you see on a football pitch. I remember an occasion when one of our players took a throw in and completely missed the pitch and the throw had to be retaken. Today was another such day, the ball bounced nicely just inside the box to the left and as we all went to get to our feet in anticipation somehow our hapless £6m winger managed to strike it into touch on the opposite side of the pitch.

Davies Bursik Gunn
In that order. Davies was playing with confidence at the start of the season, results were good and our defence looked comfortable and confident with the keeper. I thought Gunn could have done better with the first goal today, it certainly wasn't in the corner and even the second goal he was rooted to the spot after Fox's fuck up.

You’re not going to make me feel guilty sorry. That wasn't my intention. I'm merely pointing out that teachers and police officers are coming into contact with people carrying the covid virus on a daily basis yet they are considered less at risk than healthy young males in their twenties.

So do you think healthy young males should receive the vaccine before teachers and police officers? I think in such small numbers it doesn’t matter. I know 2 20/21 year olds that got it that work for me. One had already had Covid. If there’s a chance to get one, get it. Probably does to the families of these officers. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/met-police-coronavirus-covid-deaths-19707208

It may be a racist shitrag but the reports suggest it's true. Is it right that healthy young males get the vaccine ahead of teachers and police officers? I think with the conditions they will be housed in then giving them a vaccine makes sense. Tbh, I’d make them mandatory for anyone found trying to come in. It just makes sense from a bio security POV. So do you think healthy young males should receive the vaccine before teachers and police officers?

That they can given the vaccine to a 20 year old here illegally ahead of 70 year olds who’ve lived here all their lives and paid into the system, people on the front line and people with underlying health conditions. You think that’s fair? If a 70 year old hasn’t got it already then that’s on them isn’t it? They’ve had the chance. I’d rather any fucker coming in getting it straightaway tbh. Makes way more sense than being bothered by a racist shitrag. There’s plenty of it to go around and all have been offered in the risk groups. It’s just not an issue. It may be a racist shitrag but the reports suggest it's true. Is it right that healthy young males get the vaccine ahead of teachers and police officers?

He really was shockingly bad today, the most disappointing thing about him (apart from his shocking performance) was his half arsed attempt at everything he did. Absolutely fucking abysmal.

The dodgy stream I was watching kindly sent me a link to a very nice looking young Russian lady who is single and living in Stoke apparantly. Its not all doom and gloom you know.

Tonight Lindsay defended pretty much like he did for us but without a dropped bollock. He's a decent centre back and I'd like to see him back at Stoke next season replacing Chester.

I am surprised. So many Brexshiteers on here who "Knew EXACTLY what they were voting for" five short years ago, and now just so much whining and whingeing about the UK's relationship with the EU. Moan, Moan Moan, the EU can't do this, the EU mustn't do that, the EU is being very childish, the EU is trying to teach the UK a lesson etc etc. First rate bollox. The UK does not control what the EU chooses to do, just as the EU no longer controls what the UK does. You knew all this would happen, and you voted for it. Calm down and try not to take such obvious delight in the EU appearing to fuck the UK. Things will settle down and trade between the EU and UK will start to return to something like normal in a year.

The people highlighting it are described as "outliers" by the Health Secretary. The numbers I saw so far were that >90% of cases are caught outside hospitals. It's extremely important to help our hospitals keep things as tight as possible, but there's vital context. www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n70A copy of the text.. Still, the numbers are alarming. On 18 December a Health Service Journal analysis of NHS England data found that around one in four covid cases was probably caught by hospital inpatients initially admitted for other reasons.3 The rates were over one in three in some hospitals and had risen by 35% in one week. Given the high rate of false negative or first negative tests, we might quibble at the definition (patients testing positive more than eight days into admission), but that definition hasn’t changed even as cases have risen.

Insurance for the home doesn’t protect elderly people from getting covid mate In the care homes of Stoke and the surrounding areas they don’t accept them ....believe me I know I’ll leave it at that though 👍 I've heard they most definitely do, I'll leave it at that

That's the issue, it's not just the transmission in hospitals, which are reported to be as high as a quarter of all transmission, it's the ongoing transmission from hospitals discharging covid positives into the community and family. Its a very big problem. Patients aren’t D/C if positive ....they are kept in until a negative swab That’s why hospital numbers are very high I'll take your word for it but a family member does patient transfer from hospitals and he claims he is constantly transporting covid positive patients home or to care homes.

There has been very little scrutiny from MSM as to the transmission in hospital. I can understand the reluctance to appear critical of the NHS when the medical staff are pushed to the limits fighting the virus...but there is an alarming spread of the disease in hospitals. People are being admitted to hospital with usual non covid issues and testing negative on admission but testing positive after a short stay in hospital, they are then discharged into the community or care homes still covid positive, like you say, it is the elephant in the room. My family and myself followed the rules and did not catch COVID until my wife started a new job at the Royal Stoke. Two weeks after starting she caught it and myself and two grown up kids (both living at home) all caught it too within days....thankfully we all made a full recovery. Figures aren’t released of how many people catch it in Hospitals because the figures would be shocking and would be a real embarrassment for Mr Hancock. That's the issue, it's not just the transmission in hospitals, which are reported to be as high as a quarter of all transmission, it's the ongoing transmission from hospitals discharging covid positives into the community and family. Its a very big problem.

At the moment the EU are playing a very childish game of brinksmanship and the remain supporters are sadly reveling in the moment. In the next 12 months the EU will have to start behaving like responsible grown up people and I'm sure trade between the UK and EU will reflect that. For the next couple of months though I'm sure the remainers will enjoy the UK'S discomfort. As a remainer I’m loving this, really looking forward to the economy taking a nose dive, my friends and family losing their jobs, a poorer quality of life, and reduced opportunities for my kids. But as long as I can come on the oatcake and say......well, I didn’t vote for this $hitshow, it’s all good. You don't have to 'love it' and you don't have to fear economic armageddon, grown up politics will resume after all the posturing, rest assured😉

A very good move for him, a chance to sample a new life in a lesser league in the twilight of his career. There are the odd muppets on here who have tried to belittle the massive contribution that Ryan has made to the development of Stoke as a football club since we signed him but the vast majority recognise what a colossus he has been at this club and the legendary status he has deservedly earned. A sad day if he goes but he goes with the blessing of all true Stoke fans.

Just heard of a 92 year old bloke who had cancer who was having homecare and never went into hospital. When he died, his son was asked whether he'd had a Covid test before he passed. He hadn't, and he told them to fuck off trying to put him down as a Covid death, but it shows they are actively trying to report deaths as Covid wherever they can. I don't know where the figures come from and who is in charge of them, but if it's do with the NHS, are they trying to increase the death rate to generate funding after being decimated over the last few years? Might sound cynical, but I really don't see how/why our rates look so bad. There are still a BET365 worth full of people in hospital so sadly many will still pass away. However, the elephant in the room is how big a problem hospital transmission is. Given we are in lockdown etc I do believe hospitals are a part of the spread. It's inevitable as we have seen before how bugs and viruses rip through them. People are dying in hospital after catching Covid whilst there. But the government and media are very quiet on the matter... There has been very little scrutiny from MSM as to the transmission in hospital. I can understand the reluctance to appear critical of the NHS when the medical staff are pushed to the limits fighting the virus...but there is an alarming spread of the disease in hospitals. People are being admitted to hospital with usual non covid issues and testing negative on admission but testing positive after a short stay in hospital, they are then discharged into the community or care homes still covid positive, like you say, it is the elephant in the room.

I've always been against holidays in the UK for a few reasons, price the major one. I've just had a quick look at centre parks, £1.5k more than my current trip I have booked for the summer and that's before any other costs. If I can't get abroad this year I will just movey trip, no way am I paying for a holiday here. we take the mums away for a few days both mid 80's and not great for walking too much, so has to be in the UK. I was looking at the Rome marathon in September but it's just too much hassle even thinking about it atm, possibly having to test and isolate coming back, a pity the EU are so far behind with their vaccine rollout. For a moment there I thought you were looking to take your 80 year old mums to run the Rome marathon

Back to his best today after a few average performances. Thought the same with Collins too. He's had a few dodgy performances recently but was much better today.

Don't want to be negative because the lad has obvious talent, but... He always seems to be on the periphery of things, almost reluctant to get involved in the game. There were times today when he could have made himself available for a pass and times when he could have driven at defenders but didn't. He is potentially a tremendous footballer, let's hope we can find the key.
