Good result.

I thought we were fine. If we come out with a point we'll have done well.

It does seem a little suspicious that the new super-spreading bat-derived coronavirus shows up in the backyard of the only Chinese lab doing gain-of-function experiments on bat coronaviruses, I'll give you that. I suspect we'll never be sure of the origins one way or the other. I guess at this...

While I agree that, on the balance of probabilities, it’s likely to have been naturally occurring, I wouldn’t overstate the certainty. A good (and very long) read here: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/amp/article/coronavirus-lab-escape-theory.html Worth taking the time to read in full at some...

Tough game to ref, but he's been shit. Ruling out the Maguire goal was a joke.

:lol: Like something from Brass Eye.
