The second I heard this I knew Scudamore was seeking a scapegoat for any fall in interest in the Premier League, which he has negotiated up and up for such a long time.


But the fact is it's the best EPL for many years.

But what? Nice to see petro gazillions don't always guarantee success. I hope Liverpool win the league, just to reinforce the fact that you don't need a sugar daddy to win the league. City fast becoming at loathsome as CSKA Fulham and Yanited.

The Premier is nothing more than a brand and has been for years. I'm not surprised the allure is starting to wear off. Ours isn't the only product beamed around the globe.

Pos Team Played GD Points

1 Chelsea 32 38 69

2 Liverpool 31 45 68

3 Man City 30 52 67


Potential final points if they don't drop any


Chelsea - 87

Liverpool - 89

Man City - 91


In my book that still makes it City's to lose. Yes I know city have to go to Anfield, but that means Liverpool have to TAKE those points away from City.


And as yesterday showed, any of these teams could drop points elsewhere. Hell, Liverpool may well drop some this afternoon...

Yeah, but a win would be and they are at home.

I agree it's all ifs and buts and I don't really expect any of the teams to finish with a 100% record from now on in. My point really was that it's a long time since Liverpool have been in such a position with so few games left.


I've noticed the City game is the same week-end as the 25th anniversary of Hillsboro'. I don't think that's ideal for Liverpool with all the emotion that will be flying around that week. City were at OT for the 50th of Munich and won 2-1. If my memory is correct, the general opinion was that United played as if they were affected that day.

13 years today gone but not forgotten, David "Rocky" Rocastle. "Remember who you are, what you are, and who you represent" Saw David many times in the late 80's standing on the platform at Forest Hill station dressed in his Arsenal track suit carrying his boots in a boot bag. How times have changed. Always courteous to fans and well wishers, always cheerful. Wish there were more like him today. R.I.P. Rocky

      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.
