Our banner from last night. Spent hours making this, but we got a mention in two papers, so the sore fingers and late nights were worth it.


Was going to post a picture of it, but the file is too large. Oh well.......


The Telegraph - Henry Winter


The Mirror - Oliver Holt

Posting this here as well as the Wanted section. I have a single spare to the Semi-final this Saturday in the Arsenal end. Ace seats in block 120, 15 rows back. I only want face value, which is ?58 including all the rip-off booking fees and other bullsh1t. No probs if you are a Chav fan and want to come, just be aware that you are in the Arsenal end so no blue to be worn, or songs about flags.....


PM me if interested

2 mentions is good going. You never know it may become another "Joey ate the frogs legs"

Any Rugby fans out there who sup their pints of bitter and insist on how cultured and well behaved a sport it is, compared to football, just because they don't argue with the Referee!?


Check this out - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7997013.stm

West Ham United will be taken over by a consortium of international banks in the coming weeks. Icelandic government-appointed officials running the stricken investment bank Straumur are set to take control from Bjorgolfur ?Gudmundsson at Upton Park as they seek to recover the money lost in the collapse of that nation's economy.

Oh dear looks like Big Sam and Fergie have got together to orchestrate a few headlines about Rafa being arrogant and disrespectful. As ever pots calling the kettle black...

I know he is in exile, but I wonder what Sandperson would say about which of Fergie and Rafa is the one cracking up now!?

Haha, okay..


But rather bizarre that they both comment on same subject. Only last week Big Sam, before playing Liverpool, boasted about getting under skins of other managers but never being affected himself... I really don't know why Fergie has allowed himself to make such remarks before an FA Cup semi final, especially when he poked fun at Rafa doing same thing before 1st leg against Chelsea rather than concentrating on matter in hand.

    • 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.
