So... yes I know - this IS only Chelsea after all, and they're no Bournemouth, but it's a start. (gives me 3 points on predict-a-hammering too!) (smug smiley)

The chaps on FF had it right - when Chelsea went a man down Bilic changed things to play wide - spread the play and stretch them - then put in crosses to a target man that were bound to pay off - it's almost football 101 when the opposition is a man down.


I said this when BFS was in charge; playing the ball into the big man is only a fault when its is the default setting for everything you do.

BFS would have bought on Caroll for Sakho in a straight swap aimed at not losing; billion brings on Carroll AND keeps Sakho on the pitch in an attempt to win the game. Says everything you need to know about BFS negative low ambition football. Fit for Bolton, maybe. I am sooooo fooking glad the fat w*nker has gone and given his comment since leaving I'm loving this rubbing his limited capabilities in his fat face. I hope Sunderland go down.

Bilic could afford to do that, Chelsea were down to 10 men...

Well Miss Marple, today he put on Defoe (an out and out striker) when Sunderland's Toivonen (midfielder) was injured, so in this instance, he clearly did...

Agree with a lot of what Paul Scholes said.

Just now LVG came out with this little gem...


We are improving a lot, but it is a process. We were in the last 16 of the Capital One Cup and in the Champions League. Last year it was not like this.


Hellefookinglujah, we made the last 16 of the League Cup*. Next year, the quarters!

    • 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.
