3-2-1... back in the room.


I'm deeply disturbed by this David Bowie/Arsenal association. It's not everyday you find out that one of your heroes (see what I did there) might be a closet Gooner.


I've met Pat Jennings too on a few occasions at White Hart Lane and he's Tottenham through and through. Lovely fella. Hands like shovels.

Jimmy..


( your stocking garter is showing BTW )


Atila is taking some well earned R & R


He needs no further provocation on here during his " sabaticle "


I understand that you support The Tottenham Hotspurs Football Team


Well I am a fan of The Arsenal Football Team ,so any further barbed jabs in the supporter/antagonism stakes can be directed here



To me



Thank you in anticipation

Hold on...



I'm not on heroin....maybe the odd opium pipe with you know http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-450089/The-Queen-self-confessed-Arsenal-fan.html who in the old north stand


But she's discreet enough about it



"Goal.."


"Sorry, oh yes hello "



You had to have been there...

Chelsea at home. We lost at Stamford Bridge already.

Liverpool have beaten United the last 3 times and if everyone is fit I'd expect them to beat United again. The games against Everton and United seem to really focus Rafa on the task in hand and he rarely makes mistakes in team selection for these very important fixtures - plus the players are able to self-motivate themselves in this kind of game.


The Chelsea game is the final home fixture of the season for Liverpool on the penultimate weekend of the season.

OK Mr. Lush, I'll admit that Liverpool are generally (in my not so humble opinion;-)) the only serious rival to my beloved Man. U...but last year was last year...things are not exactly looking bright red for OrganPond at the mo...are they now?

    • 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.
