I just don't get Coyle's decision? I mean he may be getting offered more money and a bigger transfer kitty, but it can't be by that much. His reputation whilst at Burnley was very good and he looked like he could be going places. He's taken quite a big risk with this move.

What a card you are, did you stay up all night writing this, or was it written for you? Hilarious, give up your day job and become a script writer, you clearly have a huge talent for it.

Sorry, really can't let this one go. Bentley has been living off that goal against Arsenal ever since and it was way back in October of 2008. What's he done since then? Fack all!


Who would you take out of the current Spurs midfield to accomodate him? That's Lennon, Huddlestone, Palacious and Kranjcar who are all playing really well at the moment and deserve their place in the team that's also bearing in mind you've still got Modric and Jenas waiting in the wings trying to get in there too. And we've not conceded a goal in five games either.

I didn't say I'd take anyone out of the team to accomodate him. I simply pointed out that he's a good player. His main problem is he lacks motivation. You've just pointed out what a task he'd have to displace some of those players. He knows he'll never get the chance with Harry so I guess his attitude may be why bother. It's a shame as it's not like Huddlestone and Jenas have always pulled up trees over last two seasons yet they always know they'll get opportunities evern if they play badly. Enough Bentley bashing.

Come on isn't that a very poor attitude to have. He should be busting a gut to get into the team. Unfortunately, he isn't. You know as well as I do no one has a divine right to play. You have to earn your place.


Anyway, I think we've got a really good chance of winning at Anfield this weekend. Come on you Spurs!

I agree that players should bust a gut and I also agree about Jamie O'Hara. I was sad to see Harry let him go on loan as he certainly always did a job for us in a number of positions. I just think that sometimes a player can get branded as arrogant or hard to handle and they find it difficult to rebuild their reputation no matter how hard they try. He really does not get many opportunities under Harry to put anything right. Anyway, enough about Bentley..I agree about the game at Anfield., weather permitting.

COME ON YOU LILYWHITES !!!

The news coming out of Angola regarding the attack on the Togolese team bus is shocking and saddening. The driver has been killed a couple of the players injured. How, and who made the decision to Angola. Will the African cup of nations be cancelled. Well ask yourself this, what happened after Israeli athletes were murdered at the 1972 Munich games, what happened after Heysel, & Hillsbrough, were the relevant events cancelled? For the love of Pete.

    • 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
