I'm not sure, but it'll be like starting with 10 men again. It looks like he's going to play Darlow in nets I expect him to get tested by Wolves early on. Hayden as well not sure if he's 100%

Bruce has realised what the problem is he said "We were asking the lads to roll their sleeves up. When one of them pointed out we dont have any on the shirts gaffer. Now I'm asking the fans to have a look in their cupboards & wardrobes for any old Newcastle shirts they can send in with sleeves on. Mike said he'll let Charnley pay to have the names & numbers put on them. Then the players CAN roll their sleeves up & give it a good go"

I think the Hungry Wolfs will easily beat the Little Led Hiding Hoods 3-0. Bruce's only way of motivating the players this week after last weekend's hiding. Was probably running a couple of extra laps around the training ground & an extra 10 minutes kick about. The Wolfs motivation will be a top 4 place. Bruce's luck will run out this season

LEADERS in the North East have said they will tell Boris Johnson to "sod off" if he tries to impose harsh Tier 3 rules on them.

That £88 million would have been enough to see them through. I bet they wish they'd kept it now

Boris proving what an absolute shithouse he really is. Manchester needed a minimum £65 million. They will now get a third of that. Boris said they'd already provided over £500+ million to Manchester. But that money has been spent. The £65 million would be money that they're going to need over the next few weeks. It does feel like Manchester are being punished for standing up to them.

Greater Manchester wanted £5m more' BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says she is hearing the government was willing to offer Greater Manchester £60m to support business under tier three measures - but Greater Manchester leaders wanted to push for £65m. Now limits are being imposed and the region will get less than £60m - although it is not yet clear what the amount on offer will actually be, she adds. The Local Government Secretary Robert Jenrick says: “I’m disappointed that despite recognising the gravity of the situation, the mayor has been unwilling to take the action that is required to get the spread of the virus under control in Greater Manchester and reach an agreement with the government. I have therefore advised the prime minister that these discussions have concluded without an agreement." We understand Tier 3 restrictions - the highest level - will now be imposed. All pubs and bars, unless they are serving substantial meals, as well as betting shops, casinos, bingo halls, adult gaming centres, and soft play areas will be closed for a month. We don't yet know when this period will begin.

Boris is Steve Bruce

Hancock to give a statement in the commons at 7pm

Yeah he's got a point. But Boris is always saying " make no mistake we will get tougher if we need to" without really carrying anything through. IF he shows weakness he really is leading himself wide open when he tries to impose restrictions elsewhere. I mean he may actually put Manchester in tier 3 yet we'll have to wait & see

I refer the honourable gentleman to my earlier post

Nearly 2 hours since the deadline on Manchester & still no word on a decision. This could be massive for Boris if he chooses not to impose tier 3. Because every single time he tries to impose it on other regions they're going to say "you didnt enforce it on Manchester"

Boris still thinks schools are ok to stay open but... Secondary school attendance in England at 86% Almost half of secondary schools in England had at least one pupil self-isolating last week after contact with a coronavirus case in the school. Pupils had to isolate in 46% of secondary and 16% of primary schools. The latest national figures show that overall attendance was just slightly down to 86% of secondary pupils across the whole country. Overall attendance across both primary and secondary schools was 89% in England - but the figure is likely to be lower in areas where coronavirus cases are higher. In Liverpool the city council said attendance across all its schools had fallen to 77% by yesterday.

Aye that'll be it like

PM to hold a news conference later today with national medical director of NHS England and deputy chief medical officer Looks like Boris, Stephen Powis & Van Tamms on the telly at 5 pm.

I agree mate but we have to remember there's approximately a 3 week delay between new infections & hospital admissions. Currently we are nearly at 20,000 new infections a day. With no sign of the numbers really decreasing

With the way infections are rising Whitty & Valance's projections aren't going to be that to far out.

Let's see what he does with Manchester today

Sorry about that but the point I'm trying to make is Boris wont make a move until everyone else has. He was the same back in March arseing about deciding what to do with infections & deaths rising on a daily basis.

With Wales & now N.I. going into Lockdown. We just need Little Jimmy Krankie to lock Scotland down. Then see if Boris follows them all.

Meanwhile Boris sits back twiddling his thumbs

Wales is imposing a "firebreak" lockdown for 17 days from 6pm on Friday, the Welsh government has announced. The new coronavirus lockdown will take Wales back to the restrictions introduced in March, with most businesses shutting, and people being told to stay at home and work from home where possible. Non-essential retail, leisure and hospitality businesses to close People told to work from home wherever possible, with exceptions for critical workers Household mixing banned both indoors and outdoors, although those in social bubbles will still be able to meet Primary schools open after the half-term week and secondary schools will open only to Year 7 and Year 8 pupils Places of worship to be closed except for weddings and funerals
