This is how I feel. I’ve just moved to China to teach having spent 14 days in one room quarantine. Le Tiss was my hero as a 10 year old kid and all the way through secondary school. Unfollowed him two weeks ago and now I’ve just heard about this today. Gutted but not surprised. Tiss likes to stick to his guns and antagonise but isn’t as bright as he thinks. I’ve said it before here, but I lost my dad who was in his 60s to covid in March. Totally unexpected and I’ve seen what a brutal disease it is. No goodbyes possible. The polarised nation is depressing and the free speech argument doesn’t mean bollocks should get equal credibility. What happened to evaluating evidence and being scientific? China are over covid (as it stands) as everyone takes it seriously. Only cases are imported and found at the isolation stage. The nonsense that Tiss and others spout play down the seriousness of covid meaning the prospect of getting rid of it for good are reduced. Please wear a mask, quarantine if you need to and respect those who grieve for those previously lost to covid and prevent unnecessary deaths in the future. Don’t you think it’s pathetic that this is a thing we have to talk about. God, I miss the simple and fun days of the 90s. Maybe my age.

My dad’s got covid19 and in hospital at the minute. In pretty good shape prior to it. Asked my brother about a ‘covid’ party and the wisdom of getting it early. He works in infectious diseases and simply said ‘no’. That’s enough for me. Better to cut off all communication for 3 or 4 weeks and rid it that way, not by infecting everyone.

This game is a hard watch. Outmuscled again all over the pitch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looked more sluggish with Prowse off. Big effort needed from everyone and a bit of luck to get through this one now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rupert Lowe on the Guardian website photo by look of it. The pwick can’t get enough of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How bad was Redmond’s run out? Can’t remember him doing anything at all except put one over the bar in minute one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not much that hasn’t been said already. No positives to take from that. It was a Mark Hughes team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ings, Bednarek and Cedric take a bow. Less impressed with Adams. Looks a long way from coming good. Great result and top atmosphere on the tele. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a goal. Awesome. Vestergaard looks clumsy again. McBurnie’s beard is one heck of a mistake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agree with needing pace on up front. Prowse and V-gard haven’t done anything whatsoever. Our entire right side has been non existent. On the plus side Danso looks good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He did well after coming on. But that was set up for him, late on against 10 men. Can he produce for the full 90 every week? History suggests not. Deserves a chance though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We look incredibly slow and one dimensional. It’s hard to watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Half this side have done nothing. They aren’t at this level. Stephens, Ings, Valery et al. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JWP’s shooting has been a constant let down over the years. With all his ability yada yada. He’s a neat and tidy average player. Lemina has the potential for so much more. Would love him to be on the train. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s handy. Seeing as I live in Derby. Should be a competitive game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gutted to see him go. Him with Morgan in front of Toby and Jose was class. Add Virgil to that lineup and it would have been A* Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Milner 61 caps. Utter failure. Sterling is so overrated. Typical. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went to Russia vs England in Moscow with a few mates. We got started on a few times despite being relatively intelligent and not looking for trouble. Unless you have been away with England you shouldn't condemn quite so easily. Our history makes us ripe for others looking for trouble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thought so. Although if it wasn't. Then I could have just enjoyed watching the very best in modern advertising. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe part of the deal involves us securing a replacement before he departs. Would seem sensible to me. And something he could understand too but then again maybe that's just wishful thinking Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
