I'd take it as a compliment Jah, Gooners now see finishing 4th and/or above Spurs as some sort of success...

You're always good comedy value RD, a bit like the odious RVP singing "glory, glory Man United", it must come from the little boy inside him, which doesn't know any better.

time to boycott Emirates. Arsenal are rip off merchants http://mancunianmatters.co.uk/content/18127455-arsenal-insist-boosting-ticket-prices-nationwide-problem-sell-out-home-games-manche


Why should we subsidise them? (Us as in Manchester United and City)

Is anyone forcing you to go then? Stay away and watch from home, thats what most United fans do.

Paying more for a premium product, hardly a new concept. Welcome to the double edged swprd of ambition.


Disgusting otta, but hardly shocking given the state of the game in many of the former communist states. La Piba and I were going to watch a domestic game there once, but decided to skip it as the snows came and temperature dropped to mi us the.


We watched it in a pub where the locals were really cool rather than scary skin headed ultras so probably good mo e all round.

Ambition? You're talking about a club that has consistently sold it's best players...

It is taking the piss but you can't have it both ways - if City were the crappy lot of a few years ago the price would be a bargain with kids-for-a-quid etc. as it is I suspect there are a lot of 'new' city fans with wallets fat enough to pay up even if it drives other supporters away (as Chelsea fans found out some years ago).

    • 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.
