Rafa transfer fund? Blimey you're trying to pay people to take him off your hands, that's a bit drastic!!!!

that was cheating end of. Doesn't matter about contact/no contact in this instance. He was still in full control of the ball and realised he was getting too close to another Brum defender. Carsley was stupid lunging in as he didn't need to, but how anyone can look to justify that with "intent" is ridiculous.

But there wasn't intent to commit a foul. Intent to commit a foul was McManus against Hearts a couple of weeks back. This challenge was an intent to get the ball, nothing else.

There was absolutely no need for him to go down, he was still in control of the ball. In fact, he didn't just go down, he went up and then down!!!!

Or Carsley assumed N'Gog was going to pull the ball back and dived in to block. N'Gog read his intention and dived over him.

In fairness all of the clubs we support have players who have been guilty of a similar offence in recent years, for example Van Nislerooy, Rooney, Pires, Eduardo, Gerrard, Cole et al. So I think to be fair we shouldn't blow it out of all propotion. As undeyfying as it is, we all know it goes on. If i'm honest the worst I've seen which effected my own club, has to be Rooneys dive to gain a penalty at old trafford when we were on for a 50 game unbeaten run. But hey ho, that's life. Ngog was still out of order. Unfortunately I don't think it will be the last we see of such behaviour.

SP. Setanta folded because of over paying for its EPL rights (if you meant setanta).

      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."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
