The Prince Albert in Bellenden Road usually show the Millwall games.

Great game of football. Arsenal are going to win nout and thats what they deserve. They dont know where the goal is. Van persie showed them how to do it and gomez was immense with 3 great saves but arsenal left it too late to begin to get efforts on goal. Well done spurs but a season of might have beens for arsenal.

I'm not an Arsenal fan - but I do find them the most interesting team in the league. They are beautiful and frustrating.


Spurs are a team on the up and a team I always liked growing up. They always played good football compared to boring Arsenal. That's part of Spurs' history.


The difference in style is not so obvious now.


But tonights game was one of the best games I have seen this season (but I don't see many to be honest). It was brilliantly intense.

You can't begrudge Spurs fans a bit of glory Mick, especially after a ten year wait to beat L'Arse in the league.

As a 'neutral' it was a great game to watch, I was surprised at Spurs' energy levels after having to play on that pitch...after his dodgy start Gomes is looking a lot better, and Bale looks the business...Evra's eventual replacement Jah ;-)

Whoops - I meant Quids - not Jah. Quids is annoying me, which I know he wants to. Jah is not - I don't mind Spurs - I don't really mind any team - we all have our good days and bad days as football fans, we have to enjoy the good ones. Hats off to Spurs, they are really strong under sandbanks arry.

A neutral? My arse. Arse would have jumped you, we can still mathmatically take top spot ( you, Arse, Chelsea lose remaining games, we win all and score over 28 goals with zero goals against)

We can certainly take 3rd if results go our way, noisy neighbours knocking on your door ! CTID

    • 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.
