Not Commoli but the equally useless and overpaid Director of Football Franco Baldini went out and bought all those players that AVB didn't want and Poch didn't want. Levy likes a Director of Football. Harry Redknapp wouldn't work with one. We have gone seriously downhill since he left.


When a manager goes to Baldini and Levy and say he wants such and such a player they basically say "you can't have him but you can him instead," then the manager's hands are tied and he can't build a team of his own making.


As for Adebayor complaining about some of the fans response when they play at home, well he can fuck right off. Start playing well, score some goals and acting like you care and then we'll get behind the team more you mercenary fuckwit.

The chairman of football club Tottenham Hotspur is due to meet an American consortium, backed by private equity firm Carlyle, interested in purchasing the team. City AM writes that the club is expected to be valued between ?502m and ?628m, with money from any takeover used to fund a ?400m redevelopment of its grounds.

FIFA make me sick. If Quatar won the vote fair and square to host a Summer WC then it should not be allowed to be switched because of the climate. They should have though of that beforehand......yeah. This inquiry should have it's findings released in full and not just the Blatter version.

I'm the opposite. I've long since stopped caring about the moneyed, bloated premiership. But I don't blame you if you're English and have to deal with all the bs thats come since winning the WC way back sometime in the last century.

I'm sure the England fans will take great glee in reminding the home fans that they are still British, and I don't expect the Scots to join in when the England fans start goading the Scots with God Save the Queen and Rule Britannia...or do you think otherwise?

And I don't blame you if you're Scottish for not liking the English Premier League. Maybe if Mr Ashley has his way the SPL may benefit from a little bloating in the future. Until then there's always Gordon's Tartan Army eh?

No,not at all. I wasn't thinking of the English fans goading the Scots. I take your point.

Here's an example of what annoys me. I didn't see the match tonight, so went to check BBC Website and see the headline "Rooney scores as England fight back". But then I see he scored a penalty, and then Welbeck won it ith two goals.


It's not really Rooney's fault, but it's ALL about him.

      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.
