Very encouraged by that result, bouncing back from Saturdays disappointment. Big game against The Toffees next! KRO!

I'm very much looking forward to the Man United v AC Milan game tonight on the telly. I feel it could still go either way with the quality that Milan have. If they score first it's game on but if United score first it's game over for Milan. Should be an intersting and very entertaining game.
And if Milan had taken their chances in that first half too. It could be a very different story if they get the same sort of chances and put them away this time. I think Ronaldinho and Clarence Seedorf will have a major say in how things turn out. United have never knocked out Milan in any previous European ties stretching back 51 years. Can't wait to get home and watch it.
I got it wrong last time as I predicted a Milan win as I think they're a very good team with some quality players. Pato is a brilliant young Brazilian striker and Ronaldinho seems to be getting back to his impish best. However, I don't think they'll overturn a home defeat tonight. Can't see United letting a lead like that slip. I actually think the Real Madrid v Lyon game will be a much more interesting match seeing as Lyon are taking a 1-0 lead to the Bernabau. Hell of a lot at stake for Madrid and Pellegrini their coach, who is under mounting pressure even though he's got Real playing some great football and joint top of the Spanish league.

Milan simply haven't got the legs to suppress United's all action tactics for 90 minutes. Only way I can see them beating United by 2 goals is if the killer punches are delivered in the final minutes so United cannot overrun them in response when upping the tempo.


From what I have seen of Lyon they are a very poor team and so I expect Madrid to make short work of the French tonight.

I've just received a message from Atila. Here it is:


I'd would like to say that I'm delighted with the performance of Arsenal yesterday and i'm very happy with a broad smile across my face. Isn't the world a wonderful place? Spring is in the air and the flowers will be blooming soon. I See friends shaking hands saying how do you do. They're really saying, I love you. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.. Oh, and I'd also like to wish good luck to all the other English clubs in europe this week. :):):)

    • 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.
