Benitez has come out and said that Inter Milan will be even better now. How's that then? They've just won the Champions League and a domestic double. You going to top that then Rafa?

The new Inter coach is quoted as saying: "We are not yet a complete team - but the players show that they are intelligent and can do what I ask."

Do you get the impression that he may have thought some of the players at Liverpool were a little bit thick? Perhaps Carragher didn't understand his zonal marking or something.

No, indeed. As I say though, I can't see past United, or Chelsea (unfortunately). I genuinely hope City & Spurs do push it, and of course the pool, as it would make it interesting.


I see 'Arry claims Cole wanted to come to Spurs, and that they will challenge for the title this season.

That looks like a typical Harry dig at Levi to me about funds. I don't think spuds will challenge for the League if they get into the group stage of Europe. However....*gulps*.....without that, I do think they have a decent enough squad to be a reasonable outside punt...


*spits out bad taste from mouth*

City, Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Chelsea will all be able to beat each other home and away. Spurs & Villa will be able to nick a few points as well at home so could be a great PL season. I personally think title will go to Chelsea - with most likely challenger being City.


Top 4:


Chelsea

City

Liverpool

United

    • 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.
