The worst ones are NHS badge lickers, they parade it in your face like they're some kind of messiah. I used to respect them, but after so much smoke blown up their arses, its safe to say I rather be wheeled off a cliff than end up in a hospital if I can help it.


I’ve had nothing but a nightmare with the NHS for the past 2 years. The service has been terrible. My dad has a heart attack last year and he’s been passed around different “specialists” who can’t give him an answer to how they’ll clear his artery. He’s basically lived in fear for a year that he’ll just have another attack at any point. They fucked up his medication on release from the hospital as well, and he went weeks without being on the correct meds.

I’ll never ever forgive them from stopping me seeing my mum while she was terminal and dying in hospital.


I was in hospital this time last year having my right leg amputated above the knee after “catastrophic” blood clots. Some of the staff were utterly amazing, but only some, the others, particularly the consultant class were so arrogant and uncaring it beggared belief. The worst part for me was the food, and I use the term loosely, it was unspeakable. Luckily for me my mrs organised a meals on wheels service where she cooked for me and got a rota of friends to bring it up to Morriston Hospital in Swansea. How they expect people to recover by serving up the slop they call food beats me.


The specialists are the ones ruining the NHS because they’re halving their NHS hours to go follow the $$$ the rest of the week.

Probably tell people they “work for the NHS” but do it one day a week and the other four are private.


Probably deserves its own thread in Off Topic.

My other half has had Asthma since a child. After 40 years they are taking her Blue Inhaler off her (via a TEXT). They claiming its cause its 'Uncontrolled Asthma' as the nice guidelines have changed. Can she get an appointment??? Can she fuck, this is being done via Text messages. She ran out last weekend which caused panic and a call to 111 which resulted in an emergency script to a Chemist 10 miles away.

Wonder if they will be more happy with the cost of a hospital admission when she gets a full blow attack and cannot breathe.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

He's not said where he's going but he did say Southgate remains the best man for the job so maybe it's time for him to have a rest.

His quote was "Given the options, he remains the best man for the job". Not quite the same ringing endorsement as it seems without those first three words!

Sounds like he needs a holiday. Any room in Grealish’s handbag?

this bit from his final column was ...interesting
Hurrying away from Lusail Stadium after Argentina’s win over Croatia, I bumped into Ruud Gullit. He had a big smile. ‘What do you think of the tournament, eh, Martin?’ he asked. I remembered that on the way home from Moscow in 2018, we’d had a lively discussion about Qatar. It’s fair to say he was an advocate, and I wasn’t.

So I said what I thought. That the football had been great. But then tournament football usually is. I hadn’t changed my mind on the location. It was a largely efficient World Cup also, but it came at too high a price.

He seemed disappointed. ‘You guys, you’re always moaning, you never learn,’ he said. ‘That’s why you end up with a referee from South America.’

And he meant it as a joke, but really? That’s the deal? England get Wilton Sampaio because its media reports on migrant worker deaths. I can’t believe that, not even of FIFA — but if it’s even a quarter true, it’s worse than we thought.

There will be an element of truth in that without doubt

Oh and by the way.

A very sad in broadcasting with this being Samuel's last article. Hopefully he will return to his typewriter soon.

By far and away the best and most balanced journalist out there.

I think he put the “I can’t believe that” just to cover himself, but in reality he knows the score.

Klopp has set the agenda, the first chance for Haaland was offside (according to him) and not given, that affected the whole match as it gave City momentum :lol: also Bobby got injured late in the day and that affected things to..... :D

What an ungracious loser. Only consolation was that Klopp looked angry and really out of sorts, did not see his teeth gleaming even once.

Would love to know what the Irish dippers had to say about Nunez after the match? Do they still have faith in him?

The question is, do they feel victimised?

Klopp said Haaland's first chance.

Not only was he wrong on that count because it was actually Haaland's second chance after the one he blazed over the bar that Klopp was really talking about...

When I was watching it again on the site highlights, I paused it and I think he was on right when the ball was played.

So.....

And what good would VAR have been when he didn't even score?
