Well done to West Ham last night as nobody else seems to want to mention it. Wouldn't have been too bad for Manc supporters getting home last night as most of then live in London. ;-)

How does it feel when an old boy does that to you? Somebody I know who is a Manc supporter tried to brush the loss off as a mere blip, but I had to point out to him that regardless of the personnel on parade, this was a top versus bottom clash, and therefore pride is a major factor. He wasn't happy.


I went to the home of football to watch a very mediocre afair, but I suppose we won and thats the main thing.

Haha, and slowly the Emerson Crane/Atila the whoever wind-up bus gathers speed.


It was a great result for WH last night. Congratulations and good luck for an extended run at the cup.


It was nice to see Fergie on the touchline, animated, like the days of old, really getting involved.

Anyway, us glory hunters can't be too disappointed with being outplayed and I'm sure that we'll use it as a lesson. That, or we're in terminal decline if you believe certain Gooners on here. :)

Just for clarification, I refer to Arsenal as the home of football, previous posts refer. As for Everton not winning, well nothing new there then.

I find it strange that it took others comments to prompt Manc supporters to grudgingly offer praise to the Hammers for their perforamnce last night. Strange, but not surprising.

Erm, I wasn't online. Unlike you, I don't sit on here waiting to trot out the same tired old lines 24/7.


In fact, I'm beginning to think you are a spambot. That would explain a lot. Also, what was grudging about it. I said they won fair and square and congratualted them. At this point, if it was Arsenal, you would probably be bleating on about how they bullied you into losing, or the weather was a bit cold for your boys. :)

And you have the nerve to say my lines are tired? Touched a nerve yet again have I? Oh yes, and we didn't lose.;-)

Blues making the semi-finals to. And no sweeter way of doing than beating the V*le. Only regret not being able to make it up there this evening. And now I'll have a whiskey in my whiskey and see who we get in the draw.


A quiet encounter in East London awaits. So that's Millwall and West Ham both away in the same week!

Income generation is not to be sniffed at these days PGC, but I take your point


I haven?t liked the finger wagging at the BBC and Times for running the FIFA allegations and the huffy ?the timing hasn?t helped?. No it probably hasn?t but then that isn?t the main consideration if the allegations are true


But let?s assume that corruption is rife and blah de blah, the WC is going to end up SOMEWHERE, so I would be happy to see it here. Then again, if it goes somewhere else I won?t be weeping into my pillow


I?m still recovering from the Gary Linaker story tho

Really hope we get the World Cup, if we don't the next likely date is 2030. Some FIFA officials are no doubt very dodgy but liked the line I heard on the radio the other day "No doubt the BBC will be running a Panorama special on the royal family 3 days before the Royal Wedding".

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
