Although Arsenal are not the strongest team (hence home & away defeats to both Utd and Chelsea) they have a significantly easier run in to the title than either Utd or Chelsea which will be made a lot smoother if they lose to Porto in CL tomorrow night.

Matthew 123 has said this on many occasions, he has often made reference to the fact that, and these are his words "Arsenal are physically weak", but I noticed when we beat Liverpool both home and away, he didn't mention it then. Perhaps because this would have made his own beloved Liverpool, by his own definition, weaker than Arsenal.

Fabulously astute analysis Atila!;-)

I think relatively speaking Arsenal are physically weaker than Liverpool, United and Chelsea (hell look at their continual injury list!) ... and you could also say they are weaker than Bolton, Blackburn etc. But my remark was about Arsenal not being the strongest/best team in the division.

Then using your criteria, we are stronger than Liverpool, Bolton and Blackburn. We haven't lost to any of those teams. Secondly, the only team I thought we were physically overrun was the home loss to Man U.We certainly didn't look weak when they, ONLY JUST beat us at their place, with the help of a dubious penalty decison, but thats one of those things, we didn't look phyically weak at Stamford Bridge and didn't play that badly. This physically weak thing is nonsense. Getting injured doesn't mean that our players are weak, unlucky, certainly, victims of some overly zealous challenges, oh yes. But physically weak? Diaby, Song, Vermaelen, Eboue, these do not come across as weak players, and Campbell certainly isn't weak . The easiest man to push off a ball, regularly fall over, I've ever seen play in the Prem is Emile Heskey, and how big is he!!!!


Arsenal physically weak, as the French would say NON!

Well it was a bit unbecoming for a gentleman to be kicked out of his own thread. Provocation I'd say.


PS How did he show you?

Double standards have been applied here. Whatever the provocation, he was banned and rightly so. Does this mean we can all start name calling, beg forgiveness and be let back in?

Was he also at the game on Saturday when the kid had a blinder and scored an excellent goal?

Just like you're team son. Chosen ones? For what, the butt of everyones jokes? As for crap, your team is littered with it as are your fans and your club.

      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.
