Saturdays footy


Arsenal 2 - Manure 1

Aston Villa 2 - Derby 0

Blackburn 1 - Liverpool 0

Everton 2 - Birmingham 1

Fulham 0 - Reading 2

Boro 1 - Spurs 1

Toon 1 - Pompey 2

Wigan 0 - CSKA Fulham 3(It pains me to predict such a result, but I can't see Wigan getting anything here)

Arsenal 2 - Man U 2 (This is so tough to call. Arse are playing great footy, whilst Manc scummers are scoring like it's going out of fashion... Could go either way, and not sure what I'd prefer, draw sounds good to me) :-S


Aston Villa 2 - Derby 0


Blackburn 1 - Liverpool 3 (I know this could be wishful thinking, I just think we're due a really good performance, and a win here would be really bloody useful right now!)


Everton 2 - Birmingham 1


Fulham 1 - Reading 2


Boro 0 - Spurs 2 (Surely this is the place for Spurs to pick up some away points!)


N'Castle 2 - Pompey 2


Wigan 1 - 2 Chelski (Wigan put up still opposition for Man U and Liverpool at home, don't think it'll be a walk over... That said, I thought Man City would give them a match!).

I guess everyone has based predictions on Blackburns good home form and the fact that Liverpool aren't too great away from home.

Yes, but Blackburn are a good side at home, which gives themn the upper hand I think having seen them play a few times this season.

To be fair I would be happy with a draw being that they're ahead of us in the table, but a win would be nice so we can leap frog them.


I quite like Blackburn actually, they have some good players. I do however despise Robbie Savage more than any other "footballer"! He is the dirtiest cheat in the game!


Fortunately he's injured this week, so won't be diving all over the place trying to get our whole team sent off!

Robbie Savage, you've just hit a nerve with me Keef, what a knob he is!!! I remember when Reyes flicked his hair a couple of seasons back & he went down like he'd been shot. Wow, what a macho man!!!

Could be worse, I could be a CSKA Fulham follower saying how wonderful we played last night against the might of Leicester, and that Fat Frank is world class. ;-)

Do the so called "experts" "pundits", call them what you will, really think we have a realistic chance of qualifying, given the fixtures that remain? I'm all for being optimistic, but come on, aren't we in danger of making ourselves look a little ridiculous in the eyes of the rest of Europe?

    • 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.
