if bad light doesn’t intervene

I was convinced this would be the day of JJ's return, so I'm a bit gutted

I'm 55 and I'm having my booster on Tuesday. I do so with no shadow of doubt. I'd urge you to do the same

Yes, it is all in the name of the pandemic. You're veering into conspiracy theory if you think governments across the world are colluding as part of some dubious reset. Government is to an extent there to create rules. (smoking, seatbelts, speed limits, drink driving etc etc). Sadly Covid is another significant life threatening disease, therefore governments need to act and in some cases curb our liberties in order to try and limit the death toll. So yes, even though I loathe our Govt, I do believe this is in the name of protecting our health.

Weller me old son you are one of the most reliably grumpy posters we have. Make sure you are back on here pronto with some super charged grumps. That’s a blooming’ order.

Yes, the Bournemouth collapse led to me sitting at the bottom of the garden as the darkness gathered, literally and metaphorically. Utterly unhinged reaction on my part, but I've always been like that. I do think the joy of a win outlasts the gloom of a defeat, happily!

So in the last set of 7 games (5 in the League and 2 in Europe) our record is: P|7 W3 D3 L1. Includes two games against so called Big 6 teams. Whilst for the most part we have been way off our best, that's doesn't look too shabby. Just trying to provide a bit of perspective and all that me duck
