Tch! I was unaware of any rules. Consider my wrist slapped.

We've all become a bit blas? about manager's and player's comings and goings, but this gave me a real WTF moment from the BBC's european round-up feature...


There are reports that Paris St-Germain boss Unai Emery could face the sack after six months and be replaced by former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal.


WTF!...:)

Bobs not going anywhere ;)

There doesn't appear to be a standout candidate. IMO Giggs would be a massive risk, he's never played in a relegation dog fight yet alone been a manager in one. I would go for Gary Rowett, recently sacked by Brum for no other reason than they wanted a high profile name like Zola, even though he's been a poor manager up to now. Rowett fits the previous Swansea model of a young progressive manager, trying to play attractive football. If they go down, which I think they will, he will also have the experience of managing in the Championship...

Quite a few of the fans agree. Staying up now would be a bonus

(Hartson said 9 wins out of 20)

Officially better than Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard. Sort of.


After 50 top flight matches:

? Dele Alli: 16 goals, 10 assists

? Paul Scholes: 16 goals, 3 assists

? Steven Gerrard: 2 goals, 3 assists

? Frank Lampard: 5 goals, 2 assists



And he does this for laughs.

    • 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
