Arsenal having made headway last weekend completely messed it up in mid week. Have to say I doubt their calibre now, too many slip ups against mediocre teams already (eg west ham:)) ). A bit worrying. I thought they had some bad luck in earlier matches but too many recent cock ups suggest they don't have enough grit.


Roy Keane's motto when MU captain is something Arsenal could bear in mind: "Match them for effort and our class will tell". Arsenal definately have the class but do they have the effort to beat the lesser teams.

Well its hard to deny they have had some opportunities missed recently SP. One or two is forgivable, but 3 suggests they don't have it. But like the end of last season, they can go on a run at any time and thats what they need to do now to make sure MU and Chelsea do not disappear over the horion. I hope they keep in touch, I'm an arsenal fan this season just because I backed them, but I have to say in paying more attention to them, I am now really beginning to enjoy watching them. The Burnley result worried me though.

Roy Keane is, was and will always be a coont of the highest order so nobody gives the arse the time of day.

On this form, Liverpool will soon be down there with them!!! Fair play to Pompey, but WHAT THE F**K?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?


I just don't get it, Alsonso was not the key man last year, yes a good player, but how can we go from one point off of the top, to this?


Don't know what to say, don't know what to suggest, just know we look f**ked.

    • 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.
