Imagine watching that and then coming on here to slag off players... then doubling and trebling down on that. Get a fucking life Ro Sham Bo.

That's my worry.
Too many good players happy to stagnate at clubs they support scudding Hamilton and Ross County every week.
Rude.

Is that North or South of Tottenham? I am looking for a good NFL pub one or two tube stops north of the stadium as there was a massive queue south last time after the game.
Good Intel, thanks

My post game plan for tomorrow is to head for the Famous Three Kings near West Kensington tube. They offer selected NFL games, presumably according to demand. Will update as I find it.
The green man always used to be the spot for Wembley but I'm not sure where it is in relation to spurs.

I bought a new car a couple of weeks ago. Not brand new, its 11 months old 70 plate. The price was high but I got a fucking stupid price for mine on trade in. Like 25% more than I was expecting. If you're trading in you can still get a good deal IMO because high trade in prices are offsetting the high used prices. I suspect you may get a worse deal currently as a cash buyer which obviously is unusual.

Did the commentator not say the rules had been changed ? But even he wasn’t sure in the end.
You can punt twice if both kicks are behind the line of scrimmage. His second one he looked way over. Refs made the correct call assuming they thought he was behind the line, so its half on them and half in McVay for not challenging it. Didnt cost us anyway.

He is 70 (seventy). Always think that's incredible, he looks 20 years younger. His scheme is archaic tho. I'd be worried if the Hawks got a McVay/Shanahan type offensive mind to work with Wilson.

What a play from the Seahawks punter, the way he picked up the ball after the block was tip top
What an illegal play. Botched by the refs.
Rams soft D made that closer than it should have been.

Re: the game, two shite teams kicking lumps out each other. United could have put 4 past us but lack ambition and were content to sit back. Not how I would want my football played but cant argue with the results.
We are shite.

I was in the away end and heard nothing. I would never presume to say it didnt happen but I was much closer to the group it allegedly came from than anyone on the pitch was.

Agree, I don't think we've got any way of playing Boyce and Gnanduillet together that keeps Mackay, Woodburn and GMS in the team.
I liked the 3 5 2 we had at the end of last season, with Beni being an upgrade on McEneff.
If we're going to play a 4 at the back, and we look worse defensively if we do, then you play Boyce as a lone striker with two behind him imo
Gnanduillet was honking. Is he always that bad? Shoehorning attacking players into midfield to make sure he plays is baffling from an outsiders point of view. Boyce was the best player on the park by a distance yesterday.

He gave his shirt to the son of Gary Bisset, who is the fan who passed away recently and for whom we had the applause at the start of the game. A really classy touch. The hearts fans observed that brilliantly too fwiw.

The issues with locum medics, bank shifts and agency nurses are the same as the issues with private provision of healthcare. It's all the same fucking docs and nurses. There aren't two sets, some who do locums and some who do normal shifts. The vast majority of locum, bank and agency shifts are the same fecking staff doing additional hours. The vast majority of locum/bank arrangements are pretty short term too, shifts here or there.
Consultant and GP locums are different to be fair in that they might be 3 or 6 month posts rather than ad hoc shifts. But ask yourself why, when we are gasping for staff, these docs need to bounce about every 6 months.

Mine can't talk about going anywhere for a day out or just even a walk without talking about getting a coffee and a "nice slice of cake". It's not so much going to a cafe it's the predictability of her mentioning it every time. If I mention it she calls me a tight old b*****d like her dad.
Kind of related - mine can't go on any car journey of any length without either bringing juice or making us stop for a coffee. We are routinely late for stuff because I've had to sit in the tim hortons drive through on the way. The tins of Pepsi max get half drunk- because its normally a fucking ten minute journey- and left in my car.
Why can you not just sit in the car for 30 mins without drinking something?

On my views regarding the NHS?
I'm not getting any stick at all from what I can see.
In other threads. I may be mistaking you for another poster.

Should maybe go in the petty things that annoy you thread but people working for the NHS conveniently hide their final salary (or average salary) public pensions when banging on about how poor they are paid.
Our salaries are a matter of public record, we have nothing to hide.
Worth considering this though. I am far from a CEO, but the CEOs of Lothian and GGC for example take in approx £150k a year before tax. Ask yourself how many private sector CEOs would get out of bed for that at an organisation of comparable size. We are talking multi-billion pound organisations with 25k+ staff. It won't be a popular view because that's clearly still obscene money, but I have a lot of respect for people who will work at that level in the public sector, with the shite and politics and stress that come with it, when they could be making many times as much money in the private sector.

And that's fair enough.
The point I'm trying to make is that it cannot be a simple problem to fix and it can't just be a case of throwing money at it because nobody from any party has ever been able to make that work.
The NHS is probably too big to fix in the way you are describing IMO.
What I think is that as a society we need to step back from this and start thinking about our own responsibility not to overwhelm it by not looking after ourselves. We are a nation of fat, unhealthy b*****ds complaining because the NHS can't cope with all the associated illness caused by that.
IMO we need to stop pouring money into a black hole and deal with the root cause - ourselves.
Not having tranches of perfectly healthy staff sitting at home after being pinged would be another thing.
None of this is easy to solve though because of the size of the organisation and what we are asking of it.
You (rightly) get a lot of stick on here from what I've seen but you're spot on with this.
Instead of CMOs talking about "realistic medicine" we need doctors everywhere to practice it wholesale. Still a long way off I think.

The IJBs have been a complete waste of time. Years in and still nobody know what they are meant to be doing and delayed discharge are still a huge issue.
Get the National Care Service up and running and get people out of hospitals.
Preach.

Not disagreeing with any of this in princple but how do you do 1 and 2 without bankrupting the country bearing in mind that these costs would be ongoing every year rather than one-off like the pandemic spending?
Also, if you remove caps on medical and nursing staff you'll end up with at least 10 times the number of both within about 5 years when they all graduate. Where are you going to place them and how are you going to pay them?
Big acute hospitals are running routinely with 50+ nursing shortages a day. It is literally impossible to train too many, especially at the current rate that they are leaving. In fact, training more might convince the rest of them to stay because they won't be so ridiculously burnt out.
My job isnt to make policy decisions or work out how to fund the NHS, it's to make sure the resources we do have are used appropriately. I'm just giving some suggestions for what would help.
