But I love him. I don’t have the privilege of seeing any actual successful QPR teams like all you old ****s which maybe influences that.
But it isn’t just about the Levy’s and Ashley’s... it’s also about EPL clubs using the money to pay the non-playing staff of the clubs from monies saved from player payments. Not taking it from the government/tax payers. That’s plain and simply wrong.
True mate, watching Bannister and Byrne every week was truly one of the highlights of my younger years......such sublime talent that brought tears to my eyes standing in the paddock.
It should be a separate issue. No Prem club needs to save from the players to pay the ordinary staff.
Best public health advice I’ve heard - if you keep a bottle of beer in both hands you can’t touch your face.
Possibly. But huge revenues will be being lost to all clubs. Gates. Associated product sales. Not too sure what the impact of sponsorship will be without games to promote the sponsors. They will be impacted.
Probably not for this thread but can you see some clubs going under ? (I guess it’s virus linked)
Fair point but morally, if the choice has to be made, the non-playing staff should be prioritised as I don't think a £30-40K a week player is going to starve. When a club pays £30-40 million for an 'average' player, then £100K a week and then looks to the government to pay non-playing staff say £300 a week you have to wonder what sort of 'community' they represent...
...it'll be interesting to see how sales of Corona fair in the next few years/months.
They’ve stopped producing/brewing in Mexico as have been deemed non essential
Just googled it and read that. More innocent people suffer, albeit economically.
Other pluses of contagion - I can easily live without 5Live, the BBC Sport app, the property market, a whole morass of marketing tat that is no longer being shoved through my letterbox, 90% of shopping, getting on a plane to go to work, most ‘live’ TV programmes involving a studio audience, debate on Brexit trade negotiations, list to be updated as things occur to me.
I do miss a swift pint in the Pug at the end of a dog walk, seeing a few good friends and live music. Man do I miss live music. After this is done I am pondering getting a turntable and exclusively buying ‘live’ LPs - can’t beat spontaneity, mistakes and, err, life.
Am I imagining things or is the night sky much clearer with the fall in pollution? Venus has been like a massive beacon for the last couple of weeks.

Have you tried any of these ‘livestream, living room gigs’ that seem to be doing the rounds ?
Not yet. It’s a nice thing to do, but not the thing, really, is it? Besides Alabama 3 in large band format would constitute an illegal gathering.
Ive seen a few advertised but the artists I saw never really did it for me. An interesting concept.
I have seen regular offers of 'free rides' by Uber and others and thought how dangerous this could be for drivers, especially with the long period before symptoms become obvious. I informed my company I was no longer working over three weeks ago as I had had several passengers coughing and spluttering in the rear seats and just feeling it was too dangerous for someone to be earning a living in such circumstances. Black cabs are far better suited to this with screens and a self-contained passenger area, why are the government not giving such work to their trade as they are particularly financially hit by what is happening?...

Not getting to gigs is killing me - thankfully they've all be rescheduled for the back end of the year, but who knows, they could moved again if this goes on for a while.
Live stream gigs don't really do it for me, poor sound and dodgy links. I'm not even a big fan of watching gigs on TV, you just don't get the feel of the atmosphere.
Jnrs band were supposed to be playing their biggest gig yet next week, which has obviously been canned, and he's gutted.
