Oops! Sorry, didn't realise it was a "Football" film.


I've never really rated Upson and him being an ex-Gooner you can keep him but Green's a pretty good goalkeeper. As it happens I thought Gomes had his best game in a Spurs shirt against West Ham the other night especially when he pulled off two brilliant point blank saves towards the end and we went up the other end and scored our second.

Bagpuss is after Glen Johnson now according to our darling media. So that is David James, Glen Johnson, Sylvan Distin, Kranjcar, Diarra, Belhadj, Peter Crouch and Jermaine Defoe he is buying!


I guess imitation is the best form of flattery. Spurs will be moving to the South Coast and winning major trophies soon! :)

It's just press speculation ratty but I'd like Defoe back and I think it's possible we might nick Johnson off you. He's certainly a better player since his time at West Ham and Chelsea.

Jah is Spurs, but no, Sandperson is Man U, LadyGooner (oviously), Sean, and others are Arsenal, Ratty is Pompey, Mockney, ???? and Rhinestone are all Hammers, and myself and Annasfield are Liverpool.


By the way ratty, "Spurs couldn't afford Tottenham"? I had to read that about 4 times just to make sure ;-)

And have you ever predicted a loss for Liverpool Keef?!


Thanks for calling me a lovely lass - Kells may be misled into thinking I am 21 - again!

Ahem! Er and little me.

...and there are those of us who eschew the spurious glamour of Premiership clubs (sour grapes? moi??!!) and soldier on with our lifelong enslavement to the Giants of the Championship...or even the Football League, although alas the numbers in the latter category were recently reduced by one when one chap apostacised and gave it all up for the dubious pleasures of the Oval Ball....

    • 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.
