Saw a worrying/interesting statistic on Sky Sports News this morning where apparently 13 of the Premier league club have reported that fewer than 50% of their players have been fully vaccinated. Apparently the only club where all the players are vaccinated is Wolves. Brentford and Leeds say they're over 90%

We've got a few Anti Vaxxers and our boss Nigel Pearson has just positived for Covid a 2nd time. I'm assuming it's different variants, however it does seem to be making a beeline for those who already had it at the mo...

Hugh Grant, Emily Maitlis, Keith Allen, cheese twat from Blur, Richard Osman, CAN YOU HEAR ME RICHARD OSMAN. YOUR BOYS TOOK ONE HELL OF A BEATING.

It's been a long road back but it's nice to see Loftus-Cheek starting to look himself again. I still thought he looked nowhere near the same physically as recent as pre-season. I hope he can stay fit, he's due a lot of good karma.

That "higher bar" for overturning "clear and obvious" errors sure hit rock bottom pretty quickly when the chance to rule out a Chelsea goal arose. It's amazing what fouls can be spotted if you squint and rewind far enough.

Newcastle takeover: Saudi Arabian-backed deal is close

The cynic in me says it's still not happening and we're stuck with Ashley, Bruce and impending relegation, the optimist in me has put the cans in the fridge.

Miguel Delaney has just started crying again.

I'm torn, honestly. The little lad that can still remember Kevin Keegan leaving St James' in a helicopter is buzzing. The grown man who spent the last 3 days wanting to spit on 70% of his customers for being horrible Tories will have to accept that the club he's supported from the age of 3 is now run by despots.

I imagine Steve Bruce will be laughing all the way to the bank by the weekend though.

Confirmed. Bruce switching off his phone right now.

[BrodyGraham]

Well, it's done. I mean the club had already had it's soul driven out, so at least now, we might have some decent football to watch.

Waiting on the absolutely daft transfer speculation to start now and whatever ridiculous coach they've got lined up to start.

Bruce will be £3m better off and not getting bombarded with abuse. He's a fucking winner tonight!

Maybe Rafa can be tempted away from his cosy loving environment, would be hilarious.

[SuperBacon]

Lol.

Goldberg is fit for about as many matches as Wilson is a year, so why not.

Absolutely buzzing. Obviously I'd rather a less dodgy regime in charge but as a wrestling fan I'm used to enjoying(?) the product of a bunch of horrible cunts.

Still smaller than The UKFF's 2nd team Wrexham. And our 3rd team Coventry.

Unpopular opinion time. So called sugar daddy clubs are instrumental in keeping the premier league interesting. It was the only way to make it competitive.
