Didn't know you could get sparkling Buckfast.

I thought it was a great game, fantastic performance from Inter and to an extent justice done after the fellah rolled around to get Motta sent off. Inter hardly went out to attack before that but from that point it was pure shut up shop and Barcelona couldn't break it down. Like quids says, maybe the media will stop fawning over their every move now.

Good luck to Fulham in Hamburg! Watched the lap of honour and pitchside interviews and boy did they enjoy the moment!


Shame about Liverpool having to play extra time and morale now totally shattered from that late Forlan strike as it'll be almost impossible now to put up any resistance on Sunday.

Commiserations to all you Liverpool fans. You must be feeling pig sick after that. Bit like how I felt after the FA Cup semi-final with Portsmouth. I blame that magpie on the pitch but you have a perfect chance to redeem yourselves on Sunday but you'll be thinking that might let Man Utd in to win the Premiership and you won't be wanting that will you.


Brilliant result for Fulham. For me Roy Hodgson is manager of the season whether he wins the final in Hamburg or not.

I've got a nagging feeling that Chelseas will win this weekend then lose to Wigan and hand us the title anyway!

    • 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.
