Howay

Aye, terrifying place.

I live in New Jersey, about 20 mins drive from NYC. The Governor of NJ gave a shelter in place order on Saturday, which seems to be pretty much in line with the lockdown back home. My company has had all offices in the US closed for just over a week now as our NYC office has had a pretty big outbreak (get daily emails with new cases saying what floors of the building they had visited), and we are closed until April 30 at earliest. Must admit I’m not sure what Trumps idea about reopening everything means, he himself hasn’t really done much in the way of closures it’s really been up to states, but I don’t know if they have the power to remain that way or if he can overrule them and force them to lift these lockdowns. I think New York is getting out of hand already so it’ll be far worse in 2 weeks which in Trumps head is when we should reopen. Not many gun nuts around where I live thankfully, but I think Texas are planning to shoot their way out with what their nob head Governor is saying (Trump talked about what a great guy he is in his recent conference). I did just have a call with a lad at work who is super Republican and he actually said he agrees with something that AOC said recently, so maybe there is hope things may change politically but I still hope the Orange doylem currently in charge doesn’t cause complete havoc in the meantime.

I believe it, even when he was in the mindset of taking advice from the medical professionals for his speech at the weekend he was still saying he won’t mandate nationwide closures as “each state is different” so even though New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Washington, etc are shutting down other states don’t give fuck. What is also baffling is how these arrogant pricks don’t understand that if people go out and live normal lives, sacrificing anyone that’s old or compromised, it won’t be long until those in other groups are desperately needing ventilators to stay alive as the hospitals become overwhelmed. What exactly does he think will happen to the economy when that happens? He simply doesn’t give a flying fuck, all he wants is the stock market to be up when it’s election time, outside of that nothing matters. If this doesn’t open people’s eyes to voting in animals like this then nothing will. If he ignores all the medical professionals advice the fall out is going to be fucking horrific, apparently Dr Fauci has been stopped from attending any further press briefings as Trump finally clicked on that Fauci didn’t agree with him.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/03/24/politics/donald-trump-coronavirus-strategy/index.html Trump has seemingly lost his patience. If he succeeds this is going to be horrific, genuinely hope NJ ignores the fucking buffoon but I doubt it’d make much difference. If people still elect him after this I give up with people ffs.

I’ll take a look for it. Although this doc is getting really depressing at this point so maybe this will be my fill of this blokes saga

Which podcast was that? It says a lot about how mental they all are that this Joe Exotic bloke probably isn’t even the worst one.

Tiger King on Netflix. True crime documentary about this bloke: It follows him and others in the American private zoo business, they’re all absolutely fucking mental and a bunch of total cunts. We watched the Jinx before watching this which I also highly fookin recommend but I know plenty on here have seen that.

I forgot this was when it was called sportsdirect.com @ at St James’ Park, just saw the branding of that on the advert hoarding, what a load of tripe that is, further reminder in one of our most exciting games in recent times of how much of a cunt Ashley is.

Fuck sake 2 down already. Colo played Walcott onside for the first. Dreadful marking on the 2nd

The Governor of New Jersey has established a curfew of 8pm until 5am, and told all non-essential business (so gyms, cinemas, race courses etc) to close including bars, restaurants can remain open but only for take out and delivery. My work shut all offices as of tomorrow. The oddest rule is the supermarket near me is only allowing you to shop there on even days if your surname begins with A through M, and odd days if it’s N through Z, unless you’re over 55 in which case you can go any day and the first two hours of the day are for over 55s only. Meanwhile Trump said don’t gather in groups of 10 or more

Nice to see what I wrote after a few whiskeys. I stand by it though, bunch of mugs.

Putting aside the ‘biggest club to play in tier 3’ nonsense, the bellend also thinks there are only 10-15 clubs bigger than them in the country They’ve played 2 games in European competition, look set to be a third division side for a third year, 3 seasons since they were last in the top flight, yet this spanner thinks they’re in the top 10-15 biggest clubs in the country I suppose the longer they’re at their proper level the more ridiculous the straws they clutch at will be, it was ‘everyone’s cup final’ last season, season 3 in League One will surely make them realize teams don’t see them as a scalp ffs.

My work has said they’re staying open after looking like they might close offices. Additionally they have said we now have to fill in a form daily by 9am to say what we are working on, as this will be used to staff people to projects where team members have been infected and are at home/hospital so the firms response to this is to give us more fucking admin and make us feel like even more of a resource than a person.

NBA is shut down indefinitely too

I love that they keep acting like Athletico playing defensive football is new, it’s literally the style they’re known for under Simeone. It’s also a perfectly viable tactic, these bitter cunts need to stop whinging when their favorites lose out to it, many of the same pundits were pulling themselves like mad when Chelsea knocked Barca out years ago by defending deep and hitting on the break.

I’m pretty sure the numbers in the US are massively wrong. They have 46 confirmed cases in NYC, one of the cases is a lawyer who works in an office just down the street from Grand Central station, he took the train in and out of Grand Central, spent the day at work, got home felt ill so his neighbor drove him to the hospital. The neighbor has tested positive as have both families, but if that’s the case I would expect a lot of people who come in contact with him that day to have contracted it, then the people they contact etc. there’s no way it’s only 46.

The Juve centre back Daniele Rugani has tested positive for it, is he the first big name player to test positive for Coronavirus? I know there have been lower division players before him.

Aye, Ritchie was absolutely fucking dreadful.

It would serve the abhorrent sack of shit right. The worrying part would be if he had it and recovered he’d take it even less seriously than he is now.

He comes across as (and probably is) an absolute fucking moron whenever I see him speak, how and why the fuck do people vote for him? I honestly don’t understand how people can hear him speak and think “that’s who I want to run the country”. There’s rumors of very limited to no screening when people are flying in from high risk areas so that the number of confirmed cases remains low, seems absurd and would be very troubling which is why it seems possible under this fraud. Only that man would think that him happening to be president would mean a highly contagious virus wouldn’t spread, or maybe he’s thinking his support would believe something like that. He’s going to wipe the floor with Biden as well isn’t he . What a time to be alive.

We go a goal up and immediately Lascelles goes into fucking hoof it anytime it’s near him mode, despite him having about 5 short pass options

Get the fuck in there ASM

He also won’t needlessly hack opposition players down when they’re going nowhere as Ritchie does quite regularly

In a shocking turn of events Ings is being a little shithouse

Aye, very limited player. The fact players like him are still regular starters after so many seasons since promotion shows how little Ashley lets us kick on.
