Yeah - like they score about 20 goals a season, all added together.

I wouldn't worry about it Mick as Celtic can only afford Arsenals yesterday men like Hartson and Freddie, also some of the players are midfielders who feed strikers rather than score but I won't let that get in the way of your huge footballing wisdom.

But I thought City had the best fans in the world and all lived local. I bet Dzeko is trying to find that bloke who told him City had the most supporters in Manchester. It was only ?15 to get in last night as well. Maybe as it was a night game they were worried they would miss the last train back to Stockport :))

Actually there was a University that did a study of Utd and City season ticket holders a few years ago. Utd had more season ticket holders in Manchester than City did.


Utd have also had higher crowds than City every single year since 1946, not all Utd fans are Johnny come lateley's, although plenty are of course. Years ago you used to see Liverpool shirts everywhere, then Utd and Arsenal and more recently Chelsea, sure it will change again soon.


Out of interest Emerson where did you grow up, Islington I presume?

To be precise, just up the road from the Angel not too far from Highbury Corner is where I lived when I was small.

Thanks Jah.


As I said, I really enjoyed the Spurs game. The only disappointment and, I think, the reason that Spurs didn't win was that Bale disappeared a bit. If he'd have played us the way he played Inter we would have been in real trouble. As far as the sending off went I think it was a stupid first tackle and any defender who gets a booking that early has to be very, very careful as it only take one bad decision to get a second yellow. United's defending was superb which was a bonus (and it had to be).


Tonight, for one time only I shall be cheering on Leeds. Shame Beckford isn't still playing for them ;).

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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.
