Well look at Palace. Pulis is a hero I expect for rescuing a team from certain relegation. He left Stoke because they were bored with PL mid tableness. This West Ham academy of football is now a myth. When did you last play up to your expectations? Frankly Man City play the football we like now and we know why. Money. They can buy great players and have a manager who can mould them into a team.


After that there are clubs who aren't quite there yet and who may never be. Liverpool and Everton are examples. Arsenal,Chelsea & United will improve. But WH's aims are to stay in the PL. If moving to the Olympic Stadium changes their profile then maybe they too can hope for top 4 status. However, only one team can win the league and finishing 4th shouldn't be any consolation. I blame UEFA for that.

West ham are a bigger team than palace and stoke in terms of resources, support and heritage ( academy or not), we should be aspiring to more than them. BFS can,t even attract decent players to us, his tactics are one dimensional he,s made a hash of transfers with a pretty good budget, he's been rude about our support....where do we start on what a failure he,s been for long term progress for west ham, especially this season. A lucky play off victory, thanks Sam now fuck off.


I still think we,ll be lucky to stay up this season.

Too big a gap imo. With City and Chelsea playing each other, Liverpool could also close the gap on one or both of them.

I still think Liverpool will have a big say in who does/doesn't win the League, as they have to play the top 3 at home, where their record is very good...

It isn't. It just the sort of crap you would write if you were me.

    • 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
