It would be the best thing that's happened to the product known as the Premier League as far as I can remember. I genuinely hope they win it. I'm tired of the same old same old. It would be a real boost to the league.

I found the antics of those wonderful Chavski "fans" booing the players and attaching no blame whatsoever to the toxic Mourinho for what's gone on as both laughable and an indictment of them as a group. Everything about the club is toxic. Mourinho, the club, the fans, players and Abramovich deserve each other.

Surely you'd prefer Arsenal to win it. It's been quite a while.

I had no intention of goading you Atila. I asked a genuine question.

I know, this blind faith in a manager or player has to be one of the worse things about the modern football fan. We saw it at Liverpool with the Suarez/Evra incident.

I can't believe some Utd fans would be happy for Mourinho to become manager. As well as his antics, his style of football can be just as pragmatic and boring to watch as LVG's...

Hmm, LFC made some stupid decisions over that, which I think made a lot of fans cringe (the t-shirts especially). But I still now stand by my belief that it was more about stupidity and naivety than intent to racially abuse. I think even Evra acknowledged that.

Whether the abuse was intentionally racist or not, Evra was clearly the victim of it. That didn't stop the vast majority of Liverpool fans booing him at the next Liverpool/Utd match as if he was somehow to blame. Some even accused him of making it all up. That's the blind loyalty I'm talking about...

      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."
