It is a shame about the clashes as it was a cracking game which we dominated until they scored their 2nd when we just fell apart at the back chasing it.


I always laugh at David James but he was superb today and kept Pompey in it.

Hello Declan


I do like football, although I do not understand all the rules. My team is Manchester United and, when in my twenties/thirties I regularly used to attend their matches. At school I had this dreadful crush on George Best (RIP Georgie). In fact I received something like one week's detention because I "engraved" his name on one of the school desks. Does that answer your questions?;-)

For Declan (and me)...hope the rest of you don't mind. In memory of a field genius:

Thank you LM. Reminds me of days gone by. I never even saw him play as I was stuck in the middle of Ireland, but when he left MU I was devastated and I don't use that word lightly. The slightly curious thing was that years later he was just a few feet away from my table in a restaurant in Mayfair as he left with a beauty on his arm. I couldn't nor did I wish to say anything to him. I was glad to see him though.

well neither did I. I was still at school/living at home and my parents were poor. By the time I was working and could afford to attend matches, he had left Man. U.

Me too! Gosh I can totally relate...

A memory to treasure, I'll bet.

Before I leave this thread...one final treat...just watch the way his legs accelerate and manoevre past the other players...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytSt7EnHhXc&feature=related

You saw him...oh now I'm really envious...was he really as wonderful "in the flesh"?

      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.
