I was just thinking of responding to this post from Abacus with something along the lines of "No ones compares him to Hitler yet, you could do that" but here you are comparing it to the third Reich.

And that was because his mother died by all accounts too.

Again, that is literally just conjuncture, infact Howe said on Tuesday he has a good relationship with Mitchell.

I feel like it says something that the Americans are the one that seem to take everything so rationally. Then again that may be because your clubs can move the other side of the country on a dime

Absolutely, look at this squad for the Wolves game just before the takeover, can't you see RW was the absolute priority that needed solving:

Do you know what a sure fire way to get people to agree with your point? Calling them dense needlessly.

I feel like as i'm getting older I just can't be arsed with negativity anymore, like objectively it'll be a poor window if we don't sign anyone, there is no disputing it, and a couple of years ago i'd probably be upset, but right now, I really just don't have the energy in me to care that much about it. Like realistically we still have owners who want us to improve, the club will still be here in 5 years, with a likely new set of players, and the world will keep on spinning, with this transfer window having been forgotten. So i'm just sat here reading all the angry posts being very "Meh, whatever, these things happen". Is it just me like that?

So, just a Premier League club being a Premier League club then?

How do we know that they haven't like? All these leaks have come from the Palace end, and not ours, we tend to be very tight lipped about everything. Clubs don't just go for one target at a time likes is a binary thing, there'll be multiple conversations/deals going on at the same time. To me its seems Guehi was clearly our primary target, and we've wanted to sign him within our terms, so we've waited until a point where its clear its not going to happen before committing to the other deals before pivoting to other targets, whether thats the right thing or not, will depend on the next 36 hours. One thing that is for sure, the sensationalism from the press from the beginning has been fucking wank, and hasn't helped in any way, I also don't want to ever do business with Palace again

It'd be disappointing not to sign him, but if we have a price point that we're not willing to budge from, and they have a price point they're not willing to budge from, than its fair enough really. I don't really see how it's embarrassing for either side really, both clubs are just trying to protect their assets, which is again, fair enough.

Good news for us, this along with Schar's retirement should mean we only have Bruno, Miggy, Krafth, Isak and Gordon on international duty next week.

Its the right call though to be fair, given Sandro was blowing by the 35th minute yesterday.

Thats the 8th away domestic cup tie in a row for those counting.

Its 10:30, I want to go to bed, please draw the fucking balls.

I was so confident that we where still losing the shootout, even after Gordon scored to level it, than that happened and I just burst out laughing

There has been a bit of a trend these last few games: First 20 = good Middle 30 = bad Last 20 = good Don't know if its by designed and we're trying to manage games, and it's just haven't got that skill yet but it's noticeable.

I'm glad we won that, not because we're into the next round, purely because Alan fucking Smith was so relentingly negative to everything we did, and was overwhelmingly positive for anything Forest did, it was getting on my tits.

Just a home game, by Christ just a home game.

Seems to be playing a bit deeper for them, and been spraying balls around for fun. He's got a ping on him for sure, seems really comfortable too.

Weird half, we've not looked great, but have broke well a few times and had all the clear cut chances. They've had the majority of the territory but i've not once felt worried, and we've dealt with everything comfortable.

Valencia losing away a Athletic Club, they've had a shocking start to the season. Their next two games are Villarreal and Atletico too, who have both had good starts to the season, so it could potentially be 5 defeats from 5.

Always weird when Mark Chapman turns up on Sky Sports.

Forest made 10 changes from the weekend, and the only person who is starting both is, you guest it... Anderson.

And face legal action from his mother? Fuck that.
