What do you mean Keef? I was a bit distracted with nerves to notice any shenanigans. Do you mean his usual posturing? I was suprised he let Giggsy take a free kick but that was the only unusual thing I noticed. :))

He spat his dummy out, again. Cant exactly remember what led to it? it was because he didn't get his own way.

I know he is a fantastic player with a great strike rate but the bloke infuriates me, his attitude stinks, and I know it comes from a passion to win but it's the way he reacts to certain situations that I find very annoying.


I remember now it was because he didn't get a corner.

I doubt he's a bar?a fan RD, however spaniards v the english it's probably no contest. When commentator said there were people in Madrid supporting man u I wasn't too convinced. There's a strange lingering antipathy towards England (they are aware that there are other countries in Reino Unido but they always refer to all of us as los ingleses). They may like us individually (away from the costas) and love England itself but I think they always love to get one over on us even if it be catalans especially in a weirdly more united post euro championship Spain.


I could be wrong though.

I genuinely didn't see that. If he did, which I am sure he did, it's par for the course with him. I am suprised that he can get away with a lot of his attitude to the staff, but I guess that shows how much Fergie values him on the field. I don't like his posturing and attitude any more than the next man but I think he's a valuble player on the field and I want to keep him. I know you want to get a rise out of us Mancs but I still maintain that if you had him in your team you'd feel the same way. He grimaces and groans and moans but he can change a game and a I don't believe anyone would drop him from their team for it when he is a match winner.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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.
