That's not bad 123. Please see betting matters where you are needed!

Tonight on MOTD I saw a Fernando Torres masterclass. (I know some lucky people saw it in person).


I thought Alan Hansen was wrong in saying how easy it was for Torres - great players make things look easy and that is what Torres did today. He really is a class apart.


I'm moving towards viewing Torres as the best striker ever to have played in the premiership. Although he has only been here a 2/3 years I now expect him, in time, to exceed the accomplishments of Henry, Ronaldo and Rooney etc.


His first touch is excellent and he dummys defenders to make space in a tight penalty box, in a way that makes it look easy. He scores headed goals, in short he has everything. Great great player.


People talk of Drogba being a class player, but Torres is a class apart when compared to Drogba, he is comfortbaly the best striker in the Premiership at the moment.

Quids (doesn't like jokes)


Wasn't it a bell?


The dogs not Carlton



Mick Mac:

Yes it was a bell Quids, you know that. But we can adapt for humours sake.

There are certainly 5+ worse teams.


West Ham have also have 2 games in hand and played Spuds and Liverpool (both narrow losses)..and the loss at Wigan doesn't look so bad tonight! Plus Hull and Pompey look sunk already!


At the other end - Man U look the team to me this season.

I have now backed Arsenal, Liverpool (both big profits) and Chelsea (hedging). MU I'm exposed on, did not fancy them but they look good, if I hedge on them then best time to do that is when they next lose. So keeping an eye on things, as, if I get them covered I could be in a really good position.
I'm in profit (small) whoever wins with free bets on Arsenal, City, Spurs in ascending order of magnitude of returns! I've laid Burnely to be relegated and have Portsmouth to go down - a decent win but small profit if they stay up too thanks to an earlier trade. Happy days.

    • 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.
