He was already losing it before that England mishap whilst at Spurs.To be fair being a keeper is probably the most difficult position to play mentally. You don't get many opportunities to atone for errors, as opposed to outfield players who can make amends quite quickly as they see a lot more of the ball and the mistakes are not usually so critical.
Actually there's probably a case for all 3 of them. Didn't I read recently Wenger wanted to scrap throw ins and have the ball played in by kicking it? I think he is against the kind of thing Stoke do with Rory Delap. Of course kicking it in would eradicate that.

Presumably similar to hockey and it ball cannot leave the ground and no run ups. Didn't they experiment with this a few years ago in non-league.

If it weren't for the Yanks being in charge Rafa would probably be gone after tonight's game but as they know jack shit about football they'll probably give him at least til end of season.


One title challenge in 6 seasons is not good enough for any European giant. Too many flaws in his make-up whether it be lack of passion/man-management (see the way Liverpool players celebrated going 1-0 up without even a handshake) or cautious tactics he has simply run out of excuses. Even the most blinded fan is now texting me demanding his head on a plate - adios Rafa bring back GH!! (that last bit is a joke)

    • 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.
