I can tell you now that the NHS is BY FAR the worst I've seen it in my 23 years of working there. Patients are dying avoidable deaths due to lack of beds and lack of staff. We can't get patients out of hospital because we don't have enough social workers, nursing homes or community carers. Patients who should be treated in hospital are sent home too soon because we need their beds, which often leads to a failed discharge and an even longer admission second time round. I dread to think what will happen if the NHS and social care budgets get cut any further. And this is all happening in a world where Shell made £11,000,000,000 profit in the last 6 months.

we do aye. which is why the whole thing with guehi appears so frustrating. we look like some daft obsessive cunt on ebay who ends up paying twice as much for an 04 ford fiesta than it's worth because they refuse to be beaten in a bidding war.

Thoughts and prayers (mainly for CT learning that his dead wife was a bigamist)

you must be that ginger bloke my mate in wideopen was telling me about who made 10 bids for his three-bed semi

Live scenes of Mitchell negotiating with Palace

the whole saga has become mind numbingly tedious, far, far worse than both maddison and paquetta combined. at least with the above two it all appeared to be conjecture by supporters, this is different, we've allowed ourselves to be part of a very public soap opera of repeated failed bids and parish stringing us along with half a dozen skysport/talksport interviews. we should've fucked them off a fortnight ago. I'll admit I'm not england's biggest fan so his performances during the euros pretty much passed me by, even with a dodgy firestick I've zero fucking interest in watching crystal palace games. is he worth £70m? I find it incredible that if we've got that much to spend there's not alternatives out there and we should've spent the last 3 weeks pursuing them rather than pampering to that smarmy cockney pricks ego.

The art of putting someone off the deal.

Gemmill next time he's round visiting the father and sees Mrs. CT out watering the peonies.

Aye because it’s that easy. The lad has been here six years now. The north east is his home where he his kids were born and raised and all he gets for his faithful service is to be traded like a piece of meat against his will. That’s enough to break anyone. Unless the club in for him is Man U in which case he’s down the A1 faster than CT getting up for thirds at the all you can eat buffet.

"OK thanks... Yep I'll let them know. Bye." "OK Paul. Darren. I've just spoken to Steve there and...Well....he says you can ram that last offer up your khyber."

So holiday update. Not seen any football tops worn by adults of any persuasion. No gravy stained mag bag bastards or fans of massive lads to be seen. Some locals in mallorca,. Real, or Barca tops only, and some German teams. However, D2 has made friends with a lass and talked to her parents. They're from Seaham. Got chatting and they're off to watch the match tonight. In support of NUFC. FUCKING COUNTY DURHAM MAGS!!!!!

The idea that other clubs get their transfer done in days is nonsense. Just because it’s the first you’ve heard of it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been going on for weeks or months behind the scenes. This one feels protracted cos Palace can’t hold their piss in. I think we might still sign a right winger, but if we don’t it won’t be because we have been scrabbling around in the last few days. We will have a list of numerous players we like for every position, and will move when we know that they are available. If none are available right now for a price we want/are able to play then we won’t buy for the sake of it. Which is the correct way to do it imo. Buying for the sake of it means you end up like Chelsea or Man Utd, with a squad full of toss on high wages that you can’t shift. Obligatory, fuck transfer windows, fuck Twitter and fuck sky. Dumbed down football discussion beyond recognition, lowest common denominator shite.

I find it quite funny that within the twattersphere you seem to have the same groups of people going ballistic that the club got into a PSR hole that saw them sell Minteh and Anderson. And yet think the club should’ve spent about £200m on three first teamers this window. Without joining the dots. Putting the idiots to one side though, PSR clearly has a big knock on impact on what the club can currently spend. Given that, you do have to question why so much time and effort seems to have been expended on a CB for £60+. It would be different if we were talking about a world class talent at their peak. He’s the next level down imo. Just seems odd the way the window has played out.

WRONG THREAD DICK HEAD! Let's hope you don't actually experience your wife dying in reality and post the news on the joke thread.

I can't wait for this window to close so I don't have to read any more shit about who we should sign and how much we should have paid for them.

Fucking wanker! I nearly PM'd you the other day cos you'd said she wasn't well, and now this. At least the rest of the terrible joke crew have the DECENCY to post it in the joke thread.

Fuck’s sake, man. I thought you were being serious at first.

You fucking stupid cunt, I was genuinely gutted for you.

In the early rounds of the league cup how many players get rested? (Especially if you're playing a lower league side). If you believe journalists, (not itk knackers), we were apparently not far off getting him. If the journalists are wrong they're wrong, but if we really were close to agreeing then it's an unusual move to play and cup tie him. I don't think you have to be a mong to think this.

And we have just the man for the job

Poor CT's wife knew she'd dropped a bollock the first time she met her MiL. The MiL told her CT's middle name was actually Wednesday. When asked why she chose that name, CTs mam said she was shown CT for the first time by the midwife, she took her first look at him and all present agreed to call it a day.

Sadly lost the wife last night and the only reason I’m posting is to make sure none of you go through the same terrible situation. She needed a blood transfusion but her blood type was not on record and I had no idea what it was. Things deteriorated very quickly and I could only hold Mrs CT’s hand and say goodbye. I will never forget how supportive she has always been. Even as she was fading away, she kept on whispering to me, “Be positive, be positive”. Summed my wife up, always thinking of others.

Why don't we sign that cunt instead?

When clubs start listing players on ebay and Rightmove, I'm sure you and Gloomy will be the first people Eales calls.

I wanted an old copper whistling kettle for the campervan wood stove. had a look on ebay and found exactly what I was looking for. put a cheeky bid in for £15 with 24 hours to go and checked in again with a minute to go only to find I'd been outbid. hit them with a big purple one in the last 15 seconds and got the fucking thing for £19.50.... ruthless, that's me.

Mag-like behaviour

Same with Dummett. He was like a sheet of A4 - disappeared when he turned sideways.

Would this thread be a glimpse of what its like to be on a random forum post on RTG? I saw a load of new posts and assumed the fecker had signed

“In other news, Sean Longstaff won a competition on the back of a sugar puff box to win a trip to outer space. He’s said to be looking forward to the opportunity to retrieve one of the many, many footballs he’s sent into orbit over the years.”

Only a few more days until he signs or transfer window shuts. I cannot wait for this thread to end.

Are we calling the signing of Boumsong from Rangers a draw?

You could look at it like the deal can’t be close if they are playing him. £70m down the drain if he gets injured. i don’t think it will happen. Palace are clearly playing hardball and it hasn’t moved on in weeks. I hope we tell them to get fucked and have a replacement lined up.

I was too

He’ll never leave.

I already hate him and in a now established pattern of “going in early” am calling for the useless cockney wanker to be dropped and Emil Kraft to be brought in and made defensive Team Leader, designated by an exclusive armband embossed with a picture of Franco Baresi

They have a match thread involving Newcastle United, but they never watch us, never ! And the thread never EVER get to 20 plus pages. Because..."Genuine question. Does any safc fan in here actually sit and watch Newcastle on the telly? I honestly can’t think of much worse things to do with my time." https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/nottingham-forest-v-nufc-kick-off-2000-sky-sports-main-event-sky-sports-football-sky-sports-ultra-hdr.1639674/

both sound like a pair of thundercunts to me.

So sorry to hear that. I hope you're taking her advice.

He's Joachim Anderson's replacement apparently

yeah, i for one cant wait to get back to talking about the shitty ticketing ballot system

Fans on twitter: WHY TF HAVEN'T WE BOUGHT A RW AND A CB IT'S A JOKE!!! EALES AND MITCHELL ARE HOPELESS!!!! JUST GET IT DONE Also fans on twitter: WHY DID WE SELL MINTEH AND ANDERSON?!?!? THEY WERE TWO OF OUR BEST YOUNG PLAYERS

Schar got sent off and we had to play Krafth at CB. We need a CB. We need a RW too.

To be fair to him, he can play it how he wants. We should have walked weeks ago.

If Howe is to be believed we don’t have the money to get a CB and RW this window. He also said he wants to sign players that will improve the first team. This I agree with but given the financial constraints, RW is surely in greater need of upgrading. I would be happy if we signed a good prospect at CB to challenge Schar and potentially succeed him in a season or two - a bit like the Trafford deal with him seen as someone who can eventually replace Pope. We don’t need to spunk £70m on a CB to walk into the side now. We have Schar, Botman, Burn, Kelly, Lascelles, Krafth and A Murphy. J Murphy and a Miggy contributed three goals each from that RW last season. That’s not enough output if we want to challenge for top 4. All the top wingers in the modern game score closer to 10 goals a season than 5. That’s where the silly money should be invested.

I’ve been very suspicious of this transfer from day one. Since the takeover we have conducted ZERO transfers in public bar this one. I suspect it’s Parrish but we should have seen the signs if he is using the media to up the price.

Steady on Craig, we were obviously only looking to sign him for this years assault on the Carabao cup and we are not interested in him because he can potentially be our starting CB for the next 5-7 years.
