I suppose because of experience you have to make United favourites now, but not over yet.


Arsenal only 1 point behind Spurs now. I'm no gooner, but when you consider the mess they were in early in the season, you have to admire that. Chelsea not out of the running by any means either.


Perhaps Harry is planning an end of season collapse, so it'll be easier to walk away from Spurs...

It would be an interesting tustle amongst the top five teams. Man City seems to have a problem with their away record. Spurs have dominated matches but can't convert chances made. With Chelsea and Arsenal both capable enough to pull a string of results to qualify for Champions League. City has a better goal difference that Utd, so a run of nine wins and a draw may be enough for them. There are still enough twists for the Premiership race.

Nothing is done and dusted yet, and there are still 10 games to go. I see Dalglish has asked the authorities to long at Wengers cllims that Suarez is a diver and a cheat. Just saying what we all think then. Is this to deflect the fact that despite all of the millions spent and being welcomed home like some long lost son, his performance is not musch better than Woys and he's beginning to feel the heat? He's buckled under the pressure before, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. Just suppose Liverpool lose tonight and Everton go above them, which on previous history is unlikely, would he be under more pressure having spent shed loads and Moyes spent zip?

Suarez isn't in the Ronaldo / Drogba / Klinnsman diving league yet, but he's getting there so I think it's a fair comment from Wenger.


He might have gone ape if someone had said that about one of his players, but that's because there isn't really anyone in the current Arsenal side that makes you think "diver" when you hear their name.

Fair enough, but he has been there a long time, and there have been a few in those years.


I hate seeing dives, and admit that Suarez has taken a couple, and would rather he didn't. I just can't stand the holier than thou attitude of some people, who think that a player in their team's shirt would never do a thing like that.


Anyway, why exactly are we talking about this AGAIN?

Parkdrive/Atila whatever you call yourself these days. Kenny left after Hillsborough having attended many of the funerals and supporting the club and it's fans. Do you seriously consider him to be a bottler for leaving after the stress involved with that tragedy?

I think at his age and given his track record, which is all we have to go by, it's a possibility, that's all I'm saying. But Liverpool fans seem to able to overlook his performance in a way that were never able to overlook Woy's. Unfair treatment if you ask me. Stevie G did the business to cover up the embrrassment of Carrol being, yet again, unable to find his arse with both hands.

Possibly. But its a Cup game, last chance motel situation. Don't think can make that judgement call. Besides, stuff changes with new managers in any workplace, good, bad, indifferent.

I dunno SJ, do we believe that players have so little pride now, that they'd sit back and let results run against them, in order to get a manager sacked? I'm no Chelsea fan, but you'd think they'd have the will to win of any pro sports person.


I also think that a new manager can produce good results, look at Sunderland!

      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.
