On current form I'd say we are below average. I was so bored watching last night's match that I actually turned away from the TV to do something else. I've never done that before. Ever.


I think I lost it around about the time we'd gone one-nil down and we needed a goal so what does our manager do? He takes off our only striker who made the trip to Turkey.

Can anyone explain how lucky Man U have been recently? Five wins in a row normally doesn't come easily in the PL. Has the overall standard dropped this season? There are only two half decent teams this season, the top two. I'm baffled that United are third as they are just not a team yet.

With European teams speaking out against a move to winter for the WC maybe they and theirs could speak out a little more on this too.

It's much older than that RD. It's always good fun to remember peoples comments and make them accountable. Especially ones that I didn't expect. And Im pretty sure you said Celtic were doing well despite Lennon rather than because of him.


My brother in law said Lennon was a wonker. I'm seeing him at Christmas, I'll have a word with him too.


I'm making friends everywhere this festive season.

You're probably right Mick. I remember at the time that I thought what NL was achieving at Celtic would've been matched or bettered by A.N. Other manager. Good luck to him, I think he needed a change and challenge...

Yeah, that's called sport. Fans of the team in 4th place have every right to expect their best side to run out against the team in 1st. It's called competition innit.

The excitement in Scotlands second league continues. Hibs are on a roll and chasing Rangers for the second promotion spot after their 4-0 win over the Gers today. But Hearts have the winning birth sown up. Hibs probably favourites to come second.


SCSB - happy new year. Ally ran away before the old firm game.

It's also called squad rotation. With 4 games in 10/11 days and then a difficult away FA Cup tie to follow, as a fan I would expect players to be rested, with priority given to the more winnable games...

      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.
