Well he was FROM Manchester

Funnily enough I agree about Collymore - for a bloke who I'd always marked down as a tool, he's made me think again. I also like Dury and.....unfashionably, Lawrenson. Green's a cliche, Motson was well well past his sell buy date and MOTD crew are generally far too chummy and close to the players IMO, although Dixon shows some promise.

Chiles great on MOTD 2 but not so good on ITV so far but his panel don't help him.


Beglin - too critical of players and dull

Green - too critical of players, referees, managers, traffic, weather etc etc was much better years ago

Collymore - shouts too much and if you followed his opinions over the course of a season he always contradicts himself


Enjoy listening to Pearce (now he has toned down) John Murray and John Campion is OK - and Nevin and Marcotti.


Still enjoy listening to Jimmy Armfield - he's comfy, warm, reassuring, like listening to the football with your grandad sat by the fire. Like Peter Jones and Bryan Butler he'lll be missed when he's gone.


Neville has done TV before and was pretty good although surprise, suprise he didn't always know when to shut up.

Murphy, spot on! esp Arnfield.


Just to add about Colin Murray. I did my utmost to dislike him, professional kopite etc... but unfortunately I think he's really good, asks questions from the fans' perspective. The Friday night prog on 5 live with Nevin and Groves is fantastic, a breadth of fresh air.


On tele though he seems intent on being slightly irreverent, probably to make his mark, definitely better on radio, for now.

    • 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.
