Man I hate being wrong. >:D<

Good stuff, just saw the news on my phone whilst in the car, and couldn't remember how quick God's was. 4 mins 33 seconds, can't see that record being beaten anytime soon actually.


Still, Agbonlahor done pretty well!


Whilst we're talking about it,Arsenal fans look away now!!!


Speaking of Arsenal fans, is Atila coming back soon? I know he lost his rag a bit a few times, but generally I found his passion quite impressive!

Good start to the season. Congrats to Hull, commiserations to Stoke, hats off to Newcastle, who frankly didn't look like Newcastle, and well done Sunderland who were a bit unlucky not to grind a draw out of that, Richardson looking good for them (is he on loan or signed?).


If Villa can keep consistency I think they've the makings of a very good side, building on good improvement last year.


Deco looking like signing of the season already, but poor old Pompey, unsettled by rumours of a Redknapp return to Upton Park perhaps? Not sure how I feel about that. He's a great chap and all, but he ran out of ideas at West Ham and don't think a return would suit anyone.


And lastly I loved being proved wrong re Wigan.

I'm not - I just love it when you lose (or draw. ;-)

So who's going to be the new England captain? I'm a thug JT or I forgot to go for my drugs test because I took too many disco biscuits the night before Rio Ferdinand. :-S


Going to the game on Wednesday night - will be interesting to see how we perform following our absence from the Euros.

I'm no fan of Terry or Ferdinand but if I was the sort of lazy-ass English player who needed a captain to motivate me then I would probably go for Terry - he does seem more visibly "bothered" by below-par performances.


(Mind you so does Gallas @ Arsenal and he just seems to annoy everyone else...)


Not sure about keepers being Captain, but James' columns in The Observer every fortnight show a depth missing from most other footballers

    • 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.
