Dreadful challenge. Bloody shocking. I'm surprised he didn't snap his leg in two. One of the worse I've seen.


By the way, where've you been?

Just having to deal with lots of work related and personal nonsense. Hope you're well mate

So Michael Owen has finally decided to officially retire. Don't think he had much choice, as his body just won't let him carry on. A shame as I'd always hoped against hope that he'd rediscover his fitness and form and have another couple of great seasons in him. I didn't even hate him for going to Man U!


He's not short of cash, and has plenty going for him, but I do feel sympathy for a career that could have been so much more for him and for England. Had he been fit over the years I believe he's have smashed England goal scoring records!


Don't know what Roy Evans and his staff were doing in training back in the mid 90s, but Robbie Fowler, Jamie Redknapp and Michael Owen were all veruy good players who basically got trashed by injuries.


Speaking of which, Jamie Redknapp talks about England / iNJURIES

"Don't know what Roy Evans and his staff were doing in training back in the mid 90s, but Robbie Fowler, Jamie Redknapp and Michael Owen were all veruy good players who basically got trashed by injuries. "


isn't it more likely what they were doing AWAY from the training ground that caused them to fade so young? Did the foreign players in the team have the same problems

I was joking about the training ground, but now you mention it, Owen was never the party animal type, he just done a hamstring too young, and had problems from then on. RE foreign players at that time, we did have a few who spent quite a lot of time injured.

    • 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.
