Dead right Laddy. I was wondering what it reminded me of but it didn't come to mind. Nice to read that Rooney offered the pen to Giggs. I guess because up to this point Giggs has scored at least one goal in every Premiership season and hasn't got one this season yet.

I heard they put in a late bid for Samuel Eight Two.

As I've just said on FB, Generally pleased with

Liverpool summer transfers, until the last

day. Gutted Meireles has gone, and not too

sure about Bellamy's return (definitely

quality, but too much history of acting like a

twat).


All in all a better team now than at the end

if last season though.

Arsenal - reeked of panic buying, overall quality of squad has gone down a lot since end of last season.


Chelski - including last Jan transfer window they are the biggest spenders this year I believe...Meireles a good buy.


L'pool - agree with Otta's earlier post, good pre-season deals but Bellamy isn't a good swap for Meireles.


Citeh - good luck to Hargo, but I would be amazed if he came back to his best.


Utd - Sneijder would have been amazing, but ?35 million would've been way too much for a 28yo...watch out though for Utd's other midfield youngsters, Pogba and Morrison...if he can stay out of jail!


Spurs - Parker was the best buy yesterday value wise, felt sorry for Crouch, seemed he was pushed out to make way for Adebayor, I know which one of them I would want to rely on. Pleased that they managed to hold onto Modric, maybe he will stop sulking and get his hair cut!


West Ham - had no choice other than to let Parker go, should still be strong enough to go up.

    • 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
