With the new TV money an already competitive PL is going to get a lot more competitive. Clubs outside the top 6 don't have to sell a la Everton/Stones...

So you put your mortgage on it presumably?

I didn't see or hear about the reasons for the sendings off.

I really hope that is the case and the money doesn't go on stupid transfer fees and ridiculous wages.

That's the dog's bollocks.


Been waiting since I as a kid for a win at Anfield - remember a great 1-1 there in mid 70s when Keith Robson scored and Smith equalised and Mervyn Day played a blinder for us to get the draw.


Doesn't matter (to me anyway) that this isn't the Pool of old - we buried 'em.


Home form is down to nerves and the headless chicken panic when they feel the crowd on their backs. But with Nolan finally out of the way I think things will gel.

I did think about you today RD. Not for long though!


After our bad start & going one down, I thought I'd be congratulating you at the end & blaming our loss on the absence of Montero. But we didn't need him anyway!


I'm assuming you watched it & will agree that in the 2nd half we turned it around & deserved to win. :)

Not as far as I'm concerned. Who's going to give them a run for their money? Certainly not Arsenal, United, Liverpool or Chavs.

LVG has spent the best part of half a billion on his "project" with sod all return. Swansea deserved their victory today, Gary Monk showing you don't have to spend shed loads to get decent results. If any other manager had spent the same as LVG with the same end product the press would crucify them.

      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."
