I sort of feel like we were damned if we do and damned if we don't


don't pay Walcott enough and sell him? "The Exodus Continues"

pay him? "He's not really worth it"


to be slightly fair to Walcott, if I was him and saw Arshavin and co on 100ish a week I'd be pushing for equity too


We're offloading some expensive deadwood, we have the money so on balance I'm happier he is staying than not


But he is good enough? Jury is still out with the suspicion that he isn't - but we'll see

That is bloody shocking. Southampton have done well recently and hit a good run of form after a shaky start to the season. A great result at Chelsea in the week, only losing two games in their last twelve. And who the hell is Mauricio Pochettino? His record at Espanyol isn't that great. What the hell were the board thinking? What a way to treat the manager after all the good work he's done for them. I feel very sorry for Nigel Adkins and Southampton's fans. A very poor decision. If their form slumps now and they end up relegated then board have only got themselves to blame.

It was in Arsenal's interest to sign him up even if they eventually sell him, longer contract = bigger fee...don't forget he could've walked away for nothing in the summer. I think his alledged demand to play as a central striker would've put many potential suitors of. Wenger doesn't seem the type to bow to such demands, however Wenger's soundbites have been interesting lately...the perfomance against City was 'timid'...he was 'scared' that Walcott would leave...maybe not the one-eyed meglomaniac afterall...

Don't get me wrong, I think Walcott has lots of potential as a front man, and maybe the signing of the year for the gunners. I just dislike the way he's gone about his bussiness. He was interviewed after a match a couple of weeks back, and I just thought "you arrogant little turd". Shame, because I've always wanted to see him do well.

Walcott has definitely improved since coming inside recently, though there are times when he still does his headless chicken act rather well when he shows us that he's just a shit Aaron Lennon. His finishing has got better and he's scoring more. 100 grand a week is what you get these days for being half decent at a club like the Wanderers. If he can develop into the Henry type of role he craves up front then its money well spent and at 23 there is plenty of scope for improvement.

Bollocks! Sandro is out for the rest of the season. That's a fecking big blow to Spurs. He is an absolute beast of a player. He's been brilliant for us. Scott Parker can replace him but sometimes runs out of gas after 75 mins and at 32 isn't getting any younger.

If you have one of those remote control atmosphere generators can I borrow it for my visit to the Emirates for Wednesday's rearranged Boxing Day game? It'll be my very first visit to the Library - thinking of wearing my crepe sole brogues.

Stamford Bridge still has it on loan, but I can do you a good deal on a job lot of these...

      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.
