Genuinely getting excited about this now, normally a better standard tournament than the WC without dragging on for so long. Will keep an eye on Poland Greece but my first match to sit and watch will be Russia Vs the Czech Republic - a russian win methinks. Both of Saturday's games look good too - Dutch Vs Denmark and Germans v Portugal. Dutch win and Draw.

What Quids said, anticipating a great tournament, straight into quality matches.

Pre-tournament tips for Group 1st & 2nd places...


Group A: Poland & Russia

Group B: Germany & Holland

Group C: Spain & Italy

Group D: France & Ukraine


Poland are my dark horses, host nation with a quality striker, worth a punt to make it to the semis...time catches up with Spain, Germany to win in style...

I haven't been a fan of the Euro's over the years, and this year is no exception, but what the fcuk is going on with the FA, and Hodgson, and what are the footballing reasons he refers to for Ferdinands exclusion. Wouldn't be better for all concerned if he just came out and said what these "reasons" are?

A football lesson is a common term used in football when a team gets well beaten.


It seems there is no end to you talking nonsense as demonstrated in the Pirate Bay thread. You've no idea about football but yet you felt the need to give your own version of what footballing lesson means. This is *Bob* like behaviour. ;-)

    • 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.
