Or as the Platters san - Oh yes I'm the great pretender - dedicated to old saggy chops. As for winning anything, FA Cup, you're 'aving a larf.

Wow yet another classic from spurs psycho hatchet man. AS ususal spuds fans with short memories your own keeper was the holder of the clown of the premiership title not that long ago. Couldn't catch water in a bucket if memory serves me right.

Bridge is a poor defender anyway, so no loss there. Cole may not be fit, which would be a shame as despite being a tosser he is a good player. It will porbably be a case of a right footed player filling in at left back, though Gareth Barry used to be a left back. Also there's always the young Gibbs from that other North London team. I'm sure my old mucker Atila will agree with me for once on that call.

There is certainly a dearth of good left backs in this country but I suppose Nicky Shorey is now in with a pretty good chance though I don't rate him either.

If only Gareth Bale was English. He gave another masterful attacking full-back display last night against Bolton and since he's come back into the side has got better and better and his confidence is sky high. Certainly one of the best in the Premiership on current form.

jagielka's a centre half though isn't he?


atila- gomes might have had a shaky start but there aren't too many better keepers in the prem now


after watching fabianksi and almunia in recent months i think chelsea's reserve keeper 'hilario' would be apt for arsenal right now

Why should he? He's still the best player for the job as England captain in my view. He might not be a gentleman like Bobby Moore but he's a natural leader on the pitch.

Well I just wonder if Terry is going to get Beckhamesque type treatment BEFORE The World Cup. I don't know if his obvious dip in form is due to this current scenario or that he is just over the hill. Admittedly England would have a problem at CH as well as LB without Terry and Cole, but play like Brazil and it wont matter.

    • 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
