POST! Jeeeez. 

Man City's last shot was in the 11th minute apparently 

GET THE FUDGE INNNN!!!!!!

Well deserved Leon. 

Bloody hell, it's just like watching Brazil. 

Oh for crying out loud.  We should be miles ahead!

That was some half for Aston Villa. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone do that to Man City under Pep Guardiola.

It was out definitely 

Yep, the snapshot Amazon Prime showed it was clearly out.  Nothing to grumble about there. 

 We're doing brilliantly and on another day, we'd be well ahead.  Must keep going and react to any changes they make at HT. 

John Stones .  I'll refer to him as John Pebbles (well at least for the next 5 minutes anyway) as that is what he seemed to have in his boots. 

That is how quickly things can change - we were dominating and had 2 good chances, and then it took Emi heroics to keep them out.  Martinez is an absolute God. 

I've been in the office a few times this week so far, mainly to welcome a new starter and get him through the deluge of admin and introduce him to people etc.  I was in at 7AM today, thought about clocking off at 4ish and then someone grabs me and says "hey, can we have a quick chat".  The quick chat wasn't a quick chat at all and I ended up leaving at 5:30PM  .  If I'm working from home, we'd have chats but I set my status as offline come 4PM usually to deter this kind of thing. 

Bit early for my liking (it should be a Christmas Eve thing!) but Channel 4 are currently showing The Snowman etc.

Shall I crack the joke about how helpful it is of them to circle the funny bits?

Nah, that'd be pointless. 

Better to get in early rather than panic closer to the time.  Lots of food will be fine for years, like this beauty for instance.  I once heard of someone who went mad trying to buy one of these for her daughter who was travelling home.  They had to get the friendly police to delay her at the airport and all sorts whilst they sorted it all out.

Thanks, listening to Sky News and they keep on saying gone at the age of 77. 

EDIT: They've corrected themselves.

Wasn't the key stat the excess deaths compared to normal?  Lots more people were dying than usually would, I suspect many of those who died 'with' covid rather than 'because of' it had their chances of surviving lessened by having a respiratory disease at the same time.  The figure going back down to normal coincided with the vaccine roll out, I read in the Lancet that globally the vaccine would have saved 19m lives if you take recorded excess deaths as the best measure of covid.

The excess deaths were probably down to liver failure during lockdown.

(I'm joking!). 

It's interesting that deaths due to COVID are rising apparently (compared with falling positive rates - lack of testing?).  Whether that is death by COVID or death with COVID is anyone's guess though (I haven't really looked into the data ).  

The fact that deaths are rising gives me reason to give caution if I feel a little bit weary or have a snotty nose etc before seeing my vulnerable folks. 

That said, we're a long way off previous horrific numbers:
