And it goes without saying I wouldn't be happy for either of these two to win anything at all.

Many thanks for your support Anna - and you are right about Torres!

Dont get me wrong Jah, I'd love Spurs to win the CL. The only thing thats wound me up this season is the way the fans have often talked like they're old hands at being a top team, rather than on an exciting journey on the way up. Dont know what it is about Arsenal, but I just never get excited about them these days, I preferred the team of the late 90s as they were exciting. Yes Arsenal play great football, but it's somehow too clinical for my tastes. Still, I'd rather them than United or Chelsea, especially given the latter's recent signing.

His attitude was appalling. Funny how he always seemed to score against Chelsea isn't it. If I was Roy Hodgson I'd be really pissed off because he obviously didn't want to play for him.

Well you two experts are both wrong. He didn't come from Benfica.

Obertan has decided it's easier in France.

    • 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.
