Because we don't want to join the Euro...? Isn't that obvious? Or is it really that difficult to tell the difference between the two debates? (If it is, it's covered on this thread several pages back...)
You are quite right.
Preston 4-1 Burnley
Charlton 0-1 Brighton
Brighton 3-0 Derby
Burnley 3-2 QPR
Middlesbrough 2-1 Brighton
Charlton 0-1 Burnley
...would do the job. (I'm assuming it's more likely that Preston thrash Burnley than Charlton...)
Preston 1-2 Burnley
Charlton 0-2 Brighton
Brighton 3-0 Derby
Burnley 3-2 QPR
Middlesbrough 0-2 Brighton
Charlton 1-2 Burnley
Or swap some of the results (i.e. either ours in each week, or Burnley's results in each week), or add a consistent number of goals to each of our figures. Pretty...
A £100m coin toss?
I think the Football League should just say "we have to promote three teams; as we can't separate these two we just promote them both along with Boro" and scrap the play-offs.
Not to disagree with your on Breivik, but ECHR is nothing to do with the EU and the result of this referendum won't affect how the ECHR affects us. There are 28 countries in the EU; all 47 members of the Council of Europe are signed up to the ECHR.
I thought about starting this thread myself - count me in wherever we can get a decent Albion gathering.
I don't know The Horseshoe that BBGH mentions but if it's got big enough screens and room for Albion fans to gather (and make some noise...) then it could work.
But I don't think it does. It says that if we leave, the effect on our economy would be somewhere in the range -2.2% to +1.6, and probably in the range -0.8% to +0.6%.
I'll quite happily make the same statement again: It doesn't predict a better outcome for our economy if we Leave than if we...
Selective quoting there. The bit where you write "...." actually says:
This is right alongside
Best case +1.6%; worst case -2.2%. Expected range -0.8% to 0.6%:
That hardly endorses Leave, and I don't think it cancels out any of the analyses that support Remain.
It predicts a better outcome for our economy than the Treasury does, for sure. It doesn't predict a better outcome for our economy if we Leave than if we Remain though. The actual quote is:
So, yes, there is one think tank that suggests it will broadly make no difference either way by 2030...
Because, as far as I'm aware, no financial experts on either side of that old Euro debate are disagreeing with them.
I've seen plenty of people come out and say figures have been exaggerated - especially about those from the Treasury - but I haven't seen a single economic analysis that says...
Me too, but I think it's because I've spent more time fixating on Burnley v Boro than I have our own game. I'm certain Hughton will have the team fully focussed on our game but I'm now worrying myself that I'm taking three points for granted too much...
Except that's not actually true, is it?
1) Osborne asked a specific question: Why would Germany and France agree to giving the UK an EU-relationship deal that would be better than the one they’ve got themselves? If EU states were to agree to this, there would be no point in any of the other 27...
We have a perfectly adequate ball in our court: win all our games and we are promoted. Is it going to be easy? Of course it isn't. But is it in our court? Absolutely yes.
Well yes. You can no longer make/sell every widget the same way, you have to do some this way and some the other way. You're claiming this is better for your business?
Ain't that the truth. Honestly I suspect a lot of things that are blamed on the EU are absolutely nothing to do with them and...
