Ozil will flourish with Sanchez in the side, Wilshire equally will benefit from having such a quality player in the side.

Let's just hope he doesn't misuse them like he did Cole - he's the kind of man who uses an expensive cordless drill to bang in nails.

So Valencia signed - looking forward to him and Z?rate doing something different up front to waiting for crosses/long balls.


Didn't think I would be looking forward to the new season with BFS still IC but willing to believe a buffoon can - if not change his spots - at least stay sat on his arse and be content to take home his massively inflated wage packet and not interfere with the team but rather let his players do what they do best.

Lampard left it open, but I very much hope he won't be selected again.


To be fair to Gerrard I don't think there was really anyone else for the job at this WC, but glad he's decided to bow out, push an extra couple of seasons of PL football out of his legs, and let someone else do it for England.


Only problem is that someone else is likely to be Rooney.

Ben davies medical done and passed, in talks for Vorm as a no.2 keeper.


Schneiderlin issuing a come and get me plea, possibly alongside Rodriguez.


Hopeful punt on Griezmann although much more likely to go to a champions league side.


Wouldn't mind Micah Richards on loan.

agreed- hoever he was sitting as number two at swansea after they brought flappy-handski in. Strange move for me as Vorm is decent. Will happily take him as back up if he's happy to be. Good keeper for the Europa League and league cup i suppose!

I make you right Quids. Rooney will suffer bruised ego syndrome as he will have to play second fiddle to Van Pussy, who will be teacher's pet. His agent will soon be on the blower to the press and Man Utd hierarchy saying his client isn't happy.


Vorm is an excellent keeper and should keep Lloris on his toes for a first team spot. Happy about the Davies deal, we've been in need of a decent left-back for some time now. Hopefully, he'll continue to improve along with last season's buys (flops) who should improve after their year's experience in the Premiership. I think Soldado will come good this year and hopefully Lamela too.


Having said that I think Spurs will again finish outside the top four. 5th for me but hopefully a bit of silverware.

Radio 5 says Brian Robson and many others suggest Rooney should be captain, "because he's England's best player and he has the experience". Tosh.


England need to choose a natural leader and look around for types like Butcher, Adams, Robson, Terry.


And as we see in other sports, eg the choice of Will Carling for England rugby, these leaders are obvious from a young age. Don't choose someone just because they have been there when England have failed many times before.

      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.
