............so, any thoughts on tonight's outcome?


I really want to believe we are going to go out there and cream them, but can't rid this nagging doubt in my head that has happened a million times before that we will leave ourselves needing to win 3 or 4 nil to go through 2nd in our group, or even worse not make it through at all!!


I just don't get it, on paper we have a very decent team, why oh why do we never look like we are going to walk it!!!

Did I jinx it?

OR am I just getting used to the same old same old from a team that has no incentive whatsoever to do well.


Sure a few of the players want to do well for themselves and their country, unfortunately capello sat with his thumb up his arse all night and left them on the bench!!!


So any guesses on how LUCKY we will be on Wednesday? USA draw and we get a cheeky goal or purely on lots??


What a depressing start to the weekend!

Another carefully controlled, and measured performance by our lads, they are keeping the best till last, obviously.


Is Heskey a little overweight and slightly slower than one might expect,


for one of the very best eleven players we have?


We shall have to put it down to er altitude!

There is one man I would happily shoot in this world cup, the one who makes those awful crappy noisey horns.


At any ground in the UK you can hear the gasps of tension in a game, which all helps to make you feel included,


and I really miss it,


these brainless cretinous horn-blowing morons are ruining a vital part of our game.


It's not the same watching with the sound off either, bar studs!



Algeria seemed fitter and faster than our lot, but that was equalled out by not being as effective as our top team,


perhaps. Nil, nil draw does not suggest either team was that effective though.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
