Something to do with when he was in Scotland - Gatusso is married to a Scots lady and he used to play for Rangers?

So they exchanged a bit of verbal. You get that all the time. So what. Not only did Gattuso headbutt him but earlier in the game he grabbed Jordon by the throat. Winding players up is part and parcel of the game. Gattuso can dish it out but he certainly can't take it.

I was looking at United's fixture list after the international break and its going to be very difficult. I think over 5 weeks they will play Chelsea 3 times, Arsenal & West Ham away plus City in semi final. Fortunately for them none of these blockbusters are within 4 days of each other but its to be asking a lot. Reminds me a little of the great Arsenal team few years back who had very similar run in when it proved a bit too much and I don't see it being any better for United.


I make it a Chelsea v Barcelona final.

Joe Jordan should have been hung, drawn and quartered after what he did in 1977 in an act of cheating that would have made even Diego Maradona blush. I have no sympathy for Joe Jordan.

Yup, trophyless season for United this season. The run in is too tough for a team that ranges from ok one week to mediocre for the rest of the time. I suppose the FA Cup might be winnable if we get past City. I can't see Chelsea winning the European Cup though.

That second Chelsea goal today was pure class.. they looked a much stronger team with Anelka and Drogba. Torres simply does not look like the electric player he was at Liverpool. If anyone is going to stop United winning title then it's Chelsea as for me the wheels are falling off the Arsenal wagon.

      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.
