Never saw last night, crap result, but bit early to completely write a team off isn't it? I seem to remember Man U being written off more than once in the last couple of years after bad starts. That said, something needs to be sorted asap for the pool. As a friend said to me last night, they look flatter than the average pancake.

I know it's too early to write them off Keef and sorry for missing the winking smiley Sandperson but I can't see Liverpool in the equation and the end of the season. Their squad simply isn't strong enough and they haven't the money to go out and spend on the three or four players they need despite the ?30 million they received for Alonso.

There is a lot of behind the scenes squabbling between the two American owners and Benitez seems to have his hands tied financially and because of that it really wouldn't surprise me if he resigns or is sacked.

Agree with everything you just said. Unfortunately though, stamping feet and shouting yanks out, won't make any difference. They have thick skins, and I fear we're stuck with them. Being honest, I wouldn't shed too many tears if Rafa went, I like him, but find him a bit too stubborn. My concern would be that some players might go with him to Spain.

all very quiet on the celtic arsenal game for which i apologise but obviously not too confident. But arsenal fans are not up for banter so would be wasting my time as all i get it return is big fish small pond. Will however say that we have not given up. We shall fight, to the death, (if the referee allows tackles this week of course).

No it's a "I've got no brain so I don't get it" thing. A Big1 as in a big tool. Now do you get it?? FFS.

Alawys up for banter but Celtic are no threat, just a laughing stock, so it would be a wate of my time. Oh yeah, big fish small pond. Nearly forgot.

Oh no. Another brain teaser.


Anyway, back to the football. Scoreline for tonights game? I'm going 2-1 Celtic. Arsenal to scrape through then probably reach the semis.

Fcuk me ragged you really do live in a dream world, 3 - 0 to the Arsenal to get rid of the waste of space in the Champs league that is Celtic. As for the game against the Mancs at the weekend I don't think we'll be beaten.

      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.
