that maybe. But the fact that they should hsve had a freekick and Gallas off with a red rather thsn a goal against is mainly what they are moaning about. Can you imagine what Wegner would be saying?

The ref on the night was awful. Every decision seemed to go to Bolton. Over the course of a season refs make some shocking decisions last night was no exception.A team is under no obligation to kick the ball out when a man is down especially if the player down is one of the team in possession. We've been on the receiving end of some shocking tackles, Adebayors kick on Van Persies head for example. Bolton chose to play on and we won the ball and scored. Stop crying Coyle, 2 nil and you fcuked it up.

Nice of the Arsenal fans to cheer when Mark Davies was carried off after Gallas's horrendous tackle. That's really sporting of them don't you think? Cunts!


Spurs had a perfectly good goal disallowed and two possible penalty appeals turned down last night which for me changed the course of the game. I thought Howard Webb had a bit of a shocker and showed himself to be a homer. That's the way it goes sometimes.

I thought you were determined to ignore me? I know you can,t bless you. Try not to let the green eyed monster take over your deluded thinking. Rags fans have cheered when opposition players have injured as have scum fans so it's a case of pot calling the kettle black. As if I give a shit about what Rags or a scum fan thinks. The holier than thou mantle is not one either of you can adopt with any credability. Rags losing against citeh, scum losing us winning, it doesn't get any better. Bring it on.

It's a different situation, completely. The ref saw the Eduardo tackle and sent the guy off, action was taken therefore the FA can't act retrospectively. Gallas foul the referee didn't see it, and the rule is if that's the case then the FA can act. This is the bit I don't get.


So there's no consistency - in one case the rules were followed, the other not.

What irks me about the Gallas foul was the thought of how he reacted to the Eduardo injury. Wasn't that the game when he sat on the pitch afterwards and wouldn't come off? A fine example for a captain to set. You would think that he would try not to do to another player what he saw done to his teammate if it upset him so much.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, City fan here. CTID.

      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.
