    If a player doesn't want to play or train, then that's fine as long as they are prepared to give up their wage, the same as most of the country has to do, a few players are just lazy ****s who want money for nothing IMO.

    And exhibiting a real Dunkirk spirit, not.

    If PL players don’t want to risk taking it home to risk infecting their families as some have suggested, let them do what a number of front-line staff have had to do and self-isolate away from their loved ones. They are far better paid than most at this point in their career so can afford to.

    Let's face it we had a situation created by government and social media where the majority of people are scared of their own shadow. Based on the ons figures we all know who is likely to perish of cv19 and it isn't pampered footballers.

    According to the ons figures, the current number of cv19 deaths of people under 60 with no underlining health issues in 356.

    As at 2nd May, the number of people to commit suicide since lockdown started is 372, of which 367 were under 60.

    Thought about it. Indeed, hoped that season ticket holders that waive a refund might get a freebie test on the new machine. :)

    What exactly are you trying to say here, TC? Are you implying that lockdown has directly caused these suicides, or are you drawing attention to the lockdown lowering the number of expected suicides?

    Have done mine.

    Waiting for the result from a lab in London which I should receive by email anyday now.

    Paid £49 so thought it worth the outlay...not expecting a positive test result.

    The no underlying bit is the main point there TC, bet at least half of the population have a underlying health issue near 60.

    It's the fact that healthy under 60s are more likely to kill themselves than die from covid.

    I am purely highlighting the fact that footballers on £100K per week that are crying about playing, really have very little to worry about.

    No they have no excuse, just lazy ****s IMO, any who can show they have never left the house since the end of May should be excused, going the shop or Supermarket is a much higher risk than playing football against footballers who have just tested negative.

    No reason whatsoever season can't be finished now imo.

    See the government have shown results of anti bodies sample testing they have done, it suggests 20% of London have had it and 5% of the rest of the country.

    Most online places were £99 then I saw Superdrug at £69, too steep but £49 fringing on possibly worth it. I work with 9-10 pharmacists (hoping we get it for free soon), three of them have had to have checks in the past 8 weeks, each time it was negative, they just had a cold. Social distancing with them is impossible.

    Like everyone, I want to have a test and find out I have had it and never realised but I’d be amazed if I had. Each of the pharmacy workers have an average of 4 per family, how contagious this thing is then I’m sure someone would have been hit hard by it if at least one of us had had it.
