It's still Chelsea's to lose, and they have the easier run-in too. If you beat them in the semi's that could really affect their confidence though. I've watched Spurs' last two home games on the box and they have been playing like champions. As we can't win the league the next best thing as a Utd fan as the table stands is for Spurs to win the league, so I will be hoping they can, as long it's not the Double though. I'd have to stop coming onto the EDF if that happened.


Watching how Rashford and Lingard linked up so well yesterday, reminded me of Kane and Alli, bodes well for England too.

Zlatan has been amazing this season considering his age, but the team has to play around him, to his strengths, and that has slowed us down and we've become too static once we get to the opposition's box. Hopefully Mourinho has now seen the future and how good Rashford can be, and he'll get more game time next season...

According to wiki, KMK left school (Alleyns) with only one o-level.

Very sad indeed. As an 'expat' Villa fan, I had the pleasure of meeting him on a couple of occasions. He was always a gentleman, which was reflected in the way he played ? always physical but always fair. One of the great Villa players of recent decades. RIP Ugo.

Can't really see Arsenal beating Chelsea in the final, if they get past Man City which I'm not convinced they will.


I think the other teams just want it more.

Well even my Arsenal supporting mates are a bit stunned by that. But if Wenger tells his players that the final will be his last match, you never know what they might pull out of the hat for him...


Either that or they lose, he stays, and the fans carry on being frustrated.

    • 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.
