Charlie Adam, the guy that high on crippled Bale, should feel right at home with the Stoke rabble and their odious manager. Doubtless when he next clatters or injures someone Pullis will say "he's not that sort of player, just an honest pro" for honest player read average agricultural clod.

I've been surprised no team has snapped him up on some sort of pay as you play deal.


He's obviously a sicknote who will spend a lot of the season on the injury list, but equally, he is proven quality, and surely could do a job for an Everton or a Villa...

He's probably over pricing himself, even on a pay as you play basis. Man United got very little from him. He should drop down a division.


He's a player I genuinely feel sorry for. Goal against Argentina and a double in the cup final were probably career highlights in a career that promised so much more.

Unless I am reading it wrong, that says ?15m spent on players in 2011/12??


@MicMac - thanks, we can only beat what's in front of us. Unless it is Peterhead or Berwick Rangers.

Owen suffers from an extraordinarily large ego. The only reason he wants a Prem team is so he can warm the bench and rake in the cash, while denying a younger player a chance to develop and progress.

Don't you just love transfer deadline day? Plenty of business being done. Sad to see Rafa go back to Hamburg but as good as he was he did lack pace. My favourite memory of him was scoring against Le Arse and blowing kisses to their fans followed by nutmegging Jack Wiltshire not once but twice. Good to see Berbatov get a move to Fulham. If he gets plenty of time on the pitch he'll score goals. As for Michael Owen, I think he's just happy to warm his well paid arse on a bench these days. Sad because I'm sure if he's fit he could do a good job for someone.

In my case I got abuse for not asking first before taking the photo. As my wife proved with Michael Owen, if you do ask they say no. Best to take the photo and if they get antsy, just run away.


Michael Owen would not catch anyone these days.

That's 'market value' which doesn't make any sense at all. Net transfer amounted to about ?2M.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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.
