If McCabe doesn't want to go there - and it seems neither side wants to go there - I am wondering if it because he has seen West Ham's books and takes the pragmatic view that a third of a cake is better than none at all? After all that it looks like it still may not be all over for West Ham and there could still be another fine or even a points deduction...

LOL!


LadyG, a 4-4 thriller at Old Trafford? Would make for quite the match, but I susepct it'll be more of a 1-1 / 1-0 / 0-1 type affair.


Agre with Matthew, even a win today would not bring the league Liverpool's way, Man U just are not likely to drop more than 3 ponts the rest of the season. However, I think a second place finish within touching distance of first would actually be a significant improvement for the pool (once people forget disappointment and look at previous tables). Still need to keep plugging aay though, and a win today would still be very nice...

I disagree - any disappointment will not be forgotten. I've still not forgiven David James, 'Jessie James' cowboy mistakes, against United, from 12 years ago, that cost us title.

Mike - do you really find that sort of thing funny? I think its nasty and inappropriate. A lot of people lost their lives and not just footballers. I hope decent people on this forum let you know what they think of this type of comment.

Mike CG you are a disgusting human being and I hope you get banned from the forum. Maybe you've got a song for the dead of Hillsborough or Heysel or Bradford?


Good stuff from Liverpool today, we were poor, Vidic and VDS especially. Is this the result you need to win the league?

Now that that offensive and disgusting post has been erased (thank you admins) I will re-post my congratulations to Liverpool. Very well played today, we were very poor, especially Vidic and VDS. Does this mean that Liverpool are now on their way to glory?

Back on topic...



I think this certainly makes it a bit more intersting but my money is still on Man U (well actually it's on Chelsea but I think I've lost that). The other end of the table is really exciting....Newcastle looking very vunerable with Arsenal and Chelsea their next two games.


A question for the Liverpool fans. Why hasn't Benitez let them play like this all season? I think he's found his courage too late for this particular pot but Europe...who know?

Rafa is too cautious, and I don't think that is going to change. Having said that they've beaten Chelsea, United and Real Madrid all home an away this season, so that proves they have the players to do the job. I can imagine Ferguson is having a fit as now everyone in Europe knows Liverpool are the best even if they do win the title this season for the 18th time.


I could have been at Old Trafford today, but gave my ticket to a friend. Do I regret it!? Hell no! When I go to Old Trafford it's always bad luck, so feel relieved I've done my bit for the 'cause' :))


Have to say though, I am slightly disappointed it wasn't 6-1, I think Gerrard should have scored a second, and El Zhar should have made an easy pass for Babel to score in the last seconds. Anyway, 4-1 is not bad.

    • 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.
