    Luckily, in general I have a stress free life, but supporting Saints is a different matter. They get under my skin, I can't help it they just do.
    Mrs Game and I are both STH so she's got the weekend off too, the shops are all hers.

    You can now keep up to date with Bournemouth and PFC. Hopefully, both win!

    Just to inject some controversy into this, maybe Mrs Game is also a Not606 poster, using an alias. Perhaps she secretly wants to be doing something else on matchdays, so she is trying to provide subliminal clues about her feelings. Have we finally unmasked (Insert poster name here)? <whistle>

    Reading comments from the Brentford manager, this morning.
    He said that he won’t state how many of their 13 Covid cases are players, unless the authorities make it mandatory for all clubs to do so, which kind of makes me think that the majority of their cases are non playing staff, or why not say.
    Interestingly, also, a sports journalist was writing about the match cancellations and querying how and why some are being cancelled as the rules, apparently, are that if you can name 14 fit players, one of whom is a goal keeper, then you can’t have a game called off because of Covid.
    On that basis alone, I would have thought that there should be no reason for any cancellations, because of Covid.

    Yes definitely seems very arbitrary but I suppose that’s in line with present COVID precautions.

    Hmm interesting theory, you may be on to something, I'll look over some older posts. Not that she's into subliminal clues, I'd know about it soon enough.

    We're all missing out on the critical thing here.

    Clearly this means I'll have to do another thread for whatever the next match might be, but because I've also done this thread already, we may lose the game before whenever we play Brentford, which will completely throw things out of the water.

    I'm here to tell you not to worry. It's all part of REVERSE THE MECHANISM.

    I’ve missed something. What mechanism is being reversed ?

    I reversed the mechanism with the last thread and the last game. My thread caused us to come from behind for the first time in about ever. Unfortunately my mechanism reversal machine is a little rusty, so we did revert to type by conceding again. I've given it a kick and we're back up and running.

    Is this an example of a Black Hole event horizon, where all things are equally possible, and not possible, at the same time (which is itself an illusion, lunchtime doubly so)?
    What we need is Schrodinger's Cat. Now if only I knew which box it is, and is also not, in.

    We could just carry on as if the match is going ahead. A sort of virtual match day thread, with virtual late equalisers and virtual meltdowns.

    Virtual kick off

    Tom: We've started well, we're playing some really good stuff.

    You missed the bit where Tom is appalled at the team selection, and we spend the hour before kickoff debating whether or not he’s right.

    We also need a couple of Virtual WUMs, so that other people could rise to their bait, and/or put them on ignore. Oh, and a great run by Shane Long, only to scuff his shot wide of the post...
