If you were going to fall in love, you could have picked a better club. One that wins things. Have you ever thought of changing?

To say Liverpool? Who haven't won the title for.......remind me. Or say, excuse me while I gag, Tottenham who haven't won the title since, well ask Jah, he knows.


But seriously folks, support for a club is uncondtional, and is not dependent on your team winning. I've supported my team through good times and bad and so it will remain. I am not a fairweather supporter, and am not one of those that follows a club only through the good times. Glory hunters I believe they are called, ask anyone thats supported Man U since the early nineties, they'll know what that means. B)

It wasn't meant in a derogatory manner Mockney - or have I totally got the wrong end of the stick here? My Madrid team is Atletico, in fact they're my Spanish team having seen them play and visited the Calderon a few times now. I was quite pleased to see the Galacticos torn apart and made up to see Barca win. Brought back happy memories of their 4-0 drubbing at Anfield only 20 months ago.


Apparently, the majority of last night's team came through their academy.


I'm also flying home from Bucharest via Barcelona on Friday night, so I'm looking forward to a night out there!


Anyhoo, to think that Liverpool beat both of those teams in recent years, goes to show just had bad things have got at Anfield (the real home of football ;-) )

    • 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.
