    Burnley fan pictured with "Premiership Here We Come" scarf

    Sure, but that's an entirely different point to GD and overhauling them. While we've played well in the last three games (although I thought we were a bit nervy against Charlton at times), the fact we've scored twelve in those three has likely been helped by playing poor teams, which can't be...

    Burnley fan pictured with "Premiership Here We Come" scarf

    Is their point not that we've been scoring a lot because we've been playing bad teams? I mean QPR haven't been fabulous, while Charlton and Fulham are right down at the bottom of the table.

    The Queen vs The Republic

    They're not acquiring them though, the monarch still owns the Crown Estate now. They'd just no longer provide the treasury with the profits from the Crown Estate. Theoretically the government could take over the estate, but it'd get into some very murky territory about the definitions of...

    The Queen vs The Republic

    But the monarchy still owns the estates right? They're managed by the independent board, but should the monarchy no longer continue the money earned from the land would no longer be contributed to the treasury (at least not all of it, obviously there would be tax on the profits from the Crown...

    New Kit - Few Questions

    Yeah it works well, and I think they still put out a new third kit every year, which gives something new to sell without replacing the main kits every season.

    Play off play off MATCH

    Thanks for that! Agree, those results are unlikely but also not wildly so. Could be interesting.

    Play off play off MATCH

    It does go to a play off according to section 9.2 of the Football League rules. But can we get identical goal difference and goals scored from our current situation? Seems tricky.

    Middlesborough Train tickets

    I haven't checked to somewhere closer like York or Leeds, but may be better. Flights are about the same as the train and (I think) you can only get to Newcastle and then train from there (plus you'd have to get to Heathrow). Supporters coach leaves the Amex at 4.15am and is £40. Not ideal, but...

    Middlesborough Train tickets

    When I checked this the timings were super impractical. As in you arrive at about 6am and have to leave at about midnight.

    [Albion] Did the "Boro 500" actually go on sale from 8.45 this morning

    Well I got mine at about 9:02 with no issues.

    The Queen vs The Republic

    To quote from the Crown Estate's website: So that does seem to be the amount that's going to the Treasury? The democracy argument is way more compelling than the cost one, and it's one that I'm much more torn on.

    The Queen vs The Republic

    The issue of whether or not they should own the Crown Estates very quickly edges towards "All property is theft" territory, which I doubt many would be that happy with. I mean what give anyone to own the land under their house etc... Absolutely agree on tourism, although it's trickier to put a...

    The Queen vs The Republic

    On the cost of the Royal Family, my understanding was that we pay their expenses and they hand us the profits from the Crown Estates. The government says the royals were granted £42.8m for 2016-17, while the latest figures I can find for the Crown Estates is for 2014-15, which gave £285.1m to...

    Decent cafe for a full-English in Bethnal Green

    It was pretty large, I just took the picture from an awful angle.

    Another 500 Boro tickets go on sale...

    This is where I'm torn. I really, really can't afford the train, but coach is doable. However, it's a very, very long day. Going to have to make a decision tonight I suppose though.

    Decent cafe for a full-English in Bethnal Green

    To be honest I mostly skip breakfast, but normally I just have a yogurt. However, there are some days when only a concerning quantity of food will do.

    Decent cafe for a full-English in Bethnal Green

    There's a place called Hulya's Cafe that's right by York Hall that I love for some reason. Always seems quite quiet and good fry-ups. This was last time I was there:

    Another 500 Boro tickets go on sale...

    Seagulls Travel is £40 on the coach. National Express (if you don't want to go via supporters coach) is a little less if you can get to London, but the timing is awful (leave at 11:30pm on the Friday to get there at half 5, return at about midnight to get to London at 6:20am).

    Southbound train line currently block South of East Croydon due to points failure

    A genuine bona-fide electrified six-car monorail?

    Southbound train line currently block South of East Croydon due to points failure

    Pretty much the only option at this point, and it'll never happen.
