Deesaster.....Hells Bells is right. Can't quite believe it. Must have been over confidence. And poor defending by all accounts. Can't see Rangers dropping points......if I wasn't going to Ireland to play golf for four days I think I'd cry......


Had the usual text from a Rangers friend. Supercaleygobalisticcelticareatrocious, thought I'd heard the end of that one.

Hmmm I don't believe this one originated at Liverpool, however I have heard it once when we played at Wembley and it went, "to see the mighty Liverpool play at Wembley..." :)


On that note, when was the last time Liverpool played at Wembley... must have been 15 years ago! jeepers!

Yes but at least the 3 clubs who don't get promotion from the play-offs can threaten to sue QPR and hope to settle out of court for ?20-30 mill (maybe they should ask McCabe for advice).


Though after today's fiasco i would almost swap chairmen with the blades - did McC. ever not travel to a crucial away game 'cause he thought his team would lose anyway?


Rumour has it the players that are left at Upton Pk. will be undergoing extensive training as Karen Brady has bought a job lot of banjos and hired a field of cows for the summer.

T. Brown - right...you never know when you're well off. When I think of the campaign to get the Icelandic biscuit boy to buy the club instead of Kia Joorabchian's mates... well i guess we got what we deserved in delboy sullivan and rodney gold. They have been so busy calculating the money they'd make from taking over the olympic stadium they forgot to run the bloody club. I mean... Jacobsen?!??

Ok - Simon, you've riled me.


Then you are far too delicate a flower. My previous comment critised the FA, not QPR or WHU. The scheduling of the enquiries against both teams went on for far too long - almost a whole season in both instances, which lead to uncertainty for more than just the 2 clubs directly affected. What sort of idiocy and incompetence leads to the situation QPR had to suffer in the final week of the season? What sort of gross stupidity thinks up points deductions anyway as a form of punishment? It's the fans who suffer, not the owners and suits at the clubs. If you do have it though, at least apply it fairly. Compare and contrast Leeds, Rotherham, Middlesbrough, Luton and I forget who else with QPR and WHU and then try argue the whole thing is not a total shambles.


And you're quite wrong about the specific case of WHU & Sheffield United. But we will never agree on that anyway. ?25 milllion was inadequate compensation for losing Premier status. Colin of course gets a lot of people's backs up for all sorts of reasons, many of them justified I am sure, but I see no hypocrisy in any of his comments on the latest affair. The QPR & WHU cases were so completely different. I wish we had kept him after that relegation as there is no doubt he is a manager of high quality at certain levels.


And yes Sheffield United were complete and utter crap last season!

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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.
