Untold: Sign Stealer on Netflix is good. Sports doc about college football and a bloke implicated in stealing opposition teams signals that they send onto the field for each play.

It's not beyond the realms that us walking away is just all part of the dance. In 30 hours, we'll know.

If Hope's reporting is correct, then: Howe insists on Guehi and only Guehi. Palace won't sell Guehi. I don't see how Howe gets to walk.

Let's wait and see what happens in the next 30 odd hours before we start ringing the alarm bells. At the end of the day, most of the restrictions we're facing are external, and there's nothing we can do about them. If that means Bruno and Isak leave, there's really fuck all we can do about it. Obviously if we buy no one in the next 30 odd hours, we've totally fucked this window and these lads will be scratching their heads and asking questions.

I need to run some good patter workshops on here. There will be some compulsory attendees.

Parrish will play the media game better than us. Best not to get involved imo. The bloke is a broadcaster's dream, whereas Eales is basically David Brent. Parrish has said from the start that they don't need or want to sell and it would take something special for them to sell him. We obviously haven't reached that threshold. One thing is certain, if Mitchell doesn't pull something out of the bag in the next 30 hours, then he personally has had a fucking stinker for his first transfer window. I doubt the chairman will be looking on fondly.

Every chance Howe has said we can't sell him with no replacement, and we don't look like we can whip up a replacement in the next 30 hours.

The transfer window closes in 33hrs 11 minutes. Paul Mitchell:

It's miniscule.

Looks like I'm wrong to still be confident.

Hey I'm still confident. But then I don't follow Graeme Bailey on twitter.

Is Carsley gonna persist with fucking Pickford, I wonder. A goalkeeper that the entire footballing world is happy to watch battle relegation every year at Everton, without ever thinking about trying to buy him, but who Southgate saw as the best England could do.

I wouldn't want to be Kieran Trippier if Tino turns up dead in suspicious circumstances.

A general rule of thumb is that if it can't be objectively measured, they're the best at it.

Another triumph of the intangible. I've heard they tan better than us too, and they have better smiles.

BTW KD, post this stuff in your Marc Guehi thread. Never mind trying to slip your bad news about Guehi posts elsewhere. Own that shit.

SHITC more like amirite.

Do you rate films before they've finished?

"HITC understands..." I don't even know who HITC is, but I bet they're heavily reliant on clicks to keep the lights on. The kid that's written the article looks about 14 as well. My advice. Ignore this shit. And unfollow Graeme Bailey, he's a proven bullshitter.

What about gardening?

Nah its not that.

We've got a better writing room these days.

No one can touch Jamaal's Jams.

Retired from international football. Wonder if this presages a move to Saudi.
