10 minute clip today from a passionate but reasoned commentator about the current COVID situation here in Australia. https://www.skynews.com.au/opinion/chris-kenny/australias-whole-pandemic-response-has-taken-a-turn-for-the-worse-kenny/video/969f7fb61d4a836d62fdd271d1a4c38e The Victorian...

Announced in the last day that Denis Law has dementia 😔. Another of the greats from yesteryear suffering from this insidious disease.

I’m certainly praying it works out for your guys.

I agree - but life is a risk. Living life from lockdown to lockdown is no way to live. Here in Melbourne there’s about 6-8 people in hospital including 1 in ICU. Then compare it to the youth suicide rate which has skyrocketed - on average 1 per day. Last week there was just under 150 hospital...

Good luck to all of you getting together and meeting your mates at the game. I’m envious as such activities are beyond the reach for me in Melbourne until probably next year - if we’re lucky 😒 Enjoy the game and cheer the team on.

I wrote this 2 days ago for a group blog in which I contribute - it might give you guys some perspective of the awful predicament that Australia is now in (pretty much the same could be said for NZ): “The EPL is back” shouted commentator after commentator this weekend as cameras panned across...

In the last couple of hours the Victorian State Premier announced that Melbourne will be under a curfew (9pm-5am) for at least 2 weeks. I kid you not there was even talks of having armed troops in the streets at night . . . but that was not given the go-ahead. Oh and the Premier has decreed...

Very sad. The best goal poacher in my lifetime - better than Jimmy Greaves - had a great record in big matches.

The entire management of the Covid ‘pandemic’ in Australia has been and continues to be a disgraceful fiasco: a smorgasbord of incompetence, bungling and tyranny. The only plan has been to lock up the entire population until everyone gets vaccinated. I should imagine the average 14-year-old...

Exactly. But we’re governed across the country by incompetent muppets (of all political persuasions) that seriously believe in Zero COVID at all costs, regardless of the collateral damage that is being done to society. Another perverse situation we have in Oz are daily press conferences (every...

My heart goes out to your friend's daughter. The latest today is a mother in Sydney, doubled-jabbed, but denied permission to see and look after her daughter in Melbourne who has had a severe form of cancer and has just had chemo. The mother is fully vaxed, taken COVID tests every 3 days (all...

100% spot on . . . it's fucking insanity ! ! ! Living here is an utter misery . . . In the last 2 and a half months we've has 3 hard lockdowns in Melbourne/Victoria for around 100 cases in total (of which no-one has died and literally a handful have ended up in hospital) - ie. in 73 days it's...

Up until the Sky Greed 6 domination (ie say the last 15 years), I'd have had Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal and Everton as heading the list of the biggest clubs in England for consistency, largely across the 20th century. Following that 4, the next group would consist of Spurs, Man City...

My earliest memory of the Olympics was watching David Hemery’s terrific gold medal run in the 400m hurdles - Mexico‘68. The first Olympics as a whole was Munich’72, with Mary Peters, Olga Korbut and Lasse Viren. However, the whole experience was sullied for ever by the infamous murder of 11...

It still looks shit, but granted, last season’s was appalling.

Thanks mate. My son is OK . . . shocked . . . but he's coping. I won't go into details but his friend was very lucky.

The Australian PM should be skull-fucked ! ! ! In fact he's a CUNT of the highest order ! He said, early in the year, "It's not a race" . . . . ie no hurry to get vaxed . . . well the country is now fractured and broken. This Zero COVID strategy is utter insanity. The Feds didn't secure enough...

Well after exiting lockdown 10 days ago, Melbourne/Victoria will be back into lockdown tonight again for the 6th time ! 6 cases today. So two thirds of Australia is in hard lockdown. Life is a total misery here.

Yes he certainly was - the best fullback in the UK in the late 60s/early 70s. That great Leeds team of the 60s/early 70s has been decimated in the last couple of years. I always admired them but I never really loved the way they played.

Good to hear - of our recent shirts my clear favourite has been the 18/19 shirt. But how does the sizes compare ? Being in Oz it’s a bit of guess in regards to sizes from the UK.
