Lot more history than that I think.


Swans board doesn't sack usually - not in 10 years -

but issues with the agent, the fact everyone seems to think

ML was leaving in the summer and as the board said, the gradual

erosion of Swansea's principles.


Chico didn't do any play acting against Cardiff - so maybe a

Garry Monk had a quiet word.


Stoke - Swansea next up - not one I would have gone for the Swans

in - but will be interesting if they can get a point.

I just about managed to stay awake for the pool (thank God they were on first) before passing out on the sofa.


Yeah, very pleased to see them win that in that style. That's exactly the sort of match they'd have lost in previous years (or last week even).


I was also pleased to see Gerrard afterwards acknowledge that they'd dropped 2 points and missed an opportunity last week, and that they couldn't afford mistakes what with Spurs breathing down their necks (very good result for them last night too!).

Jose Mourinho would love to see Celtic playing in the Premiership.


The Chelsea boss has won titles in England, Italy, Portugal and Spain but knows that few clubs have the magic of Celtic.


With the second biggest ground in Britain Celtic are ideally placed to add to the 'Premiership brand' a unique combination of history, passion and drama.


Stars such as Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Clarence Seedorf have gone on record with their admiration of all things Celtic with the Chelsea boss in no doubt that the hoops would bring a new dimension to the Premiership.


"Ive thought a few times over the years about Celtic moving down to England," he told The Sun.


"When I have been in England I have asked my colleagues why Celtic are not playing in the Premier League. They are a big club, with a big support and a famous history.


"They had a strong run last season in the Champions League, but they will always be limited because competition does not seem to be there for them up in Scotland.


"It wouldn't be easy to make it happen, the problem would be an agreement with teams who would not want to drop out of the leagues down here.

I like to think fans are different and everyone is an individual.

Chelsea had a national front element from what I hear and had a combat 18 element which is placing them in an awkward right wing position.


No class with that element for sure but im sure they have decent fans too.

The day Celtic are admitted to the premier league is the day Scottish football dies (cries of 'what Scottish football?') - I don't care about celtic/rangers and their infantile squabbles but the depth of football north of the border which would surely suffer irreparably.


But if they do maybe we could invite a few other footballing third world nations to send in their best too - Iceland's top team maybe and Ireland and - where exactly is San Marino and Liechtenstein?

I am surprised a team for whom a significant majority of their fans claim the English as imperialit oppressors constantly, want to be in our league and I am not sure a team who large sections of their support glorify terrorism would be that welcome in England either. Too much putrid old school stuff in the tedious and romanticised 'old firm' crap, leave it in Glasgow and Ulster as far as I am concerned....



Why don,t Celtic join the Irish league that,s where they belong...

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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.
