Lets hope they have never played on grass before...


Interesting that Harry Rednapp said Spurs have a plastic pitch at their training ground but that "the lads refuse to play on it". Maybe a bit of practice over the last couple of weeks would not have gone amiss.


I presume UEFA only allow them in european competition where the league/country in which the team is playing requires an all weather surface due to adverse weather eg russia, switzerland etc.

Half the Brazilian team honed their skills with no shoes kicking cans around. No excuses.

Spurs fans are going to have to swallow their pride, on last night's evidence they need Gallas.

I'm sure and hope Spurs go through, but in the group stages they will face a lot more cuter teams than YBB, their defence just doesn't look up to it when Ledley isn't playing.

Apparently Shay Given has chosen Celtic and its up to the clubs to make it happen for him. Here's hoping they can do it. A good keeper makes a massive difference to a team. Gordon Strachan's team would have struggled to win anything without Boruc and we need a good replacement.

    • 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.
