sobering stuff, last night


Fairly disgusting attitudes from our players on display, no-one seemed up for it - all the brickbats that can be thrown should be. It was abject


and still, and still I don't get so upset these days. It's a bunch of millionaires running around a field in colourful shirts. It can be fun, it can be nice to watch but when you see what's happening to Portsmouth and Rangers, it's hard to get too upset about lsoing to AC Milan at the San Siro. Or even Sunderland next Saturday

Morning all,


It occured to me this morning that its a year ago today that I damaged my knee playing football. I havently played since and am desperately missing it (as sad as that may seem to some of you.


I was wondering if anyone played 5 or 6 a side or have a kick around locally that I could join in on. I am looking for a semi competitive gamwe to see if I can still kick a ball!


Suggestions would be very much appreciated.


Thanks very much


Sam

"Eight top English football clubs are being investigated after Rangers Football Club plunged into administration and lifted the lid on an alleged widespread tax dodge.

Fans of the Scottish Premier League giants were furious after it was revealed that the Glasgow club owes up to ?70million to the taxman.

Now the nightmare is spreading to the rest of the sport's elite, as current and former Premier League sides are being investigated over deals thought to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds."


Some names are being mentioned, but the main one it seems is Man U who, if anyone remembers, lent Pompey their legal team to defend the Image Rights issue when we last went into Administration. Something instrumental in getting the clubs tax liability lowered and seeing HMRC losing their right to contest the original CVA.

I think it allows bookies to show odds moving 5/4 to 6/4 to 7/4 in smaller increments with a consistent denominator.

We've been playing champions league football for years prior to this season, so one season out won't kill us, just ask Mancs, Liverpool, ohh and of course your mob. Lets see how you're doing after playing us, Everton, Chavski, and Man Ure in the coming weeks. Might be a case of what gap?

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
