Possibly true but why is it that those words bring to mind gooners more than anyone else?

Peter Lawwell wants football fans to be treated like 21st century citizens with the right to drink alcohol.


Rugby fans are allowed a pint in Scotland while Hampden does a roaring trade selling booze at open air concerts.


English clubs are allowed to sell drink to their fans while Scottish supporters are treated as untrustworthy.

Bit surprised there will be no appeal against the Suarez ban. Apparently the club left it up to him, and he's decided to accept it. Suppose he just feels there's no point trying, and it could even lead to a bigger ban.


I still think 10 matches is ridiculous, but there you go.


That's Liverpool buggered for the start of next season.

I didn't say we were or are you just being obtuse. Whatever way you cut it, we went 49 games unbeaten, and got a gold premiershop trophy for going a season unbeaten, that my friend WAS a first. Anything else you want to throw at me?

You are aware that the waynester had all but signed on the dotted line for the blue vermin, but it took a certain Celtic and ManU supporting ageging blonde rocker and the rather agitated attention of a matriachal element to stop waynester from putting his X on the ?250K a week after tax deal ?

I don't want to throw anything at you. I just get fed up with the everyone who leaves Arsenal is a tosser type of thing that you write. Why Arsenal are so better than say Spurs. Basically getting angry at what any footballer does that you don't like. Who gives a sh*t. It happens. You can't change clubs like a player can. You're stuck with it apart from the few 'fans' who actually change clubs. My father GRHS supported Man City when I was a kid........just to annoy me!

From what I've read his past problems were not taken into account when deciding on the ban. What would he have got if they were?

Just from the record, I've never thought that Henry, Pires, Viera, Overmars, Fabregas were tossers. Anelka, Van Pussy, Cole, Nasri absolutely. It's the way they went about. Happy now?

Just a shame most boozed up football fans can't act like 21st century citizens.

Surely West Ham's star is currently in the ascendent. Newly promoted and comfortably safe with 4 games to go. A shiny brand new(ish)stadium got for a song, which along with next season's new TV deal, means increased revenue to invest in the squad. Ok, looks like your stuck with BFS, but you can't have everything...

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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.
