Sifan Hassan is amazing.

Gold in the 5000, gold in the 10.000 and bronze in the 1500. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable indeed.

Read a bit of the story and not saying it justifies it...but from what I understand she had a big lead, was going to win gold... And the horse refused to jump a fence resulting in her not finishing at all

Got to be a shit feeling 

So you are justifying it then.

I don't wear a mask now unless the shop requests it. I haven't got anything against them but I think at some point you have to take the win and appreciate the feeling of freedom while it's on the retreat. I'm double jabbed and younger so I'm unlikely to be very ill if I get it and unlikely to pass it on. While deaths are still in the realms of probably end of line anyway people I'd like to feel some kind of normality.

Why would you be any less likely to pass it on because your younger? Age is completely irrelevant when your talking about your ability to pass this virus onto someone else. 18 months on and people still don't understand the basics of this pandemic.

Final bit it’s north of £300k p/w

This type of salary isn't sustainable. Ultimately it'll be the fans who get hit with higher ticket prices etc. It's not just a Man City issue either.

Grealish is still at the training camp, watching the training game but not taking part. As i’ve explained earlier my mate is sending me photos of his nipper with players. He sent me a photo of Grealish walking onto the grass an hour or so ago.

He has asked me not to post photos with his son in which is understandable and he’s one of a very few spectators there so it wouldn’t take a genius to work out the source of the photo.

If you think this is BS then that’s up to you, I’d rather protect the wishes of a mate and not plaster his son over social media than appease certain people on here.

Fair to say I won’t mention anything else he tells me about:

 

What does he think is going to happen to him?!

Surprised nobody has popped up to mention the Matterface car crash commentary effort yesterday.

Just a thought, but maybe they should get someone less infuriating to do it.

It was proper cringe wasn't it?

No idea how that's even possible. There aren't people to infect.

I didn’t find the little girl crying funny. It’s a little girl crying, I don’t quite see what’s funny about it to be honest. Maybe it’s paternal instincts kicking in, but I felt a bit sorry for her, I think I let out an audible “aww” when she appeared. I know how she was feeling, I’m sure we all do but we were probably fortunate enough to not be displayed on the big screens for people to laugh at.

If it was a grown adult acting inconsolable, I could see that being mildly amusing.

Bang on! Too many thick neanderthals using the "but it's only football banter innit! WAHEY!!!11!!" excuse for cheering at a little girl visibly upset. Seriously, get a life. 

The company my wife works for are an absolute shambles. She was told that if any staff member has to self isolate (i.e if they've been pinged by the NHS Covid app and instructed to self isolate) then they'll only be paid SSP for the time they're at home, as the company doesn't have a working from home policy. Even though most members of staff could very easily work from home if the company actually got themselves together and got the systems in place to let people work from home.

However, just to complicate matters, if an employee has been told to self isolate and is seen as a 'crucial employee' then they may be paid their full salary whilst they're at home, at the directors discretion. If a staff member is told to self isolate, then can the company even pick and choose who gets full pay and who gets SSP?! It sounds very dodgy to me. 

And what happens if an employee is told to self isolate but is also told they'll only get SSP whilst they're away from work, but cant afford to be on SSP. Ain't they almost blackmailing staff to attend work even though they should be self isolating.

@villalad21 what did you make of DCL tonight? Watkins did more in 10 mins than DCL served up in 80 mins. His all round game is just not good enough IMO. 

No, just no. 

This is like men against boys at the moment.

Fantastic across the board.

Listen to those Spurs fans booing there in their first game back - think to yourself, do you wanna be like them? 

Do you not keep track on some of the comments in the match threads?!

Just to add to the long list of questionable decisions, the reason for Konsa and Rashford’s handbags was the fact that Rashford kicked Konsa when they were both in the floor. Showed the replay with no comment. Other way round and you’d have heard the screams on the moon. Clear sending off.
 

Never mind he’s a national treasure. 

Kick? Behave yourself.

And people keep claiming in the Smith thread that no one wants him out. 

Just a very small minority thankfully.

Sick of posts which act as if the opposition are somehow going to lie down and let us run all over them. We're drawing due to a very dodgy penalty decision. We don't have a god given right to win every match we play unfortunately.
