It's amazing how many things Ringo claims to have been right about without being able to provide any evidence. I can see why that "discussion" on evidence took so long now.

I get that. I enjoy the company of many friends who hail from different cultures too. That’s why I welcome the close relationships we have now with European people.

Leicester went from a title to a relegation battle in 12 months if I remember rightly and they've never been shy with money under their current ownership. To put it into perspective, when Leicester were in that relegation battle their wages were roughly double ours and they've carried on going up s...

It's only different now due to increased revenue, at the time they earned enough to be financially stable, as did Rovers if ran properly, like any other business. Bolton's problem, along with most clubs, is giving in to stupid wage demands, transfer fees etc. Bolton became reliant on Eddie to keep ...

The non-economic elements are also clear. Many value the nation state in a similar way to how they view family - the glue that gives comfort to our lives and binds us together. Burnley fans, and the way we feel about the Clarets, should understand that. Some of us believe that nation state sovereig...

What about being told that you have two logins (and a page of trying to prove it)? That must be worth way more than some bog-standard copy/pasting.

Finances have obviously been done to death on the other money thread.

When Dyche dropped Hart he said he has changed everything so what was left was to change the keeper.

On current form it's looking like 38 points might be required. However, with the tough run-in for both us and Cardiff my gut feeling is that 36 (and goal difference) would be enough (and given the fixtures, if one team wins the Burnley v Cardiff match it will probably be them).

No. John Coleman never did. But he did play a lot of non-league football at a level higher than Accrington were when they appointed him. I would say a playing career is essential for a manager.

If you're ever using public wi-fi (phone, tablet or computer) you should be using a VPN.

Interesting to compare the 2017 results. A lot of seat losses for the tories and a big gain for the Lib Dems plus UKIP and the Greens adding a fair few seats.

I presume if the referendum had been 52% in favour of Remain, you would equally have been pushing for something like May's deal on the grounds of not ignoring the 48% who wanted to leave?

Can't know everything. In that case, Parliament can order the revocation of Article 50 and then immediately repeat it, if they so wish.

This vote, I believe, doesn't mean any more than if they had voted to make the rain stop.

The second problem I have is that we all voted with beliefs on a spectrum. Say the Brexit with the furthest distance from the EU is a 10, and a full “in the Euro” Remain is a 1.
