Am I correct that wherever Stanley finish this season it will be the highest they've ever finished in the football pyramid? Or, is there some way of splitting Third division North and 3 div South that would be closer to the pinnacle? It depends whether you count this Accy Stanley as a successor clu...

I would have thought that the four new proposed bank holidays, to spread them out through the year, ought to be:

18th June
8th August
15th September
21st October

And if the Scots get independence, we could add 16th April as a bonus.

I’d like to know what Farage’s far right views are... Brexit, obviously. To some people, the idea of wanting to leave an established political union of many nations in order to go independent, is de facto far right.

Should keep them up. Plymouth and Scunthorpe have to play each other, so Stanley can't finish in the bottom three; and for them to be fourth bottom, at least 6 specific matches have to go the wrong way and four or five other teams get points in one or other of the last two. They're not as mathemati...

Can we have an away win for Doncaster v Accrington please?

Someone on one of their websites (The Shed) is complaining about the time added on because Burnley players were down for 7 minutes and there were 6 subs! On correction, he knocked it down to 4 because one of theirs was in the first half!

It’s isn’t a long shot to say going into the final weekend a win at Old Trafford for Cardiff plus us to lose vs Arsenal and a 3/4 goal swing will send us down. Don’t get me wrong last nights points was superb. But Sean Dyche tells us time and time again it isn’t over until it’s mathematically over....

At the time £700k was the speculation, but Dyche said it was £450k and I seem to tremember the accounts that year backed that up.

To be fair he has a point. I was obviously delighted with the point the Clarets needed but I was not proud of our performance. SD goes on about fairness and honesty but in the second half we milked every tackle,"injury", "cramp" to an embarrassing degree. I was just waiting for Barnes to be booked ...

Funny thing is, the Chelsea fans on Shed End really hate Ashley Barnes (partly because of when Mata got himself sent off after making that tackle that neraly injured himself). But they particularly hate a player who makes himself awkward, who puts himself about, who gets in the defenders' faces and ...

They were trying to analyse on Sky Sports, why Chelsea were upset at the final whistle. The answer's obvious - so why didn't they say it? Chelsea were upset because they didn't win. The rest is just detail. If they'd won there'd have been no scuffles, no late booking, no manager sent off, no "bumbag...

I’m sorry, I’m not accepting what fans predicted? I’m simply asking why posters are now wanting Cardiff to lose when they wanted to see Brighton relegated a week ago. Very little has changed.

I can see how you could argue that the bigger issue is how we dropped from 7th to 15th. But not 17th.

In theory, yes. I can't imagine it would ever be called, though; or that the defence would have time to pre-arrange it.

dsr

It used to be specifically in the rules that leaning on a teammate to gain height was ungentlemanly conduct and punished by an indirect free kick. I don't know if it still is, but I'd be surprised if they had deliberately taken it out.

VAR is a crap and non transparent process. In last nights game the ref gave a goal for the handball goal but was then "asked" by an anonymous officials to look at the pitch side monitor - that put questions in his mind and he finally judged the ball did not hit hand and into the goal. In the second...

I honestly don't know how you can't see that "exonerate" and "did not establish" have two very different meanings. Some people get words confused, it's as simple as that.

You're really not understanding this whole "global" thing, are you? And so what if there are unknown mechanisms that can cause it. We already have the actual cause.

All of it is our fault. There's no other known mechanism that explains the rapid change in temperature of the last 100 years than the carbon we're pumping into the atmosphere.

The linos can only judge by torso. Forget the rest of the body. Ball with winger. You are far side of your defender, who is close to you.

Looking on the bright side, the City game will be our 10th on TV and the Everton game our 11th. We get bonus money for the 11th and subsequent TV games - over £1m per game. We wouldn't have got that if City had won, I dare say.

Another rule I don’t understand - silly me - but I thought that it wasn’t offside if it was a deflection that played the ball to the attacking player? Glad Spurs won btw.

Probably it was. Especially as Labour, at least in the north, were also losing votes to UKIP. There were 3.8m UKIP votes in the general election 2015, even with the referendum promise.

That 26% of the vote then translated to one or two (can’t remember) MPs at the following general election, the panic from Cameron was for nothing. And the turnout at the last EU election meant that the 26% only translated to 4 million votes. Cameron wasn't panicking about losing seats to UKIP. He w...

Do you actually believe that the turnout will be lower this year than it was in 2014? Just to be clear, it was a pitiful 35% last time, and with the much heightened awareness of the EU in the intervening period it's hard to imagine the percentage not going up. It's also a big opportunity for remain...
