Quite AqM - just annoyed I predicted a West Ham win but at 2-1, thought they might manage a goal! How silly!


There's a new Ox in town.


Oh... and this...

HAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA.....!

Yup. But looking like we are trying to win an away game against a top team is a refreshing change. Selecting a 16 year old against the Arse in your first premiership game as a manager...BFS's style?. Billie even had the grace to say BFS left him a decent squad, something that old self serving W*nker would never have done, spread the credit.


You haven't had a that doghs1t tosser acting like he's too big for your club for 4 years.


Good Fooking riddance. Of course it will go pear shaped at some point (I wasn't impressed mid-week) but not today COYI

Spoken like a true veteran of the West Ham asylum.

Know what you mean RC but I'd rather him than Nolan - the youngsters could learn a thing or two from him now he's not such a loony.


Thought I'd mentioned him before - searched his name and found this post from 2011-

"...Perhaps he could persuade Joey Barton (no, wait, just think about it for a minute) to come and add the 'spirit'? When Parker goes we'll need a strong captain and Barton is mature enough for that now. They should go after him - he's not getting in the England team anyway (history) so what does he have to lose? Who else is after him?"


I know that was four years ago but he may still have something to offer.

I told our resident WH fan that Barton was on his way

and he seemed to think some kind of trouble causer was

coming to destroy their great start to the season :)

    • 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.
