I see the Blue sh*te have had their new stadium plan rejected..


So plan B is this bollox from the Everton CEO :


"A shared stadium is perhaps an option if it's affordable. We have to look at where we can raise money, because potentially Liverpool will have to obviously contribute to that, and Liverpool City Council perhaps might need to find some money. Our history is one of creativity and innovation and if we are the first major English club to look at sharing then we're not scared of making those decisions."

> Hart sacked apparently - Ratty?


Apologies - been avoiding this thread because it is utterly tedious and I do not give a toss about Man U Arsenal or Liverpool.


Yes, inevitably Paul Hart, nice guy but clueless manager, has been given the boot. Noises form inside Fratton suggest Avram Grant will take over later today, but all my contacts within the club now play for Tottenham so I do not really have a clue!


Gone off football to be honest! Modern Warfare 2 is taking over my life!

Not to subvert the thread (though likewise give not a shit abou the top 3 arsenal, man u and chelsea, not that anyone talks about Chelsea, but when are you going to help me with those two player spec ops missions. And saw you've been dipping toes into multiplayer at last!!

Funny that isn't it we never get any Chelsea chit chat - as you'd imagine south London would be one of their heartlands but I guess that shows what a mickey mouse club they are even with all those billions they still have a small fanbase.


Tbh SP although it's been great beating Chelsea and Arsenal at Anfield I'd rather knock out a top continental team - probably the only disappointment from 2005 was having a semi final trip to Stamford Bridge rather than the trip/scalp of Bayern Munich. It was such a damp squib being at the Bridge when you consider the rest of the route to winning the CL that season.

I can't stand Chelsea - but they do have a 'propa' and large fanbase that's pretty extensive accross South London (SW especially) and the western side of the South East but their old school fans probably don't by and large p1ss about on middle class internet forums with the 'newbie' fans that tend to inhabit them...Chelsea's plastic newbie fanbase is ironically enough extensively based around Chelsea, Fulham and all of them yuppie areas.....

    • 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.
