Very odd scenes on the touch line during that game. That aside Skrtel was very lucky to stay on the pitch following his 2 footed lunge, just as well he didn't connect.

Spot on. Have to agree with all that. The unbeaten run was good while it lasted but there was an awful lot of draws in that run that really should have been wins. Hopefully, this loss can be just the shot in the arm we need. It's all part of a learning curve for our young squad.

Nooooooo! Thankfully he's too toxic right now, but if Pep and Ancelotti end up at City and Bayern, the cupboard of potential new managers is looking bare...

Toxic now? I can't think of a time when he hasn't been. I could be wrong but I can't think of a club he hasn't left acrimoniously.

True, I meant he's more toxic now than he's ever been. Let's not forget in the past he was still given top jobs because of his excellent record of winning trophies. I'm not so sure one of the big clubs would take that risk now after such a spectacular collapse and all he tother aggro like Doctorgate. He's made Moyes look like a genius...

He refused to go to certain clubs, didn't want to play outside London. He was no longer in our plans. Pochetino had given him plenty of time off to sort himself out a new club and his 'personal problems' that he was having but he just wouldn't play ball. He asked for silly money at Aston Villa who came in for him and wanted a ?1 million signing off fee plus a signing on fee. West Ham were close to signing him but he again huffed and puffed. He left a bad stink in the dressing room and we don't need players like him around the club so we terminated his contract by mutual agreement. It's not like we've missed him.

      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" ?

      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.
