They weren't a problem for Arsenal a couple of years ago either.

Yup but they don't have Benitez as their manager anymore ;-)


*crosses fingers and prays Anna doesn't read the forum anymore*

Yes - its set up very nicely for the Christmas period and the run in to the tile next year. But a long way to go for City. Will they get nervous if United are on their heels? I bet they will.


There is a lot of pressure on a team that has not won the title for along time. I'm thinking of Keegan's Newcastle who looked nailed on and failed to win. Also George Graham's Arsenal who looked nailed on in 1988/89 and also got the title jitters but snatched it in the last game. It will be an interesting few months for City.

It's a proud day to be associated with the Arsenal. The petro dollar gazillionaires may well end up as champions but we gave them a run for their money with a makeshift side. The rest of the season holds no fears for me now. I just hope Le Boss sees fit to drop Theo and put in the Ox. Zaabaleta would have crapped himself if he had been him running at him rather than Theo.

    • 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.
