    Any excel wizards?

    =if(b2<a2,"In Time","Out of Time") If you are happy for them to equal, i.e. exact due time = on time then add an "=", i.e. =if(b2<=a2,"In Time","Out of Time")

    Final Game On Sky?

    Relegation is sorted so it won't be any of them. If the results go completely against us this weekend meaning we'd need to win 7-0 at Boro for promotion, and if Cardiff win at Sheff Wed taking the last play-off place to the final day, then maybe Sky would think it's worth showing those games...

    It's all about Derby!

    The advantage we have is that we'll already know if Boro have slipped up at Birmingham. If they do, a win is suddenly much better than a draw. Completely agree with what you're saying though - go for the win even if they haven't.

    Burnley fan pictured with "Premiership Here We Come" scarf

    Indeed, but QPR are 12/1 to win at Turf Moor for a reason. Burnley are as good as promoted IMHO.

    Preston North End Vs Burnley *****Official Match Thread*****

    We'd be promoted 2 hours after our game against Derby finished. If Burnley v QPR kicked of knowing they needed to win or we were up, surely the Albion would show their game on the Concourse TVs and let us all celebrate in the stadium? Or we'll all just jump on trains to Brighton/Lewes and fight...

    Preston North End Vs Burnley *****Official Match Thread*****

    I completely agree that a draw is nowhere near as good as a win for them. I don't think anyone's saying otherwise. It hugely hits their chance of promotion. But most of the other side of that goes to increasing Middlesbrough's chance; nowhere near as much of it goes to ours.

    Preston North End Vs Burnley *****Official Match Thread*****

    Maybe, but even if they're promoted they might still want a result to win the title. They won't roll over.

    Preston North End Vs Burnley *****Official Match Thread*****

    No, it doesn't really. Unless we make up the goal difference swing, or Burnley then drop points v QPR/Charlton. As the goal difference stands: If Burnley win, we need 9 points to guarantee promotion. If Burnley draw, we need 9 points to guarantee promotion. If Burnley lose, we need 7.

    Charlton Card - We need your help for our Fans United day

    Our match finishes at Boro, with us 2 points clear of Burnley whose game at Charlton has been abandoned because of the home fans. Go on then Football League, sort that one out...

    League Position Decider

    Sadly (or maybe happily) no there isn't. If we (and/or Burnley) were to finish level on points with Boro, the number of wins would be different.

    The ultimate REFERENDUM thread

    Farage's take on it: "Look, I know his family’s background. Kenya. Colonialism. There is clearly something going on there. It’s just that you know people emerge from colonialism with different views of the British. Some thought that they were really rather benign and rather good, and others saw...

    The ultimate REFERENDUM thread

    I can't see him changing that many minds to be honest. If you support Leave anyway then you'll probably just be annoyed that he's spoken up rather than convinced to change your mind. He's voicing an opinion but without having a significant effect. Similarly if he favoured Leave then most Remain...

    The ultimate REFERENDUM thread

    His words are here if anyone cares to read them: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/21/as-your-friend-let-me-tell-you-that-the-eu-makes-britain-even-gr/ He doesn't really shy away from the fact that a Remain vote would be better for the US, though yes he does also make a case that it's...

    [Politics] Brexit

    This argument is such absolute nonsense - and has been covered about 4 times in this thread. Hark back to an old (separate) debate, point out that some of the Remain camp once wanted to join the Euro, and claim that's evidence we should leave. They're separate debates, and the leaders of the...

    [Brighton] Points needed for automatic promotion.

    This would either involve Burnley only picking up 4 points from Preston, Charlton & QPR, or (if our one win is against Boro), Boro picking up only 2 points from Ipswich & Birmingham. Not gonna happen. We'll need all 9, unless Burnley lose at Preston tonight in which case 7 will do.

    Last "real" chance for Burnley to blink first tonight.....

    It's frustrating that we actually need Burnley to lose tonight (which would mean 7 points will see us promoted), as them drawing doesn't really do much to help us (we'll still need all 9). The way they've hung on at the top with last minute goals recently, extending their unbeaten run to 20...

    Giles Wilkes put it a lot better than I could: "There's going to be a lot of confusion between forecasting and analysis in the next 48 hours. Put it this way: I can't forecast what my weight will be next year. I can accept analysis that eating a pound of butter a day will make me much fatter."

    [Politics] Brexit

    Ah ok - bit of a Whoosh moment for me there! I don't disagree - I think to a large extent this referendum is about the lesser of two evils, but personally I do think Leave is by far the worse of the options.
