Spurs fans love a good moan but it was bloody frustrating to watch when you've been brought up watching the silky skills of Hoddle and Gazza. The ball constantly being passed sideways and back. We need more creativity in midfield to unlock defences that come to White Hart Lane and park the bus. We have to find a solution to that. He has a point though the atmosphere was a bit shit yesterday but that's the fans being frustrated by what they are watching. I know I was. 70 minutes into a home game against a team you really should be giving a good hiding to. Remember, that the last home game was the three-nil loss to West Ham, some of us were feeling a bit deja-vu by then. I think they call that winning ugly. Certainly, not the most enjoyable game I've been to in a very long time at the Lane (thankfully, I missed the West Ham debacle).

Joe Hart dropped by City apparently. City obviously feel they can't afford any more mistakes.

Are You a Football Hipster?...http://www.theguardian.com/football/quiz/2013/oct/29/are-you-a-football-hipster



You scored 29 out of a possible 60


Nope. YOU'RE NO FOOTBALL HIPSTER! You like goals, goals, goals, pronounce Milan as Milan rather than Mee-lan, and quite frankly you're not really sure you'd recognise a false nine if one came up and shook you by the hand. You've got some work to do. Start of with a video of the 1991 European Cup final between Red Star Belgrade and Marseille and work from there.

Agreed. Sadly this is what the Nick Hornby generation has spawned. It is probably going to get worse before it gets better.

I think that was a league game Quids and it was three-nil with Lineker getting a hat-trick in '92. What you might be thinking of is a five-nil thrashing at the Lane in the League Cup with Clive Allen scoring a hat-trick in '87. I was at both games. Either of those results will do me thank you. ;-)

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
