Anyone's for sale for the right price. The difference in this instance is that Ronaldo wants to leave. He also doesn't want to play for Chelsea or Arsenal or Liverpool. Fergie would never allow him to go to a rival premiership club.


Don't you remember the debacle when we tried to sign Heinze last year?


If Torres were to leave Liverpool I don't think he'd go to another premiership club. He has also stressed on numerous occasions how he wouldn't want to leave, something which Ronaldo (who thinks he looks great playing in white) has never done.

Hmmm - perhaps he should play for Leeds or switch to cricket.



I have major residual affection for the guy but I believe this to be true. I don't hear much in the way of replacement for him however. We'll miss them when they are gone etc


Radio-wise, I think commentating is in decent nick. But TV... Martin Tyler and Andy Gray remain the best of the bunch. Even if Gray is losing it

Just about, and feeling a bit tender.


Analysis, football won, the unambitious champions deservedly dumped out. A lacklustre France likewise. Italy didn't manage to bully their way through.

The rest of the tournament was an absolute triumph, best competition since Euro 2000, some great games, real drama and excitement and an emphasis on good football.


Spain have finally broken their curse. It was so funny into the 93rd minute, I and my fellow fans in the crowd, still didn't dare believe Spain could do it, a look of nervous terror etched into everyone's face. It's only just beginning to sink in now.


Looking forward to the world cup now and lets hope Capello can instill a similar quality into the England side!!


Oh, and well done Torres, he delivered when it finally counted .. and how!!!!!

Cracking goal, and well deserved victory!


I am well chuffed, as I walked in to the office today, and my colleague presented me with ?45 for our predictions game. I'd given up on it, because all my first round score predictions were bad, but the fact I had spain to win, spain to score most goals, and germany as runners up won it for me! Hurrah!!!! :)-D


Particularly useful as I lost my wallet at the weekend with all my cards in 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
