Last year I think I predicted Arsenal which shows what I know. So here goes.


Man U

Arsenal

Man C

Spurs


Relegation


Huddersfield

Watford

Brighton


Promoted


Preston

Fulham

Villa


ETA I was going to select for relegation, Spurs, Liverpool and West Ham but that was only because no one would disagree with me......

Other way round I think AM. They lost 5-0 in the first leg away from home (Artmedia Brataslava I think), and then failed to claw that back in the home leg.


It was Strachan's first month or so in charge, so as Rogers' second season there is "no" chance of that happening now. We are a well oiled machine.


Interestingly, Strachan's second season he got through the groups and into the last 16, losing to AC Milan by a single goal, Milan then lost to Liverpool in "that" final.

The Gospel according to David Moyes, aka ''It had nothing to do with me Guv''...


I think Harry Redknapp got it right when he said Antonio Conte couldn?t have kept up Sunderland last season.

Look at Manchester United. It?s taken them a few hundred million to get them in a good order.

At Real Sociedad, we kept them up, we did the job we had to do there.

The only one that looks a little bit out of sync is Sunderland. And it was probably the hardest to take. I think my record of losing two games in a row was minimal.

Still getting used to the pace of the Premier League - but IMHO he will.


Mind - nobody was doing anything except defend against Spurs.

    • 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.
