Man City defeat at Stamford Bridge means the race for the premiership is still wide open. I'd say teams like Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Utd all have a shout. Spurs are genuine title contenders and were very unlucky against Stoke. I shall watch the forthcoming transfer window with interest.

No it isn't. My son takes 20 tablets a day to keep it under control. Perhaps the fact that such a high profile sportsman has it, may raise public awareness of this horrible illness. I wish Fletcher well.

Hmm... you may be right. I'm sure they'll correct me if I'm wrong and it looks like I may be.


Still, I wouldn't wish that particular illness on anyone. Sounds horrible.


I see some of the tabs have gone in for some very lazy journalism today with Spurs apparently in for Tevez at ?20 million and Kaka on loan. Yeah, right. We can't afford their wages packets for starters. Citeh are still paying Adebayor ?100,000 a week for him to play for us! This kind of spurious transfer speculation always seems to fill up space on the sports pages this time of year. Utter crap.

I absolutely agree it is not nice at all a horrible debilitating disease.

Ha ha, here little fishy. So easy to catch. I forgot, you're not allowed banter towards Celtic as that's "racist and bigoted" isn't it MM???


In trouble again maybe:

    • 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.
