I still can't work out which was the worst choice of manager for West Ham Roeder or Grant. I think Zola just avoids, so it's a binary choice (although a few would bung BFS in the mix no doubt!).


Actually it's Roeder, for the position and strength of squad we had then*...Grant was just a bizzare choice when we were nearly bust


*tears well up

It's all relative Meds, your score merited a mid-table finish...alphabetically

RD - 6 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 12 pts


LG - 1 Correct Result + 2 Correct Scores = 7 pts


EP - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

PD - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

maxxi is actually beating me in the EDF Fantasy League...no, I haven't worked that one out either ;-)

After lengthy negotiations*, calls to agents and putting 'arry on 'block', a roadmap for agreement has been brokered, and I can now confirm the format for the inaugural EDF Footy Predictor Champions League...


*a saucer of milk for next door's cats



All teams are cordially invited to enter and predict the scores for the home and away legs of the last 16 of the Champions League (matches played from Wed 13th Feb through to 13th March).

Predictions will be made weekly, 4 games per week, over 4 weeks.

The top 8 teams* will then qualify for the QF stage, where a randomly drawn knock-out system will begin, mirroring the Champions League all the way through to the May Final.


*If teams are level on points, e.g. 7th, 8th, 9th place, then the team(s) with the highest number of correct scores will go through.

If this is still equal, then I will toss a coin...

You will rue those ill-chosen words senor cuarenta por ciento!


@???? - I shouldn't worry about Saturday - BFS's excuses for the shitty away performances recently have been that 'home form' will see us through. Pah! If it don't and pretty bloody soon then I hope he waves bye-bye smartish.

Has anyone else noticed Joe Cole's lack of mobility? I think all those injuries have caught up with him. I'd love to see him get back to his best because he's a player I've always enjoyed watching but doesn't look half the player he was. He was non-existent in the "highlights" on MOTD last night.


Anyway, still no sign of Levy signing a striker before the deadline. Adebayor away on Africa Cup of Nations duty and looking like he doesn't care in a Spurs shirt now he's signed his contract and our only other recognised striker Defoe carrying a pelvic injury you'd think (hope) he'd pull his bloody finger out. We want the Brazilian Leandro Damiao but will probably end up with nothing... or bloody Peter Crouch again. Bah!

Need a big win this week

starting to look like West Ham and that is never good

I think you answered your own question, and quids is spot on

    • 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
