I agree, especially when he freely admits he made a wrong prediction...

I never do predictions in football because there are so many variables. Yes I have expectations but they are not the same as predictions. I don't have a crystal ball. It's for the same reason why I don't go to betting shops.


@Otta, is there a law that I should answer stupid questions? You answered one of my questions with a question as you knew I hit it on the nail. Just how long will you keep up your personal vendetta?

You guys just don't get it do you?

UDT has a bit of South American* in him.

So just like when Suarez said that Negrito was a term of endearment, when UDT says he's right, he's actually saying he's wrong...comprende?


*at the weekend he has a lot of South American in him (allegedly), but that's another thread...

I was expecting Italy to field a 3-5-2 formation in an attempt to nullify Spain's six midfield players. I'm saddened that Prendelli did nothing to overcome Spain's numerical advantage in key positions. Also Chiellini got a start over Balzaretti. Balzaretti made a difference when he came on. Injuries played a key part in the game. Chiellini clearly wasn't fit. Nor was Thiago Motta.


No doubt Spain are worthy winners. They defended well. Just wish it was more of a contest.

It's the ultimate low self-esteem destination. I've booked myself, Pibe, Otta, Strafer, Red Devil, Hugenot, Jeremy, Jah and six thousand other users in - so we can all have low self-esteem together.

Thanks Bob. I could do with a holiday... certainly from this thread. Surely, this is the end? Let's all feck off and take a break. The Euros are over now. It's all gone a bit pear shaped and personal anyway. Also, I think Tillie may have made a rather good point.

    • 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
