This was a long time before my time Mick, but I'd be very interested to hear from you how great a player Kenny was up at Celtic? I guess people will say George Best or Eric Cantona was a better player but apart from that being argumentative Kenny won 3 European Cups and countless League titles in England as well as a bucket load of trophies in Scotland (when Scotland were a superior force to England) which for me makes him the outstanding number 7 in world football.

Might be worth looking closer to home first Matt- was he better than the man he replaced being kevin Keegan? He won 2 euro player of the years in a no 7 shirt. He was someone Liverpool thought they would struggle to replace and the reason they broke the uk transfer record to secure Kenny.It would be an interesting debate for Liverpool fans as Keegan was the original king of the kop.

Bob Paisley who managed both Keegan and Dalglish said, "Of all the players I have played alongside, managed and coached in more than 40 years at Anfield, he [Dalglish] is the most talented."


Legendary striker, Dixie Dean who once scored 60 top flight league goals in a season for Everton, said of Dalglish, "a wonderful player, such skill, so brave. Probably the best combination of goalscorer and goalmaker I've ever seen".

Obviously UEFA disagree with bob paisley jah lush Anna Matt etc.not many players have won 2 European player of the year awards.its just another case of the best player in the English league being automatically assumed to be the best generally. In continental Europe Keegan will have a higher standing.

Aaah! Are you feeling left out? Actually it's old players from the past we're talking about not you're money grabbing, diving, cheating, preening ponces like Ronaldo. Oh! He doesn't player for you anymore does he. Great player that Ronaldo.

Very good Jah.

That's funny Jah. He's got off the mark with Real in the form of a slagging off from the oppostion in a friendly for diving "too much". There's a shock!!!!

Jerzy Dudek has been shooting his mouth off about our Rafa, "it is not easy to negotiate with Rafa Benitez"


Although I have to say Rafa has been too diplomatic over Alonso, I can't help get the feeling that if it were anyone else but his boyhood club then Rafa would cut loose with a few barbed volleys (e.g. without Alonso no one will be able to conduct Kaka, Ronaldo, Benezma) but obviously he doesn't want to totally burn bridges if he has managerial ambitions at the Bernabeu. Having said that Spanish motormouth Guillem Ballague reckons Rafa's ultimatum of 48 hours to sign Alonso will be resented by President Florentino Perez and the sticking point could be that no one involved in the deal will 'want to lose face or to walk away with their reputation tarnished'.

More seriously celtic losing at home after 5 mins and still losing after 30.missing our 2 key midfielders with injury sounds like they are bossing middle of pitch. Could be strachan like baptism for Tony m. I'm worried now an away goal behind already.have only lost once in 35 ch league games at home and that was barca.
Yup half time score 1-0 to the Russians - maybe they should have lowered ticket prices further to get a bumper crowd with what is at stake. I think Dinamo already have 15 league games under their belt and you know they're no mugs from that league.
Bad bad bad.assumerd it would be a sell out crowd but maybe not.anyway no midfield. The rubbish Italian played well in pre season and he is simply not good enough at euro level. We have been in a few scrapes befoRe though so hope Tony can say right thing at Ht.

    • 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.
