No, no it wasnt. That is my point, the trendline is misleading. Look at the actual figures. Britain didnt start to overhaul Germany, France et al until 1980/81 when there was sharp sustained improvement. The real trend between 1958 and 1970 was things were getting slightly worse on an already really bad situation. They werent improving

Mainly because he wouldnt earn anything

Not compared with France Germany and Italy it wasnt. The trend line is deceptive, the relative growth improvements didnt kick in until after 1975. Yes of course no-one can definitively prove the EC /EU is responsible for improved economic performance and yes Thatcher probably helped. However we know we suddenly had free access to a much large market which was much closer to us than the commonwealth, we know economic growth picked up and our exports to europe increased. Of course maybe its all a coincidence. Maybe its coincidence that we won WW2 after the US and Russia joined. Maybe its a coincidence that the pound tanked when Brexit happened. Maybe its a coincidence that Theresa May gave an extra billion to NI. Or maybe it isnt.

Thats was a couple of hours ago. Must be 17 or 18k by now

That looks awesome!

I think we should stick with core projections...

I have exactly your idea, so might bump into you if we both take the advice given

Brexit might have been a mistake, other approaches should have been tried before resorting to a referendum and the Governments Brexit negotiating strategy is a farce. Pretty bleak picture painted by the Director of the Vote Leave Campaign. http://metro.co.uk/2017/07/04/man-behind-350m-brexit-bus-lie-just-said-leaving-the-eu-is-an-error-6754392/

Fair enough - but that shows financially we are in the mix with the other mid table also rans. Only three clubs are markedly weaker, five markedly stronger and the other 12 all much of a muchness with wages budgets ranging from £74 to £100m.

8th huh? imagined or, out of character, based on something?

Talk of top 4 is bordering on delusional. Our wages budget is one third of the top 4 and below Everton, Leicester, West Ham, Stoke, Sunderland and WBA. Anything above 13th is out performing. http://www.totalsportek.com/money/english-premier-league-wage-bills-club-by-club/

The NY Post is a conservative Murdoch owned paper.

It's a decent point well argued, although I don't necessarily agree with it. Corbyn doing well in the election has really complicated things and changed the maths. You could end up with the Tory and labour leadership allied on leaving the SM but being challenged by a cross party alliance of their own backbenchers.

When you are in Government it is - because you are inevitably heading for a car crash and failure. When you are in opposition and don't have to actually deliver on your motherhood and apple pie promises, its actually quite tactically smart.

There is a connection, but not a direct connection - there are too many other factors at work like savings ratio, exchange rate, interest rates, oil price, demand in global economy. If they were directly linked inflation would have been largely negative over the past years.

Sam Allardyce? Quite a range from player, club manager and England manager. Bit of history to the game for your 15 to read about whilst still being reasonably contemporary. Got good reviews https://www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Sam-My-Autobiography-Allardyce/dp/1472232674

£0? The Barnett Formula was adopted by Margaret Thatcher.

When Radhi Jaïdi was appointed he had a brief to bring in North African young players. Dont know if that is still the case.
