i watched it down the boozer and thank god for the smoking ban, it meant i was able to nip outside on a regular basis, thus avoiding watching the game.

>>Uh huh. He's a decent chap, just likes to predict a defeat for the hammers more than most.<<


Yeah but no but....Sunderland won at Villa last week, are stronger at home and fighting relegation. The Hammers are safe! :))


Blades are looking for their 5th win in a row tomorrow...

Cheers for the commentary - I was a long way from a telly and if I can visit just ONE website.. this is it and I had some updates


wow - that was a game. why haven't we seen more of that character. Too little too late I fear but good to see none the less


Wenger called it on the tackle - a deserved red card (from an all to predictable source)


I no longer believe Arsenal have "a discipline problem" - but that was warranted and responsibility was accepted. More please

Good result for us yesterday, have to say I found the second half rather dull, but I'm sure Anna will disagree, but she did et to soak up the derby atmosphere.


Bit of a shocker for Spurs yesterday, and the highlights show some very dodgy defending. However, hats of to Newcastle, they loked like a different team, and nice to see Owen is still a classy finisher when he gets his chances

in light of the fact that my brother is the most committed Liverpool fan I know (and there is strong competition on here but really - you have to see this guy in action!) and the fact that he runs a pub, I was thinking of combining a visit to his pub on Wednesday evening to watch the Liverpool v Arsenal game


It's in Charlton - anyone else up for it? (Annsfield I know you won't be making it out from behind the sofa but maybe safety in numbers?)



non-involved forumites welcome - you don't have to enjoy football to enjoy watching my brother watching it!

Sean

I will be at the Emirates on Weds but would be happy to visit pub next week for the away fixture?

Yep have to say fair play to Man U, I thought Villa would b a tougher task than many, but they were brushed aside with worrying ease.


Sean not sure what my plan for Wednesday is yet, but cold be up for that as a change... Think the CPT will be more Arsenal, was considering the Railway here in Sydenham, as it is quite a Liverpool boozer...


I keep hearing people saying they think Liverpool will do the job, and I can't stand it. I'm rather nervous, they could be really exciting games if both teams play their best stuff... Just hope Torres keeps up his form for us

    • 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.
