Yeah. Like West Ham's perfectly good 90th minute winner being disallowed for a handball that no-one else other than the referee saw ...poor, old unlucky Wolves. West Ham aren't very good but Everton's 92nd minute equaliser after a frankly Bizzarre sending off and the above would have seen us with 4 more points. So the luck thing and the dodgy sdecisions thing actually break pretty even over time, so Arsenal fans moaning about Karmic influence ditto Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea saying their victimised is hysterical for us fans of the normal clubs. Some twa*t in the Observer the other day actually siad "I'm a long suffering Arsenal fan"!!!! Long suffering! Try being a fan of West Ham or Newcastle or the Blades or etc etc etc

I don't support arsenal so it does not bother ne. I'm supporting chelsea spurs and man city this year. None if whom look like winning me any money.

Quids. I'm not saying other teams aren't frequently hard done by. Or that arsenal don't sometimes get the rub of the green. I have also repeatedly said that ultimately today was arsenals fault


But


It wasn't one or even two decisions that were blatant today. Whatever the reasons, the tally by the end was bizarre and I stand by Chelsea and man utd not having to ever worry about the net total of decisions


Atticus, I'm not quite sure what your point is. A several yards offside goal last week has led to...?

MM, I know your fickle ways! I was just saying I think I'd be more gutted had that been the scenario.

I'll happily spell it out for you then.

Moyes' outburst earlier this week, might, just might have helped plant a negative seed into the heads of match officials where ref'ing Arsenal games is concerned. The revelation of your captain's tunnel outburst will have been noted by many referees, who are after all only human. Hope that's clear. Besides, surely Wolves have helped soften the blow.

Oh I don't know. There'll be no secretarian bile emanating from the stands though I should think Torres will come in for some stick and there is a bit of recent history between these two so plenty in this one to have more than a passing interest and I seriously want Liverpool to win. Come on the Pool.

I don't know what Smith does at half time, but he took a team on top of the game at HT to a team who seemed to be scared to be leading a game.

Had the opportunity to grab that game by the throat and hammer Celtic.

Naismith a silly boy for getting sent off.


Oh well, 7 games this season. Boring.

    • 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.
