I agree with that completely. I don't think midfield possession is a problem for Arsenal. They are absolutley dominatant in possession terms against almost any team, however they lack firepower upfront and van persie is not the best striker in the premiership but he may be the most missed striker in the premiership. The possession all too often comes to nothing, their ideal is to put passes through the centre of defence, but with a defence as good as Chelsea, chances will be few and far between.


On the contrary I think Chelsea's inability to control the game in possession terms may show there is hope for the chasing teams, but I'm afraid they do take their chances better then most and thats what counts at the end of the day.


Its very much Chelsea's to lose.

Ooooh, you are so sensitive Jah. I actually did not mean it that way, but as I typed it I did think someone might read that into it.

I quite like Spurs and I like Harry too, so I hope you do well.

Difficult to call as Arsenal play at home 27th Dec to Villa then travel down to Portsmouth on 30th only to be back in town for 2 Jan West ham will be concentrating on the league as will be lying in 14th at this point.


Even better quote from standard is Carlo Ancelotti is hoping to meet Elton John when Chelsea play Watford in the cup draw...." He is one of my heroes" hmmmmmm

I think you're probably right. When we played in the final last year Ferguson played a slightly weaker side and they won. I think if he plays the team that played last week in Europe and Spurs are full strength I think we could edge it. Otherwise, I think Spurs will be out.

    • 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
