Only 3 goals conceded this time Mick, although I heard it could've easily been double that. What do you think of BR's tactics in this type of game? Again I heard that he played Celtic's usual attack-minded formation, which works in the SPL but is unraveling in the CL. Would you rather he went more defence-minded?...

easily double that

If I were them I'd choose Allardyce over Moyes if that was the choice - but Sean Dyche is favourite - he will be fav for most mid ranking premiership clubs coming available so he may wait, or at least negotiate guaranteed transfer kitty from Everton to make it attractive

In case anyone is interested and doesn't know, England play Spain in the U17 WC Final today. It's on BBC2 @ 15.30 I think.


Some of the comments after this article would make you worry about this country, if you weren't already:

This made me smile. According to my AI friend Alexa, when I asked her for the Sports News, she said various things including upcoming football fixtures. Apparently tonight Liverpool are playing North Korea Maribor. I had to listen to it twice to make sure I wasn't hearing things.

    • 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
