Sherwood did get the best out of him for a while it must be said but Abebayor only plays well when it suits him. He still has another year of his massive contract to run. He knows he's not wanted but is quite prepared to let his contract run down. I so hope they can do a deal if and when Benteke goes. If Villa get the asking price they want, it will go a long way to pay for Adebaoyor's wages.

It's been going on for years - I remember Ray Stewart and Steve Potts getting the bird frequently and now they are considered 'Legends'; harry Redknapp used to get tons of grief when he played and even Billy Bonds got booed once - after he had criticised fans behaviour in Castilla, well, called them animals.

Didn't take long for the claret & blue rat that lives up your arse to start gnawing through your Chalfonts did it doc? Were you disappointed in love by a Hammerette? I think your close attention to all things Boleyn betrays a secret love that dare not speak its name.


For your info (and anyone else who gives a f^ck) the booing only started very near the end after a shed load of chances had gone begging (Amalfitano you numpty!) and the Maltese had had a few near things on the counter and then some WH players started to back-pass. It was a kiss on the cheek compared to the stuff BFS got and was a form of 'encouragement' (as we say from the comfortable seats of the West Stand).


Sakho definitely missed and we need some striker back-up pdq.

I don't think Sherwood had much choice Jah, both players had release clauses set before he arrived, besides I don't think many managers get involved in contract intricacies.

Liverpool certainly splashing the cash and Spurs in danger of getting left behind unless Levy does his usual last minute deals, which I don't think is good practice, best to get your players in early and bedded in before the big kick-off...less than 3 weeks to go!

I am quietly hopeful that LFC could have put a good team together, and much as he's a club legend I'm pleased we can now move on without needing to worry about upsetting Gerrard.


Whether Sterling does well at city or not, I'm happy he's gone. Just hope Benteke is a good fit, and can stay fit. And obviously hope Sturridge can get fit and put this period behind him...

Saw this on BBC


"Liverpool are set to be disappointed in their attempts to make Borussia Dortmund's Marco Reus, 26, their record ?46m signing, with Real Madrid set to beat them to the Germany international's signature. (Liverpool Echo)"




i DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE PLAYER.

      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."
