Ahem! Gattuso had earlier grabbed and pushed Joe Jordan by the throat during the second half and after the headbutt his antics carried on in the tunnel after the game and he had to be restrained by team-mates. I stand by my view that his ban was lenient.


Re: the Blackpool result. Yup! Typical Spurs. Winners at the San Siro one week and losers at Bloomfield Road the next. I could make the excuse that we only had four fit defenders and several other players out but I won't bother and then as KPC has pointed out there is Bassong. We've proven in the past that we have the squad to cope but we defended very poorly and missed a hat full of chances. Not good enough.

Missing the chances seemed to be the bigger problem, something like 25.


Spurs' inconsistancy is reminding me of Liverpol. It's the reason teams like Untited win lots of things, because they grind out result after result, even when they're not playing great. Liverpool just never seemed to be able to do that.

We won ugly last night, but given the opposition were Stoke, thats not surprising. I hope RVP didn't play purely as a precaution against being injured and therefor out for Sunday. However, the more immediate concern is El Capitan and Theo, who is definitely out for Wembley on Sunday and more worryingly Barca. I'm hoping Cesc was withdrawn to prevent the injury getting worse. I hope he's available for Sunday.

Only strain here is having to read drivel posted by plums like you. Unlike Celtic, we play decent teams week in week out, and not just Rangers. Now jog on.

Most clubs in the prem are decent sides, the SPL, on the other hand, has 2 or 3 at best.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
