I'll let you know if we need a new doorman EP.


Some interesting names popping up as a potential new Spurs manager...Klinsmann would be very popular, but World Cup in the way. Keeping it Teutonic, how about Herr Klopp, Spurs Heavy Metal against the Arsenal Orchestra. Or back to the future, In Hod we Trust?...

At this point of the season back in 2010, under a clueless jowly faced manager, WH had 13 points and the season had consisted of losses, a lot of draws and 2 wins - the one high point being a win over Spurs.


The board stayed with Grant til the end of the season - and relegation.


ring a bell?

this in the Indy -


"When a club of West Ham?s limited horizons effectively sacrifice the chance of a League Cup semi-final place to prepare for a League visit to Old Trafford, the extent of the challenge becomes clear.


Allardyce confirmed his intention to select fringe players for Wednesday?s quarter-final tie against Tottenham at White Hart Lane. ?We have to prepare to do what others have done, get points at Manchester United,? he said. ?As much as I don?t like to admit it, that?s the more important game.?




joyless, clueless, hopeless,

There's still the irrational but permanent optimism endemic in following the Irons - the glimmer that a team of kids, the ignored and frustrated, the unfit and the workaday players might play out of their skins against Spurs :)

"Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says striker Sergio Aguero could face a month on the sidelines after going off injured in Saturday's win over Arsenal.


"Sergio has a calf injury. The doctor can say how many weeks he will be out. I don't know at the moment. I think he will be out for at least one month," said Pellegrini ahead of City's Capital One cup quarter-final visit to Leicester on Tuesday."



That's come at a bad time for City. (hopefully a good time for Liverpool!)

    • 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
