What a lovely christmas present. I get to watch M.O.D, buy a newspaper ( i only ever do this if the Hammers win)and stay up to listen to Cricket. Hooray.


I'd like to know how many goals we have concede from corners this season, the lessons are not being learnt there and for that reason I still think we're doomed.


Apart from that I'm really quite optimistic!

Oh my, comic genius at its best. How did it take to put that little gem together or did you get your mum to write it for you?

Mightily pissed off with Blackpool. Got 180 miles in to a 250 mile journey yesterday only for them to do the inevitable.


The original pitch inspection was supposed to be at midday, but Spirit of Shankly put pressure in them to either call it off or do it earlier. From what I can gather Blackpool was full of Scousers last night.


Game is rearranged for 12th January. Are we expecting a heatwave between now and then?

Think you're hoping for complete free-fall there. The relegation battle is going to be very messy this year with most of the bottom half of the table being involved.

Damn, only just seen this post Quids, I would of loved to have watched the match with you :-(

...next time

I was at White Hart Lane today. A very good couple of days for us. Two wins from two games home and away with ten men. Newcastle came to rough us up but our quality passing game won the day. Two excellent goals from Lennon and Bale. Up to fourth and above Chelsea. If we can beat Fulham at home on Saturday (which we should) that's a full nine points from three games over the Xmas period and I cant remember the last time we did that. COYS!

Yep. May have been a couple of technicalities about Lee Bowyer's equaliser (foul, handball, offside), but result was the least Birmingham deserved. Lee Mason's refereeing could be described as idiosyncratic (at best). or crap because it's easier to type.

    • 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.
