I don't think crowds will be hostile, they'll take the piss mercilessly but there will be no hostility towards him.


The super-injunction was a massive own goal for him. If he'd held off I reckon the press would have sat on the story the same way they did a number of stories about Gary Linekar. He'd just about worked his way into national treasure status then went and slapped a gagging order on the press, something they don't take kindly to.

Whoops.


In fairness to him it was probably on advice from a lawyer seeing pound signs a-flashing.

Don't be ridiculous. He is world class. He may have only scored four times last season but he did pick up a niggly injury halfway through the season and missed a a few games but other than that he was brilliant and at times the best player on the pitch in most of the matches I saw him play. I'll be absolutely gutted if he leaves Spurs.

I'm a Spurs fan too, and love him. But he's not world class....yet. A move to Man Utd may be what he needs to achieve that level to be honest. That title is bandied about willy nilly to too many good players. He needs to produce regularly on the international and Champions league stage to qualify for it.

Very few players are truly world class.

As a Spurs fan I'm bloody glad that didn't happen. Any stadia that has a running track around it will not be a great theatre or create a great atmosphere for football and unless West Ham gain immediate promotion back to the Premiership they'll be playing in a white elephant of an empty stadium.

Sadly I have to agree. Pictures of the stadium make it look as though watching a game there will be like watching Orient... from Upton Park.


Temporary seating etc. could make a difference but is it REALLY (Matty Etherington's return apart) going to look like this?

ETA: now Your Arsenal is closed can we expect an influx of chatty and disenfranchised Gooners on the EDF?

    • 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.
