To be fair, there aren't many teams who haven't had one of their own players do something similar. However, I seem to recall a season or two ago, Wenger calling for players to be retrospectively banned for 3 games, if found to have clearly simulated diving/cheating...over to you Arsene.


A cracking match at the Council House yesterday...come in BR, wherever you are :))

I watched the Manc derby and was pleased that two mercenaries were involved in giving the third goal away, Clichy careless, and Na$ri cowardly. Just a shame the biggest traitor got the deflected goal to settle it. Is there any truth in the rumour that he stooped to collect the coins that had been thrown on the pitch?


Joking aside I actually thought the blue half were just slightly better in the game. Balotelli should never turn out for City if Mancini has anything about him.

Haha, touche.


Seriously, I thought Tevez was great when he came on. Should have started.


In other news, great win for Liverpool yesterday, in a game that many (myself included) thought they'd struggle in, and that is out of respect to the way West Ham have been playing. Good to see 3 goals scored without Saurez on the pitch, and well needed.

I'm still trying to get my head around the latest snatching defeat from the jaws of victory performance by Spurs at the weekend. One-nil up, 90mins on the clock and we concede two goals in injury time. Bloody typical! I suppose I should be used to it by now but it still fecking pisses me off big time.

    • 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.
