Ha, ha. That's hilarious. Green is as Scouse as they come....and slightly racist but we'll brush over that.

Obviously Arsenal were always going to be the better team. I had thought Celtic would be more attacking in their team selection - One up front is defeatist (and that one should have been McDonald rather than Samaras, who is rubbish).


Arsenal looked a good side but needed a bit of luck. They had only 5 shots on target, which is probably less than they would have in most premiership games.


But there can be no arguements about the winner. They deserved to come out on top. 1-0 might have given us some hope. I don't fear for Celtic at the Emirates, although we rarely win away from home we are rarely embarrassed either.


I can't go without one little whinge about the referee - he obviously thinks football is a non contact sport. Its a mans game and Arsenal played on his softness. Certainly not a homer.

Alan Green may be a Pool fan, but Jesus he covers it well. He kisses manc arse at every opportunity, and he is Northern Irish, but thinks he's English. For example saying that he fears for "us" when referring to the England team, how the fcuk is he English???? I hate the man and would love to see him ousted from broadcasting, he is about as impartial as Adolf Hitler the coont.


As for Celtic, big fish small pond.

Really, that's weird. I was just talking to my father-in-law about him walking away. Who has suspended betting? I think it's unlikely but hey, stranger things have happened.


just on to my mate a Sky Sports News to see if he's working and if he's heard anything.

No mention at all on BBC, only a prematch interview with him saying he is shocked at reaction to opening day loss, feels a win tonight could change everything.


Maybe it hinges on tonight's result... Seems very unlikely at this stage, although he can't be pleased with his transfer kitty.


Anyway, can't see this result lasting 90 minutes, but fair play to Burnley, apparently a cracking goal, then a penalty save!

      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" ?

      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."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
