Doesn't matter who Bale is up against he'll skin 'em anyway. He's in the form of his life at the moment.


I'll quite happily settle for a point at Old Trafford tomorrow but what worries me is that for the first time in my life I want Arsenal to win tomorrow. Can't have those nouveau riche upstarts grabbing 4th spot.

Although it is of course worth mentioning that Steve Finnan had him in his pocket for 120 minutes 2 weeks ago!

Try being United atm. We want Arsenal to win against City AND Liverpool to beat Chelsea. I get indigestion just thinking about it. :))

On second thoughts...you can keep him! :))

C'mon Stoke!

Evra was pretty useless defensively when he arrived at United now look at him, probably best left back in country after Ashley Cole. Bale reminds me of Riise, great going forward but a little slow on the turn.. and it appears a bit of a ball watcher judging by Nani's goal.


Looks like Chelsea have got it sown up against Stoke - 3-0 HT.


Next weekend will be interesting particularly if Spurs/Villa/City all drop points otherwise I think United will find it more difficult at Sunderland to pick up a win.

    • 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.
