You can see why Sunderland have lost 6 in a row, they have no confidence whatsoever. They're there for the taking. Get Armstrong on in the 2nd half to put the frighteners on their defence. |

I can imagine there wasn't much parking space with two Range Rovers  |

This is bad. Gareth has to go, let's see if Warburton wants his old job back. |

Seeing as I'm living in Italy at the moment, I really hope we give it to the Italians. I've been getting stick from my Italian work colleagues for days. It would be great to go to work on Monday with a fcking big smile on my face. But seriously I think we have a really good chance this time. Just hope Sako starts and Southgate let's Grealish have go at them. Put 5 euros on England to win 4-0 at 100/1😠|

Thread | This is what a corona virus lockdown is REALLY like
at 22:11 24 Mar 2020
I wasn't going to start a new thread on the corona virus (seeing as there is already a thread on the subject), but I felt I had say something on the matter just to give you guys an idea of how bad the situation could get.
Firstly I'm living and working in northern Italy, so I'm right in the thick of it all. When the virus first came to light in Italy, everyone was saying "it's got nothing to with us, it's a Chinese thing", in fact the first businesses to close were the Chinese ones, because no one would do any business with them. Chinese restaurants, hairdressers,supermarkets, general stores etc.... all closed, and this was about 2 months ago.
Then when the virus took hold in Milan/Lombardy region, people were still saying "it's got nothing to do with me, it's a problem for people from Milan". Now this virus is everywhere. The lockdown was a gradual process, it started from social distancing, closing bars restaurants early. It then went up a notch to closing all businesses which were open to the public. People still didn't take it seriously. So the government tightened the screw, now you could only leave your town if you were going to work or had an emergency (and you had to travel with a special permit). And still people didn't get it. So the screw was tightened again, so here's the current situation: ALL non essential businesses are closed, supermarkets are closed weekends, cannot leave town other than for an emergency, can take the dogs for a walk but have to be within a 200 metre radius from my house, non essential items are not being sold (TVs, smartphones, kids toys, magazines, etc...).
Now I'm not saying I'm having a tough time staying indoors, but the economic consequences are HUGE. I work for an very large multi million pound company and our sales have gone through the floor. 40 people have already been told that they will be sacked at the end of the month and we don't know when, or if, the company will recover. At the moment I'm on paid leave till April, after that who knows.
If you are self employed or have a small business there is help from the government, they'll give you €600 a month, which is nothing if you got a family plus mortgage/rent.
I suppose my point is to take this virus seriously because it could change your lives forever. When I call home everyone seems to be so relaxed about the situation. This was the mistake the Italians made and now look how f%%ked up the situation is.
Anyway hoping you are all keeping safe and that you you will be all here for QPR's promotion push next season
