Enough of this Liverpool - Man Utd guff. The Wolves v Spurs match was far more entertaining and a fitting tribute to Dean Richards who died at the tender age of 36. The tributes before the game the minute's applause from both sets of fans brought a tear to my eye. It was emotional stuff.

Have you never cried then?

LOL 'collapsed' ? He was in so much shock he punched the turf when they were sticking him on stretcher! No Nani has cried wolf enough times... what goes round comes around. No sympathy from me for that prancing prima donna. From the non photoshop pictures that I havd seen of the injury looks nothing more than a scratch. Time to move on.

Yep, couldn't agree more.


Blackpool unlucky last night, at times they were playing like champions and not the other way round. Ian Holloway you continue to win neutrals admiration for your attitude.

You'll rememeber Cesc Fabregas crashing out injured in the second leg against Barca in 2010 and missing a number of league matches at a time when Arsenal were in a similar position challenging in the PL to what they are now. With the loss of fabregas they fell away at a crucial time, all for chasing a lost cause against Barca (having lost heavily in the first leg).


I'm afraid Wenger wants to fill that gap in his record by winning the CL. So I'd expect your plea will fall on deaf ears.

Unfortunately I think you're right.

    • 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
