>>Everyone predicted the Derby thrashing but only Sean, Me and Mockney got one perfect score each<<


Yes well done (he said through gritted teeth). In "another place" Villa were my favourites to break into the "Top 4" this season so, although obviously a Nation Rejoices at today's Villa Park result, I feel exceptionally smug.....

I think England should progress tonight and have tipped them to win 2-1 but the other game that really intrigues me is the France v Scotland game and although I've tipped the French to win 2-1 I have just got a sneaking suspicion that they are a little bit past it, although they've been written off before during the last World Cup they still managed to get through to the final, albeit losing to Italy. Anyway, I'd really like Scotland to win tonight and also think that the Republic could cause a bit of shock against the Czech Republic, although obviously it will be very tough for them. Best of luck to all the British teams tonight.

Errrm, well it's quite easy if you put a business case forward to take clients ;-) and then you don't even have to pay. The only down side is that I have to be on my best behaviour!


From what I can gather, there are still tickets available up in the Gods though...

I couldn't agree more with the allocation of corporate seats (trust me, Liverpool's allocation for the CL final was terrible and mainly due to the corporate bodies involved). It's disgusting when real fans can't get to a game. In my job I get offered the opportunity to attend many sporting events, but I only accept the offers when I support the team or have a genuine interest.


Unfortunately, many of the Prawn sandwich types only go so they can say that they have been.

hear hear Jah, t*sser; few things more odious than following a team due to success. Where are all those Newcastle shirts now huh?

Luckily not something I can be accused of!!


Yes anna. Liverpool v west ham I couldn't get a ticket even as a club member as we were allocated 24,000 tickets.

1/3 of tickets went to prawns. Not only not real fans, but not even human tsk.

    • 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.
