Mick he spent a fortune 2 summers in a row. And Clyne and Lallana are decent signings. Loveren has been the real let down, but when he was bought people outside of LFC were saying it looked a good signing. You can't always tell. But he's just too stubborn, he has no plan B during a match. He can change tactics to start a match, but when things weren't working he'd never try something different, he just dogedly stuck to "his way".


To be honest I do think the timing is harsh, but I'd have rather they got rid in the summer.


I will say for him though that last season we were hit hard by injuries, especially that of Sturridge. Had he been fit you never know where we might have finished.

Klopp and Ancelotti have been available for quite some time, so if one of them gets the job it makes the decision to sack Rodgers yesterday a strange one, should've happened at the end of last season if they had serious doubts bout him. Personally, I think having artwork of himself at home was a sackable offence.


Ots...LFC have a 'transfer committee', so transfers weren't solely down to Rodgers. Any new manager will have to accept that or convince FSG to give them total control...

It was a similar first 30mins against Saints, so not sure why LVG is surprised, the team lacks pace apart from Martial, Rooney's and Carrick's legs have gone. It would be nice if LVG for once got off his fat Edam arse and stood in the technical area, telling the players what needs changing instead of waiting until half time....

I thought Klopp had ruled himself out of a new job over the summer.

Rogers CLAIMED that he had final say, so whilst he might not have gotten his dream list, he gave the green light for what they did buy.

What rot! BFS left behind a very, VERY happy club. Pleased?! We all waved him off with a tear in the eye.

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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.
