Having seen the goal this morning I thought that the ref made a rod for his own back by first stopping Sunderland from taking a quick free kick, presumably because either the ball was moving or it was taken from the wrong place. When Turner then took the kick the ref wasn't even watching so he appeared to be chancing his arm. Having said that I could see nothing wrong with it. I did think Gerrard should have been sent off later though.

You cannot be offside if you are behind the ball when it is played


In regard the free kick, Turner played the ball from the spot the free kick was given. Turner and the Keeper were in noddy land whilst Torres latched onto what he thought was a dopey back pass.


As for Steve Bruce. What a &*^%! When Carragher and Skrtel clashed heads Bruce was yelling at the officials for allowing Skrtel to be treated on pitch as he wanted game to be re-started with 11 against 9.

Despite the fact that they lost, and deservedly so, to Man City on Saturady I can't see beyond them for the title.


Arsenal were woeful on Saturady, well done to WBA. The Arsenal defending was non existent and Almunia was worse.


What to say about Fergusons charges? Hmmm, conceding two goals in each of their past four games doesn't have the look of champions about it. If Arsenal can't beat the likes of WBA at home and Ferguson can't get the better of Bolton, they've got no chance.


Also well done to both City and the Hammers

If only Woskincy or whatever his name is had kept his trap shut he might be given a chance ? he is currently 4th cgoice but with the 3 in front doing so badly, Wenger might have given him a shout soon (which is partly his complaint I know)


But young un?s who pipe up in the media aren?t looked on kindly by Wenger. Whether he has that luxury or not is open to debate

Fabianski in goal for The Arsenal tonight, and Mr. Wenger claims he has total belief in his abilities. Hmmmm. In the same way that I think Spurs have a genuine chance of winning the title after a 50 year wait and that Mr. Redknapp really is as good as he thinks he is.


Mr. Wenger you are genuinely deluded, get rid and get a decent keeper, two decent defenders, a decent tough tackling Midfielder a la Viera, and a decent striker. Other than that, no worries!!!

    • 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.
