I also tipped Arsenal before the start of the season. At the time they had only signed Cech, and I thought they would at least sign a striker to give Giroud some competition. I know it's difficult signing a quality plrayer in January, but Wenger really should've pushed the boat out to sign one. They can still win it, and I've predicted them to beat Leicester on Sunday, but I've just got this feeling that Spurs will sneak it. I'd love Leicester to win it, but Spurs winning the league will be just as refreshing for the game...

And more fun. I just don't really enjoy going to big stadium matches, no soul.

Yeah, I always think the worse when I'm at White Hart Lane. I can't relax and enjoy the game as much as I do at Dulwich Hamlet. I feel far less pressure at Champion Hill. Spurs can be three-nil up with five minutes to go and I still think the other team can snatch it. And in those last five minutes I'm having a series of heart attacks and begging the referee to blow the final whistle. I think it's best for my health and my wallet if I just stay away from now on.

One thing in Leicester's favour is the maximum number of games they will play this season is 13. The others could be playing 20+ because of the cups. All the big clubs including Spurs will want to win something. I don't expect they will just throw away that chance for the PL but try and manage it fielding weaker team's when they think they can get away with it.


United may need to concentrate on winning the Europa for CL qualification next season. If they go on a run though someone may drop out of the current top 4. Wonder who that might be? Makes it interesting from every angle. I tipped Arsenal too. It's almost now or never for them. Should be fun on Sunday.

If I was a Spurs fan I'd want MoPo to field a very weakened team for the Europa. Ok, if they win it they get a cup, but they have a real chance of winning the PL this year and are looking strong to finish in the top 4 and get into the CL next season, regardless. Go for it!...

Moyes was sacked as soon as it became apparent we wouldn't qualify for the CL. LVG is not far away from that situation. I see absolutely no point in keeping him for the last year of his contract. He's not going to turn things around in 1 season, he won't change...

Rooney isn't fit to polish Bobby Charlton's boots. I'm old enough remember what a fabulous player he was. The drop of the shoulder and thunder in both boots. Pure class. Total legend. Fantastic player. One of the best but not quite George, who simply was the best ever.

One way of keeping certain sections of the fanbase entertained and it is Holland after all

      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."
