Going to some shabby outfit called AS Monaco, I bet he was gutted.

Just read about and seen the photo of BFS cupping his ear to the fans.

He's toast. Now don't go and ruin it all by appointing Malky Mackay...

Misguided. Supporters should support the team during the game and if they want to show any disapproval, do it after the final whistle. Even then, they should at least wait until we're out of the CL and the season is over...

It can't end well for anyone involved.


It's spectacularly embarrassing.

Greater Manchester Police have just announced that a 'no-fly zone' has been put in place over Old Trafford. Chief Spokesman Robin Banks advised that the police have still not accounted for the whereabouts of a football last seen leaving the stadium during a match versus Sunderland in the Capital One Cup, and therefore can not guarantee the safety of any low flying aircraft.

Think it's 45 titles to us and 0 to the newly formed club next door.

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