Which ever team you follow, he was a great player. Such shame about his previous drink problem.

Was just poor bad luck, we were miles the better team. A bit frustrating that without two injury time goals in our games against Utd and Spuds(actually 3 if you include your winner at UP) we'd be 4 (5) points better off and in the hunt still...

I wouldn't say you were miles better. I thought a draw was a fair result. Take heart though, you played very well and are a much better side without Carroll and Nolan in the starting Xl. Reid, Cresswell and Noble were all excellent today though Noble was a bit lucky not to have got sent off for a second bookable offence.


One thing is puzzling me though... Lamela is just not doing it for me. He needs to improve 100-per-cent. Out of all our substitutions today he more than anyone needed to go off. Though I must say Demb?l? was also rubbish today and was rightly substituted at half-time.

It's not that long ago that Carroll was selected for England. And I know that doesn't mean BFS uses him in the way England intended to.


I think it's ok to play Carroll in Plan B football but I'd not want him in my starting team each week. Footballers are generally dumb (slight joke) and if they see a big target man they will use him even if it's not the manager or BFS instructions.


John Toshack was used primarily to knock the ball down to Keegan. Many plaudits and a trophy or two followed.


We are getting rather snobbish about how our football is played.


of course , a few clubs like West Ham and Celtic can say they always saw it thus. :) There are a few more to add to those two of course. Spurs pass and move probably.

He probably didn't want to go on tour with him either to be fair.

      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" ?

      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.
