Ended up with a last minute ticket to the England game tonight. 55 chuffin' squid!


Not the best of games, but was nice to view a potential Barry, Bentley & Gerrard (and who knows Crouchie) link up for next season.


Hargreaves played well tonight, but I'm not sure what game Lamps and A Cole were playing.


What game can I watch next week......

Errr yes, perhaps if we do sign him I'll edit that post. Not sure if I'd want to lose Alonso for him though. :-S

Hmmm - yes. I see what you saying and I realise that it's not a dirty red top rag reporting the story, however I won't be smug about it until it happens.


Don't forget that Torres was going to Chelsea only the week before last. The only difference here is that Ronaldo hasn't denied it.

I have no real feelings on the subject. Speaking as a fan, I've always stated that no player is bigger than the club. We and Man U, have had many big players come and go in the past and we still challenge for the biggest honours every season. Players come and go, the Club is the be and end all in my book. If a player has set his sights elsewhere, let him go, before he destabilises the dressing room.

I agree too, however what does make me laugh is how outraged United are by Real Madrid's behaviour. They do exactly the same thing every single season.


Those in glass houses...?..


(I do miss this topic; keep finding it on page two and three. Can't believe it has been ousted by arse and appendage size)

It is kind of ironic that the club & fans stuck by Ronaldo when he was castigated for getting Rooney sent off during the last world cup, and also that Van Nistleroy, who famously fell out with Ferguson over Ronaldo, after he claimed Ferguson was overly protective of Ronaldo, is now saying that the best club in the world wants the best players in the world. That is a kind of perverse twist to this. Players unfortunately these days have little or no loyalty to any club, no matter what the club has done for them. Look at Cashley Hole as the perfect example of extreme treachery.

    • 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
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
