Stop Press I forgot to add the Coupon Buster for the mid-week games, so to make up there will be two this week.

Handy, as there are two teams with the same outside odds...the Villa to win at Everton and Stoke to win at Arsenal.

You and me both - to the point where I'm not sure I wouldn't rather see the team take a proper nosedive if it hurried things along. I'd rather see a rebuild with passion and imagination than hang on by the fingernails season after season.

I dunno, just yo-yoing year after fooking year, i've turned very pragmatic about this, even a bit money orientated, next year the new deal kicks in, if BF Sam keeps us up. etc....


However, all things considered, 80/81 2nd Division champions is probably my favourite ever year


Going tomorrow, 2nd time this season WHOOP

What your forgetting El Pibe is that you will never reach the magical 75%, so unless maxxi stops playing it may well be your wooden spoon!

Bribes are, of course, anathema to me but I shall be parked up at Watford Gap Services on Sunday having a Ginsters and should I see a brown envelope in the rear view mirror......

Shocking news about the weather in North London and the home counties. Apparently the snow was so bad many Arse fans could'nt make it to the Emirates today as seen by the many empty seats on MoTD. It seems that they have a dreadful micro climate there as this seems to be a regular event. Good on the club to credit the empty seats as full.


Pathetic.

What's pathetic? The lack of fans showing up or Arsenal crediting fans not showing up in the attendance? If its the latter, most clubs found season tickets in attendance even if they didn't show up.

Now there's a question - which footballer had the greatest comb-over?


Charlton? Ralph Coates? Terry Mancini? WH candidate Pop Robson?


And the winner surely is...... Chelsea's John Dempsey for really working it.

    • 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.
