They got their Xmas present from us yesterday Mick..;-)


I'm not convinced about Lennon becoming Celtic manager, the next managerial appointment for the Bhoys is critical, especially when you factor in that in 2011 only the SPL champions can enter the CL qualifying round...

I've been thinking the same about Pleat for a while, he's so much a Spurs man but he always seems to work on the Spurs games. He's not great on the rest but on those it becomes embarrassing, he started defending the Spurs fans for their Campbell abuse on five live the other night..


Back to yesterday and a bit of reflection City really bottled it, not sure what went wrong. Johnson can be great when he's going at people but whenever he cut inside, as he always will as he's on the 'wrong' wing, he played a short ball every time instead of driving in or crossing. Partly because United's defence was packed in there for sure, but also it seemed to be either bottle, or instruction. Similarly the back four and midfield were so far back we essentially conceded 2/3 of the pitch whenever we weren't in possession up till the last half hour or so. Overall just too much respect for a team which could have been beaten if we'd gone at them from the start,



And while I'm here I lost of lot of respect for Rooney with his cheating to get Kompany booked.

Title number 53 here we come. Trouble is, as Sir Walter said, we've had no pressure nad become a little complacent over the last few weeks. But we always knew we had too much in the tank to let it slip.

Not really. I don't think we deserved to win and said why, and I don't like to see cheating like that from anyone.


Hopefully after last minute goals in 3 games like that we'll have learnt some kind of lesson.

Don't you know the rules Anna.


A family man day out = 3 months notice. 1 day = no chance!

    • 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.
