Mohamed Diame (just signed on a free from Wigan for the hammers) reveals the real reason Kenny was sacked. On his discussions with Liverpool prior to the sacking he had this to say:

"I met with the then manager and we talked about next season but God decided to finish this situation"

About time WH benefited from a free agent instead of waving so many goodbye. Will go missing for the African Nations Cup of course but so many players from other teams are too.


Not sure footballing reasons are behind the move tho-


'The truth about life in Wigan is there is nothing to do', Diame told a French football magazine. 'It is a cr*ppy place. The town is tiny and there is no atmosphere. I go into training, I return home, and that is all I do.'


Diame also hit out at the town's female population: 'It is rare to see truly beautiful girls when you go out during the day,' he added.



Okay - now, any chance of a striker Sam?

Yeah I read that too.

HEre's the whole quote. Hard to argue with it though I can understand why Dave Whelan is miffed too.


"The truth about life in Wigan is that there is nothing to do," he said. "It is a crappy place. The town is tiny, and there is no atmosphere. I go in to training, I return home afterwards, and that is all I do. There is absolutely no comparison between Wigan and Madrid. I was happy there ? it is a capital city, and I guess it is the same as any capital. After training I was able to go for a peaceful stroll. It was never really cold over there. But as for here ? don?t get me started! When it snowed I felt like the temperature was minus 15, and feared I was going to turn into an ice cube. It is rare to see truly beautiful girls when you go out during the day. But it?s a different story when you go out in the evening. The girls seem to cover themselves up all day, only to be in good-looking mode at night. In Madrid I had the impression that all the women were beautiful."

I thought that was quite funny jah!

We've the makings of a good first team with a couple more signings. Cracking midfield, and, well one good striker and one who's good on his day and a couple of good defenders.

Just like west game to have a squad of midfielders and little else.

Obviously desprately weak for goalies without green, well we've a green one and one due for retirement.

But strength in depth, noooooooo, across the season we'll struggle.

      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.
