I've always thought that Anelka is a class act. I remember watching Aresenal at The Lane. We (spurs) were winning 1-0 and in no danger of losing. He came on for the final 15 minutes and we ended up clawing on for a 1-1 draw. Just glad that he didn't start that game.

if I have time for proper grub I always head to Iznik

Iznik


much handier for the old Highbuy obviously but still doable - and very good it is too



The cafe on the corner of Holloway Road as you turn left out of H&I tube was a haunt as well


other than that I can't vouch for anywhere else - soz

Off to the home of football to watch the real gods of London take on some mob from white hart lane. As far as eating out goes I'm very lucky, I'm from a Turkish Cypriot background and get great treatment from my fellow Turkish restaurant owners. COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My son and I are in the Green Quadrant, row 28, excellent seats.
I don't have a favourite per se as I use loads of them but there is one at the bottom of Blackstock Road, the Finsbury Park tube end, which is very nice but I can never remember the name ( ahem.... nothing to do with the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol before hand)!!

So we have to go to spuds all square, after a game which, on the balance of chances, and the team we put out, they should have won............but didn't. It wasn't a great game, and I heard many of the fans leaving the game saying they thought it was actually a poor game. Well all I can say is, You'll never beat the Arsenal!!!


Allardyce the walrus has gone. GOOD!!!!! I hope it's a long time before anyone is stupid enough to give this xenophobic, "everything thats bad about our game is down to foreigners" twat a job.

The thing about Newcastle's search for a new manager is, when you review the names they have discarded over the last 9 years, can they really do any better? If you don't achieve something with the liges of Robsons, Dalglish etc then maybe some of the blame lies with you?


That said Allardyce going is at least the right thing. Apart from his negative football, here is someone who won't talk to the BBC but write a column for Zoo magazine.

Sean, Dalglish is a f**king rubbish manager!!!


At Liverpool he was a figurehead, the team was actually managed by the "boot room", and he was the face for the media. Great player, and at that time, I probably could have won everything with that team.


Blackburn were the first team to effectively buy the title. Since then he's failed everywhere, think of Celtic.


Not sure Robson is that much better really.


That said, they need to get someone in and stick with him. Big Sam was Freddy Shepheard's man, which is probably why he's gone. They also need to stick 2 fingers up to the idiot fans who seem to think they will get the right man and suddenly be top of the world without any time to build anything! Currently they are behind Villa, Spurs, Portsmouth, Man City and Blackburn to name but a few.

    • 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.
