18 people in the pub enjoying a quiet drink with their friends. And now I’ve got to kick them out before they’re ready to go. All because some ignorant, out of touch fools in London tell me we’re all in danger if I don’t.

The news agenda is clear. They told you that the R rate in Germany had spiked to 2.88 and how dangerous a second wave was. A few days later the R rate is 0.7 but despite having a reporter in Germany they avoid mentioning that. They are trying to terrify you.

If someone that tests positive for Covid has been in Tesco does that branch have to shut down or notify everyone that has been in there? My pub will be following the Tesco model in the unlikely event it happens.

The Red Lion in Helston had its best ever Friday yesterday. Beer garden was full for 4/5 hours, everyone was well-behaved and seemed to have a great time, and many stayed until we closed because we ignored the 'guidance' on music.

How the discussion between Oliver and VAR should have gone- “Did Trossard clip Kulusevski’s heel and trip him?” “Yes”. So I can disallow the goal and award Spurs a penalty?” “ Yes”.

There are well off pensioners and poor pensioners. The problem is that once you have retired, unlike working people, it's difficult to increase your income. When you consider the money that washes around football the saving by scrapping this concession is tiny. Shameful by Spurs

Conte has transformed Spurs running stats, all of them must be up by 20% but I'd say Son is up at least 50%. I love his "Conte wants us moving all the time" comment too, yes Sonny that's your job. Skipp loving life.

Don't underestimate the ability of Porro and Udogie to adjust their game to play in a back four. They would have more protection from MF and Skipp is very good defensively. With good coaching talented players get better and adapt. Spence showed at the weekend he can defend.
