You took your chances. They said on tv that after an hour, Barca had made 400 passes, to Arsenal's 200, but you can pass it all day long, it's no good if you dont pass it in to the bloody goal! Take nothing away from Spurs, but think Arsenal get the result of the week, even though they were at home.

1st goal weren't bad either. Spurs v the Arsenal at Wembley? Lets' get real here. We will do extremely well to win at their place, and does anyone realistically expect Spurs to get to the final? I know I don't.


Jack the Lad was superb last night, but man of the match was Koscielny, who excelled last night. At last Arshavin showed us what he can do. Its only half time, and I'd be surprised if we progress, but at least our performance has stopped pundits talking about Spurs, thank god.

Given how poor the PL is supposed to be so far this season in terms of quality football, there is still a good chance of having 4 teams in the CL Q/finals. Apart from Barca who may not get through, who else is there in Europe for the English clubs to fear?

If Arsenal get through and they avoid Spurs, they both could get to the final. Better bets than United or Chelsea at the moment IMO.

Yeah, well played by Arsenal last night. Never gave up. It'll be a cracker in the Nou Camp whatever way it goes and if United don't get to the final an Arsenal v Spurs or Chelsea or any one of those combinations would be a great watch. I'd be supporting Spurs of course. ;)

    • 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.
