I'd forget your calculations Matthew. I think they are all over the place.

I'd be delighted though I seem to remember they were 2 up last season at OT before the ref intervened and brought MU back into it.

Good to see there is still some honour in Football Management, as Zola considers his future overnight to whether it is he that is the problem for what is happening on the pitch down at West Ham.


"I need to find out what is the problem - and if the problem is me. I will have to think about that overnight. I don't think it's that the players are not trying. The bottom line is to see whether I can help them or not."

Jah


Just watching MOTD and Gary Linekar just said "Arsenal have played virtually the whole season without a goal scoring centre forward......"


Thats pretty much the point I was making.


As he is a Spurs hero - you have to accept he and me know more than thee :)

He said a centre forward. You said striker. There are different types of strikers are there not? If you'd said centre forward I'd have agreed with you but you didn't you said striker. Perhaps next time you'll be more specific.

Striker = Centre Forward to most people Jah?. You can have lots of forwards but the striker is the one that plays front and centre. Thats what Arsenal have had to play without.


But good to know you would have agreed with me had I used the right terminology.


More importantly Arsenal have played the whole season with a crap goalkeeper as further evidenced on Saturday.

      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."
