The proverbial game of two halves. Would have been interesting to see how the game would have gone had the goal stood.

There have been so many players linked to United it's hardly worth speculating what will happen, if anything. But as you asked, we won't get anyone and Fellani will become our centre forward.


And I beat Louis to it. At a rate of a goal every 10 minutes on the pitch, he should break all sorts of goalscoring records this season.


Good to read LVG will play Herrera tonight.

Manchester united were silly to pass up on Pedro they should have signed him while they had the chance they lost out on him just over 1-2 million more to seal the deal and pay his realease clause.

I would have liked to have him at Arsenal along with Sanchez they would be a good duo to have together.

He is more thrilled than I am... There is always a balance between an easy group with no notable teams and a tough group that you will probably not get through but at least some good games ahead. Looking forward to the Ajax games.



Edwin van der Sar: Celtic's group is more Champions League than Europa League

By Keith Jackson,

THE Ajax marketing director was thrilled to see his side drawn against Celtic and Fenerbahce in the Europa League because it feels more like a Champions League group.Edwin van der Sar: Celtic's group is more Champions League than Europa League

Watching the Newcastle v Arsenal game. Football boots - orange, yellow, sky blue, pink. I mean, really? Pink football boots! Can you imagine Chopper Harris, Peter Storey, Norman "Bites yer legs" Hunter or Dave Mackay wearing such horrific poncey footwear? I think not. The game's gone soft. Bunch of fooking pansies.

    • 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.
