Why did defoe only play 21 mins Jah? - was it an injury or did he not start? If he did not start then I would be amazed.



Whoops - this was due to a frozen page on fantasy football - he seems to have played the full 90.

Well, well, well..finally Utd don't get away with a poor performance.


If Arsenal beat Liverpool, a big if but they really should, then they are right back in the mix. To be fair Chelsea sounded very unlucky.


Normally I'd be laughing my arse off at the Wolves result at Tottenham (sorry Jah but I would) but the bleeding Spuds even let us down when they lose.....and push us into the bottom 3


Gonna see what's happened to the odds for the title - as an aside, West Ham were 7/1 for relegation this morning which struck me as generous but even a gambler like me can't do that.....

The BBC 10 O'clock news tonight headlined with Marc Antoine Fortune's wonder strike against Motherwell on the opening news headlines.


I was amazed until I saw that BBC has no premiership rights (to show any english footie before MOTD probably)


But - hey - look on the bright side - you guys get to see the mighty Celtic. 3 great goals. Eat your heart out PGC.

Whilst MU will have been happy with Michael Owen in mid week - yesterdays two goals from Carlos Tevez and his recent performances show that he is the one they should have retained.


To lose Ronaldo was one thing but Tevez would have played a bigger part in his absence.

Arsenal have lost to MU and Chelsea so far, so they need to show today that they can beat a big4 team. If they do Quids, then things begin to look very interesting.

If they lose then I guess they are not any worse off than they were before the weekend, but they will feel they missed an opportunity.


Arsenal missed Van Persie against Chelsea, no doubt about that, but last weekend thay played Arshavin up front as a striker and that seemed to work, so hopefully that will be a fix for their upfront problems. I think that is a good move from Wenger, better than Walcott or Eduardo.

I think a fit and physical Liverpool side should beat Arsenal this afternoon. I knew United were going to struggle as soon as Radio 5 started spouting those 'it's been 20 odd years since Villa beat United at OT' blah blah blah. Still, we should be better over Christmas!

SP - I think Arsenal are physically stronger than previous seasons - I don't think that is so much of a concern anymore. They outmuscled the Chelsea midfield in the first half a few weeks ago and control midfield possession against most teams they have played this season.


Their obvious failure is not having the firepower upfront, but hope Arshavin can do the business up front today. I'd encourage Arsenal players to shoot on sight - they still try to keep passing the ball even when they get in the box. They have to be more direct and decisive. Thay can be beautiful to watch but equally, they can be very frustrating.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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.
