This just came up on my google feed - and I knew just where to link it....

Ahhhhhhhhhhh 

Sunday update from JC.

UK starts @ 7m.

This James Clark could get himself on the police force once this is all done, or set himself up as a PI

Ivor is quite a shirty fellow, and I'm guessing he'll be back on the diet grift if his film career doesn't take off.

I couldn't be dealing with that wall of text in his reply.  I knew he had deleted his past from LinkedIn, but wasn't absolutely sure what he had been doing.  Good work.

Yeadon came back too.

Cliffs,

false positives are a big thing [no they aren't: see article, plus NSW plus English Summer etc. and why are so many people dying "with" Covid if only 2% of the population tested positive for Covid at peak?].
some more meaningless blah, blah
chart that ends mid December for deaths, and was likely missing lagging data at the time [rolls eyes]
look at my qualifications, therefore I am right

I saw that word doc. Notice that he got in the 'many wines' addendum, so I guess that gives him a back up when it gets pulled apart

I'd sooner listen to Cummins speak, but Yeadon is definitely hard work to listen to.

Obsessed with cases and false positives, lol. Are these people just dying randomly and bowling into intensive care with broken toenails?

Stuart McDonald worked with Ed Conway for this earlier in the week, which was shown on Sky News. 

How bad is 2020 mortality vs previous years?

Sunday official figures are always lower than normal beccause of reporting issues, but the Zoe app update from yesterday suggesting R is now below 1

This should be more reliable than official figures (which suggested 1.2 to 1.3 earlier in the week). Official figures are based on hospital admissions which lag symptoms and cases.  You can see the drop in official case numbers where cases have been down week on week for individual days recently (ie Saturday is compared to  previous Saturday and so on). 

What's Walker got to do with anything? He's an idiot.
Meanwhile, the PE teacher is presented as some nice guy when really deep down he is a ****.

Anyway, I was generally saying nice things about United 

Just seen Fernandes has won Player of the Month for the 4th time.

Made me smile.

He joins this group of PL greats who have also won it 4 times:
Dennis Bergkamp
Thierry Henry
Frank Lampard
Cristiano Ronaldo
Paul Scholes
Alan Shearer[d]
Jamie Vardy

Only these ahead of him:

Rooney 5
RVP 5
Gerrard 6
Kane 6
Aguero7
 

And looking at those players you'll understand why it made me smile.

Bruno has been a massive influence, but four time player of the month in basically one season is probably OTT. I’m surprised at the absentees from the list. No KdB, no VvD, no Yaya, no Keane, no David Silva, no Vierra. But they had a lot more competition in their prime.

Who are you cheering for tomorrow?

KDB 0
Yaya 0
Silva 1
VVD 1
Keane 2
Vierra 0

Fernandes 4  lol

Draw>United win>Liverpool win


Both United & Liverpool dropping 2 points is best. If we go on to beat Palace we'll be 1 point ahead of Liverpool with game in hand and 2 points behind you with the same game in hand.  So, poll position for top spot as we approach the half way spot of the season.

I agree with you on the player of the month stuff, but apparently the only players in Europe with more ‘goal involvements’ than Bruno in the period since he arrived in the EPL are CR7, Messi, and Lewandowski...

Fun stat if true.
27G+17A in 3854mins  is impressive.  15 penalties included in the 27 goals distorts the numbers somewhat.    Salah was at 43G + 15A in 17/18. with just the 1 pen.

Don't want to dismiss his influence though. Obviously a fantastic player and massively impactful for you so can totally understand the love-in. You've needed it for while.

He has almost eliminated my KdB envy
