I'm not convinced Liverpool will be fighting for top spot, hope I'm wrong, but unless Torres strikes up an amazing partnership with Kuyt very quickly, it's just not going to happen.... Yet!


I think Man U will be better than last season, and will win again. I think it will be close between Liverpool and Chelsea for 2nd and third, and equally close between Spurs and Arsenal for 4th....


Man U

Liverpool

Chelsea

Arsenal...


Of course on the last day of the season we'll all be amazed that we lost out to Everton *shudder*, Villa and Blackburn for the champs league spots! :-S

Enough of this Premiership malarky.


We all know the real football is played in the lower divisions. As a Leeds fan (*stop laughing at the back*) I am very mcuh looking forward to watching the likes of Heath, Prutton and Beckford on away trips to Leyton Orient, Millwall and Southend. The skill, the passion, the blood, sweat and.....


....oh god just shoot me now and get it over with. I've had enough pain as a Leeds fan over the past five years without this crap!

Leeds United! Oh you poor man...you have my deepest sympathy. God! it must be tough. I have an ex-girlfriend who was a Leeds fan and it's very sad to see such a big club, although hated by so many in the Don Revie days, go into what would look like almost terminal decline.

>>Yes, that potential 15 point deficit is extremely harsh.<<


As a Sheffield United supporter I have always hated Leeds United with a deep passion, exceeded only that held for Sheffield W*dn*sd*y, but on the subject of this 15 point deduction I heartily agree - it is much too harsh. But the scale of the punishment was inevitable given that Leeds is a northern club - a London one would just have been given a derisioy fine of course...

Keef's CPT Allstars :-S


I always tend to forget about them and never make any changes, so doubt I'll do very well. The only one I get in to is the monthly chanel 4 game that a bunch of us have been doing for about 3 years now. Annoyngly the same bloke has won every yar, so we're all determined to beat him!

OK, I have joined as I had a team in a separate league anyway!


As for this coming season. It's Manure for the title, then Chelski, Liverpool and Arsenal in that order. That's a given almost. The more interesting competition is of course for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th!


Spurs will be there and I think they are the only definite. Man C have spent but this has been based on videos of players, for instance they bought Giovanni on the basis of a video of a game against Havant and Waterlooville or Bournemouth. Bolton will not be as triky as last year. Newcastle always under achieve and it will be fun to see them do the same this season.


Wet Sham? Maybe, maybe not. Blackburn - lets hope they cease to exist somehow this season. Boro? Going down I hope.


Everton will probably be there unless they get docked points for third party owenrship of Manuel Fernandes (A deal that even H Redknapp said he would not touch with a barge pole). Reading will fade away to nothing this season as will Fulham and the three that come up will go back down (probably by September!)


My bet for the 5-8 places are Tottenham, Everton, Portsmouth and Blackburn (sadly). This is the real competition in the premiership.


Anyone else care to speculate?


Oh yeah, and Southampton will get relegated from the Championship!

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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."

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