TLS - I have just backed Barca to win @ 2.35 with 30 mins to go.


General - I quite like Chelsea under Hiddink - definately good to watch but I'd like to have an international flavour to the final - 2 English teams in the final is not what the Champions League is about. Although it does reflect English superiority, I don't think its a good spectacle for the neutral.


Eto has just made an excellent save to foil Eto - good game now with barca building the pressure - if Anelka comes on though, I would be concerned about him, he is excellent on the break.

Even more annoying - I had ?144 on my betfair account and bet ?44 on barca in running - the bet was not matched so I (thought I cancelled it) and did it again and it seems I did 2 x ?44 bets. Thats the second time I have doubled up by mistake on betfair and lost, a bit annoying. Thats the trouble with trying to watch football, have a beer, bet, write on the forum and try to buy a patio power washer online, all at the same time.

Never mind Mick it could've been worse, you could've ended up with two patio power washers...

0-0 isn't that great a result, Chelski will probably still have to win at the Bridge to go through, and with Chelski having to press forward more, Barca will be more effective hitting them on the break...

I don't hate Chelsea as a club, as they really are a bit of an irrelevance. It's their players I don't like.

I made a ?59 Profit on the Game Mick but made a sily "schoolboy error"...


I did "First Goal Odds" and all the Second-Half Blocks of 10 Minutes Won me money.


I forgot that "No Goals" was a loser!--I'm thinking in the second-half that I was guaranteed a Profit on this market. Wrong!


btw: Saw your other post M8---NEVER drink and Gamble!!!!:)-D

I wouldn't quite say they parked the bus. They defended very well and had to as Henry, Eto'o and Messi have scored 90 goals between them this season. Cech had a blinder in goal and John Terry was like a rock throughout. I thought they got the tactics spot on but I can still see them losing at home as I'm not convinced by their home form.
I think the eventual winner will come from the Barca Chelsea match based on what we have seen so far. No offence to Arsenal but I can't see them getting past MU and I think MU will not win the final as they are running a bit low on gas after a long season. But I'd like to see a Barca MU final.

    • 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.
