anyway.... what this thread has established is that 19 people are bastions of football knowledge and 14 should start playing tiddlywinks.

nee cunt. not even a goalkeeper.

1) enter a ballot (number of winners unknow) 2) win ballot, get a 2 day window on a first cone first served basis to select and pay for your seat 3) find every device you have capable of connecting to the Internet and install every browser ever invented on to it. have your head nearly fall off as it oscillates from side to side determining which stick man is walking fastest. 4) pray when it's your turn in the queue that the shite website doesn't boot you back to the beginning again. 5) pick a seat (number available unknown) and hope it goes in to your basket rather than flash forlornly. 6) invest 20 hours a day in to playing the robot/fastest finger first game. 7) buy a dodgy firestick.

like a new signing.

nee cunt.

0/3 success rate in the ballot, man city the latest failure. would be nice if they gave even a hint of information as to how they've split the available tickets between ballot/online sale. far be it from me to throw a conspiracy theory in to the equation but I also wonder if the ballot is weighted in the favour of those who"ve forked out the extra tenner to be superdooper mag+ members?

eales + mitchell = llambias + wise

not bad ali

both sound like a pair of thundercunts to me.

face it, we're just not gonna get one over the line. but we tried.

and so they should.

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.

and I'd agree with that. id have no issue with a low ball offer initially. the 2nd bid would be the best one. at which point I'd walk away. were up to four or five now IF the press are to believed.

go then.... at what point do you say enough's enough then?

you've listed another reason why parish doesn't let him go for £45m, the two acls. he is a cunt, but probably not a stupid one.

parish isn't letting his superstar, english central defender whose just been roundly accepted as the stand out performer at the euros go for £45m. not happening man.

there's not a hope in hell of that happening.

which is why it madness we're still seemingly chasing shadows with guehi 3 days before the window shuts. we've had three and a half months to address 2 problem positions.

meanwhile.... there's none so blind as those who will not see

I sincerely hope so too, because as it stands we'll finish the summer with some greek 5th choice goalkeeper as our biggest buy and can start counting off the days till isak/bruno/gordon fuck off to pastures new.

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.

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.

we've seen countless players at newcastle agitate for a move, never mind at other clubs. he could've easily forced the issue if he was set on com8ng here. fuck the cunt.

exactly this. parish in fairness to him has played an absolute blinder as the red tops lapdog as well as the croydon ultras banner brigade. that said, we've made ourselves look incompetent for the majority of august, got some work to do now in 3 days.
