    UK population 68.5 million, COVID deaths 147,000-0.21% of the population.

    Canada population 38.25 million, COVID deaths 30,085-0.08% of the population.

    Australia population 26 million, COVID deaths 2,134-0.008% of the population.

    So we've had 2.5 times as many deaths per population as Canada, and 25 times as many deaths per population as Australia.

    Anyone would think their populations are more widely spread apart over a larger area of land.

    The only people being ignorant I can see here are those that are resorting to throwing insults insults from the safety of their keyboard and those that will only be happy if others give up their freedoms because of their fears, not realising that their freedoms will be next. If you are so desperate to live under a totalitarian regime, there are plenty out there. Australia and Canada would probably suit. If they aren't harsh enough for you, try China or North Korea. 

    Get out of your left wing echo chamber, look at arguments on both sides. Try having a reasonable debate, without resorting to name calling. If you still don't see anything suspicious I can't help you.

     

     

    You mention reasonable debate but you're responding with the same sensationalist attitude mentioning regimes.

    Please explain clearly what you think the benefits are to the 'rich and powerful' from hammering the economy.

    Think you are overestimating the importance or reach of this forum.

    I think it's well documented that the players are aware of the forums. Also bear in mind whenever the club tags a player on instagram and the comments flood in, they receive a notification for each one. My point is that is these players had thrown the towel in, then by all means make the feelings known. When a player is clearly struggling with form and confidence I think this can be extremely damaging. I think you're underestimating the impact of the mental aspect of a player's life now.

    We all know that the Geoffrey Watling stand has needed work for years.

    At what point would you be happy for us to put infrastructure before team improvement? For a club our size it will always be one or the other and not both. 

    So in the simplest terms, what would be your criteria to begin the much needed work to increase capacity?

    I think the responsibility should be with both parents / people who are offended by it and those who go specifically for a slightly more charged aggressive experience. 

    Be mindful that if you're going in the family areas then it's not acceptable. At the same time, don't take your kids in the snake pit and then complain.

    At the end of the day football is a highly emotive sport and will cause these reactions and if the players are going to do it there's very little you can do to get away from it.

    Loads of over reaction and sour grapes on here I think. Another year of development and he will be up there with the best.  Has everything to be a top England player - skilful, physicality, desire and application. 

    No sour grapes, I was glad to actually see Godfrey move on. Aarons on the other hand will be a different story and I dare say is more worthy of skilful, physicality, desire and application.

    He's not a PL centre back in my opinion either but he is a good athlete. I think he would be better a right back where his lack of footballing ability and positional awareness wouldn't be so glaringly obvious. He's not that bad, but not good enough for a team like Everton. We are about his level (top end Champs/lower Prem).

    This I very much agree with. Highly athletic player with very good fitness. Also full blooded and a lot of fans place this above footballing ability. I understand he still has time to develop but my point is that the self serving promotion is just so wrong. Pundits shouldn't be using paid tv gigs to pimp out their players.

    The over-hyping of Godfrey and the constant pushing into the shop window by Rio Ferdinand tells you how ultimately self serving football is.

    For months we heard how Rio Ferdinand was 'mentoring' Godfrey (translates as becomes his agent and has a financial interest) and took every opportunity possible to highlight Godfrey as some incredible stand out player either through his PAID role on BT Sport or his social media platforms. We are now getting the same with Max Aarons, also 'mentored' by Ferdinand - highlighting Aarons as a player cash rich Newcastle should now be looking at.

    Ferdinand is very, very quick to give strong critical opinions on players he has no personal gain yet Godfrey who has been nothing short of a defensive liability for seasons now continues to elude the same levels of criticism. Last night's horror challenge, which was a thousand times worse than his reckless sending off when I saw him lost his head against Bournemouth was just another indicator of how this player is not a top level center back.

    Blind backpasses, poor positional sense, reckless temperament, an inability to keep his arms off the opponent and constantly pointing and shouting to nobody just show a player well out of his depth as a center back at premier league level. For me, Godfrey is kept afloat with some of the best PR available to him keeping his stock high and his chest beating passion all part of the illusion.

    The reality is that Godfrey has more in common with Gary Doherty than 'mentor' Ferdinand yet because he is a young English Player who has transferred for big money he avoids a lot of the criticism which would have been aimed at the former.

    He is a young man, a long way from home and playing in the premier league for the first time. It takes time and he has all of the raw talent to nurture. Honestly, the poor guy will be well aware of threads like this and pretty sure that doesn't help his mindset either. Why does there always have to be a scapegoat? Go support Man City.

    The change of manager at MK Dons hasn't helped Josh at all. Allied to that he has found himself behind Scott Twine in the pecking order. I've mentioned Twine on here before - I was really surprised that he went to a League 1 club when he left Swindon - really thought he would go to a Championship team at least. 

    You could say you mentioned Twine in a separate 'thread'.
