It was Spurs 37th game of the season. Quite a few more than everyone else. And we have another two games before the month is out. We made nine changes for the game on Saturday. At least three too many in my opinion.


With ten minutes to go and Spurs being one-nil up. I still felt we needed to kill the game as I had a feeling Leicester could still win it and they did. Good luck to them.

I'm surprised to hear you say that Jah, Spurs have won more points in the last 10mins of games in the PL than any other team...

Yes, but that's been when we've either been losing or drawing. Not with a one-nil lead. It's a common Spurs problem that we've had in the past - snatching a loss from victory in the dying minutes.

I'm certainly looking forward to Extra Time as We want to win at Anfield, but BFS needs to change his mentality back to our pre-December attacking/pressing style. Bristol C on Sunday and the first half of the game against Hull were back to his grinding, defensive style which a decent side will unpick (As Arsenal and Chelsea did at Christmas) whereas the early season (no Nolan, No Carrol) had us tear both Liverpool and City apart.

    • 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."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
