I don't like to see any club in this sort of predicament, well maybe there's one I'd like to see dopwn the toilet but that's something else. I feel for Pompey because at least they have a good loyal following. I hope they survive but I still think we'll get the result tonight.

Well if they do get wound up then Liverpool will be 3 points better off as nearly every other top team has beaten them and will be deducted those points. Of course Pompey will survive with some 11th hour rescue as usually seems to happen.


As for the Villa Liverpool game last night I got more enjoyment ironing my shirts and that was dull! Hopefully that late winner will galvanize Liverpool into a charge up the table.


On another note who was the real Footballer of the Year? i.e. 1st Jan 2009 to 31st Dec 2009. I had previously not been convinced but over the last 12 months my choice has been ripping up trees and is now a firm favourite on the Kop with his ability, stamina and mentality... no not Dirk Kuyt but actually someone who can play football, step forward Yossi Benayoun!

I was thinking about what Mathew says too. If Pompey do go under then their matches are void which makes a fair differnce at the top Man U/Chelsea/Totts and Arsenal have all beaten them I think, whereas Liverpool lost. We've only won 4 games and as one is Pompey I'm really hoping they stay afloat.....


Joking aside it would be terrible if a proper club like Pompey go to the wall.

Saw that this morning on telly - why Liverpool didn't meet the ?5m asking price (like Man U, Everton & Arsenal) and instead blew ?7m on Dossena is an absolute joke.


Looks like Rangers are running away with the SPL - 10 men and they still won 7-1!

"Just shows you how poor the SPL is."


Whoops - that was Atila's point not Matt's - sorry Matt.

Good point Declan...


Rangers have hit a brilliant bit of form Mic Mac. Anything but 3 points for Celtic on Sunday will see Mowbray under a sever amount of pressure.

It is the first Old Firm game in a long time that I've been confident going into. If Miller's red card is upheld that will be a blow, but I feel Rangers will win comfortably.


3-1.

I think Mowbray is a limited manager. He got lots of praise last season for perservering with West Brom's short passing game, but where did it get them in the end? He had no plan B when they were embroiled in a desperate relegation battle. Now at Celtic he seems to be doing the same again.

I think Martinez may be next for the chop. He's fallen into the Tony Mowbray syndrome of trying to get a group of sub standard footballers to 'play' their way out of the relegation dogfight. Better to take a leaf out of Tony Pulis' book. It's not pretty, but it's effective.

      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.
