I'm double vaccinated and had Delta at the start of November ending isolation on the 11th. I honestly thought it was a cold but tested because of fellow employees, etc. My son and my daughter currently have Omicron at the moment, she's got a cold, he's got no symptoms, both double jabbed. I met up with a friend today for a run who came out of isolation yesterday, double jabbed and boosted with no symptoms. I now don't know anyone who has any appetite for any further restrictions. How did you all find out whether you had Delta or Omicron? All the PCR results I’ve had back have just said I’m positive, but never divulge the variant. Is there a way of finding out? After I tested positive I was given a call every other day by Alberta Healthcare to check in on how I was doing and I just asked them.

I’m double vaccinated & had delta back in August. Would never have known but for a mate telling me to get checked out as he had got it. But for his call I’d have been in the office. The only people I know who have had it are vaccinated people. We have over 80% uptake here in Calgary. Only one was truly ill & his legs blistered which is fucking weird. Hoping this omicron is the final weakened version. Media need to stop focusing on the number of cases to dramatize it. Should be looking at the recovery rate now. The mandates disgust me. It’s people’s choice and those who make what I consider to be the wrong choice should not be discriminated against.

You get a good appetiser by reading the 'Look inside' feature on the Amazon site. I have ordered mine, its looks a really informative read. Agreed. Looking forward to getting that. I bought the Paul Merson book the other day. Not seen reviews but he's seen some chaos so could be an interesting read.

Give Mancini this group of players & we would be champions of Europe & favourites for the World Cup.

I think some of the valuations on here are a bit over the top! There's not a chance we would get anywhere near 40/50m some people have said Looking at transfers out of the championship for defenders, only 1 over 25m & Ake had years of premier league/international football (good standard) experience Yes Souttar looks absolute fantastic so far this season & it doesn't surprise me clubs are looking at him. However, I can't see someone taking a risk of over 20/25m on a player who hasn't been tested in the premier league yetWould be interesting to see if he included a buy clause in the contract he signed recently & how much that would have been View AttachmentOnly the wizards that are Messrs. Scholes and Cartwright would do such a thing (see fat boy Wimmer for details)

Singing this for 45 minutes none stop at Spurs This sounded brilliant on TV especially given we were getting dicked at the time. what a turnaround. There was another match where the Brit was absolutely rocking to "Ricardo Fuller....City's number 10" and the commentators panned the camera onto some old boy with a pickled face who was belting it out. Pure enjoyment!

The behaviour of a minority does not mean that a large percentage of the country is racist. This country will always have a very small number of extremists whatever there hateful drive. One of the biggest first steps is for it to be accepted it’s a small number who cause maximum damage and that they need to be targeted hard. That’s the best way of fighting any hate crime because let’s not forget that they’re the type that also target gay people and people with disabilities who are often forgotten. They will never change through education so teach them by prosecution. Just check out the Independent today. They have gone into overdrive with their indoctrination that this country is a disgusting place. I often contemplate what their agenda is and how it could be in any way helpful. Are they attempting to make us all hate this country and if so why? How quickly they drop the last 4 weeks of positive energy and point the finger of "racist louts" at a whole country because of the actions of a small percentage of scum bags. Everything points back to the media and social media. They highlight and virtue signal against the disgusting division that THEY themselves promote and create. And we are total mugs if we fall for it. They are a fookin joke. It's a worldwide media agenda. They're burning churches in Canada now after the US was on fire for most of last year. I went to bed last night angry that we had lost, angry that the manager didn't go hell for leather for a win, angry at his penalty takers choice but none of this anger had anything to do with race. 2 of those penalty takers had barely touched the ball, the other had been kicked, elbowed and thrown around like a rag doll in the limited time he had played. I would say that at least 95% of people are good. They are the majority and not the small, very vocal scumbags of all races that cause issues for the rest of us.

Spot on. The worst thing about it for me is that nobody in that England squad is actually used to playing a backs to the wall approach regularly, we have some of the best attackers in the world and even the centre backs are very forward thinking. Had we attacked Italy I don’t think they would’ve been able to handle us, given their record we were always likely to concede against them, you can’t sit back for 88 minutes against a team of that quality in the biggest match of their lives. If we played with a positive attitude I think we’d have beaten them by two goals in normal time, in the end we got what we deserved. We played to Italy’s strengths instead of playing to our own. I don’t blame the players, they did exactly what was asked of them, there was no outlet in the second half though and the ball kept coming straight back, and by the time he did change it we had lost all momentum. I like Southgate but he is not the right manager for this group of players, Foden, Sancho and Grealish were wasted in this tournament. Rashford and Calvert-Lewin should’ve been used earlier on in the group stages even if just for 20-30 minutes, Mancini made full use of his squad and wasn’t afraid to take his star players off, Southgate needs to take a long hard look at his tactics and usage of the whole squad. He deserves the chance to lead us at the World Cup but we risk wasting the next golden generation if we stick with him too long, the squad we have now can compete at the highest level and we need a manager who can too, maybe Southgate can become that but he needs to learn very quickly. National managers should be there on merit, they should have accomplishments behind them. Southgate is a nice guy but has done fuck all to warrant consideration for this job. Mancini is in a different spectrum. It’s like me putting myself up for chancellor of the exchequer without having played suffocation games with fruit. If we had the right manager the World Cup could be very interesting. Not many teams have the attacking depth that we have and after watching the Copa America last night there is nothing to fear.

Exactly. We are. Let's remind ourselves that 5 years ago in this very tournament we lost to Iceland in one of the worst performances in the nation's history. Southgate has worked wonders. Not really. The FA has invested massively to make this happen. Southgate has a squad of very good footballers and hasn’t used them correctly imo. He’s held them back on the pitch with his negativity. The one thing this squad misses is the freedom to play and that’s from the manager. He’s a failed club manager who got a job cause he’s a nice guy. We have a fantastic young squad that should have been allowed to go for it. I’m 50 and this is my first final & I’m fucking pissed off we didn’t take it to that aging defence.

That game changed when Jorginho faked injury in the first half. They knew they were getting run ragged & took a time out.
Mancini changed their game, Southgate had no answer. Trippier was silenced & our midfield got overran. 62% possession in the first half even though we bossed them for 20 minutes.
Second half we were way too negative. You don’t win games defending your box. So pissed off we didn’t throw caution to the wind and just run at them.

I would normally say Stoke without hesitation but not this time. We'd be relegated immediately.
England, the team and the people need a win. Get this done and nothing to stop us moving on for a World Cup success.

Never seen anything like that after Arnie's goal...one teammate trying to hold his mouth and then another comes up and slaps him across the face. Presumably a Macedonia/Serbia political thing That or he’s having a mental because he didn’t start & is light years ahead of anyone else on the pitch. Absolute loon but god I miss watching the likes of him.
