Oh god it was a terrible. I'm smarting this morning, really smarting. I can't even bring myself to read the match reports in the papers yet. What a terrible start to the season for Tottenham Hotspur. But here come the excuses. 3 left backs out, three centre-halves, a couple of wingers, or am I just whinging? Oh well, once we do finally get everyone fit again I'm sure we'll be the force that people have been saying we should be this season. In the meantime Grrrr!(6)

I watched the game and felt quite sorry for Tony Soprano - the fans were giving him a kicking on Five Live afterwards saying he's a nice guy but a poor tactician. He certainly looked isolated on the touchline.


Injuries play their part but there was enough talent out there to do something other than whatver tactics were in play.

I listened to those idiots on Five Live bleating about Martin Jol on the way back from the game in the luxury of my mate's Lexus. Most of those people on phone-ins know f**k all about football. This is a man who has got us a top five finish in the last two seasons and a couple of good cup runs in which I think we were a little lacking in experience when it came to the business end of matters. I happen to think he is a fine coach and if given the right time and resources will eventually bring the success that the long suffering Spurs fans deserve.

I'm working late tonight, but if I do pop into the CPT for a snifter or two it won't be until about 9pm, so you never know I might catch you later.

Is it satisfying playing in the Championship? ;-) Soory Simon, but Warnock was on the radio the other day still slagging off Benitez, and I just think it's rubbish. If he had a team in the final of a cup, and his last league match didn't mean anything to him, he'd do what was best for his team, and think about the cup. That's all Liverpool did, and it's the same as any manager would do. Teams get relegated because they don't get enough points over 38 games, you can't blame it on one particular person.


That penalty was bollocks! But, these things happen, Torres' goal was great, so that's a positive. Plus the mancs lost which is always a good thing.

    • 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.
