The whole Cesc thing is somewhat amusing. First of all He goes "home" and they decide they don't want him. Arsenal don't exercise the buy back option so he goes to Maureen. THis is the same Cesc who said not too many months back that Maureen lacked respect, class, etc and also made derogatory remarks about Maureens club. Lo and behold he does an Eto'o and signs for a club and manager he supposedly despises. I smell the odour of money from here. It must be awful being rejected by the 2 clubs he supposedly loves. Reminds me of the Rooney "once a blue always a blue" scenario. The Arsenal have lost bigger players than him in the past and survived. While we had him, RVP, Na$ri, C?lichy we didn't win a tropy, they are all gone and we win the FA cup. Coincidence?

I'm not blaming him, he's been spurned by the 2 clubs he allegedly loves most, so he's gone off with the fat bird at the end of the night cos he thinks he'll get a shag.

Suarez deal agreed according to beeb.


?75m is a huge amount of money, but it feels like we've had to let him go on the cheap even at that price. If it wasn't for the bite and ban I really believe he'd have at least matched the Bale price tag.


Ah well, onwards and upwards, we've got a load of untested southampton players to be going on with, what could possibly go wrong?

"I hope you can all understand why I have made this decision," Suarez said. "This club did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife's family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right."



I will say for him that I don't think this is particularly about money, he wants to play at the very top and Liverpool are not there (hopefully a "yet" can be added to that). And maybe just maybe having that family tie close by might just keep him in line.


Good luck Louis you bloody loon you. Your football ability will be missed.

Listening to a Uruguayan journalist this morning, he said the consensus in the country is that Suarez is more suited to Liverpool than he ever will be for Barcelona.

How they reach that conclusion I don?t know but I guess it will be hard to replicate the season he had anywhere.

Agree. Very good signing. Unlike Ozil, can see him easily adapting to the physical demands of the Premier League. Another attacking midfielder though, and with talk of signing Khedira/Bender, makes you wonder what will happen to the likes of Wilshire and OxC...

      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."
