Not sure about that Otta but at nearly 38 his best days are far behind him. Could have been a good short term deal to help pass on his experience to the younger players but other than that maybe he's just looking for a last good payday before retirement. Class player though when he was in his prime.

Yet another Bendtner type who believed his own hype and didn't deliver. Doubtless feeling "sad", just like that other spoilt brat Ronaldo.

Nope...they play in red, they're in the bottom three with 1 point from a possible 9, have lost 5 of their last 8 league games and have won only 1 of their last 7 league games at home.


Fair comment.

Fine yes, but there was a 20 minute period after the first goal when England gave the ball away easily (including long punts upfield by the Hart which I thought were meant to be things of the past).


They also looked too scared to close down their opposite numbers giving them the kind of free reign, for a while, that - were they a better team - well, enough said.

    • 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.
