  1. No we don't. There is a net cost which is much less than the amount that we spend in foreign aid. But the point is that it is unrealistic to expect that we would get access to the EU markets for free if we were to vote to leave. In practice the cost is likely to be similar to what it is now. Plus the other aspects such as free movement of labour.
  2. Norway has to pay a fee for access and has to accept the same free movement of labour.
  3. You don't really think that we would get free access to the EU markets for free, do you?
  4. As far as I know Canada has never been a state of the USA.
  5. Stricken
  6. If you buy and sell in Euros there is no volatility. And what the hell are these 'EU rules' that hamper our trade elsewhere? If we leave the EU do you really believe that trading with them will not be more difficult and that we would have the same free access that we have at the moment? Dream on...
  7. Every FA Cup tie since 2005, or something.
  8. Very well put. I love the way that some have argued that we shall just 'increase our trade with the rest of the world'. If it were that easy we would be doing it already and we shall face increased competition from our former trading partners. We suffer from high transport costs and a volatile currency that nobody els uses or wants any more.
  9. And nobody knows which two weeks are going to be our winter. They could shut down for January and then it could freeze and snow all February.
  10. All very true. This is why players have historically always done well when played in their club pairs.
  11. For our children's and grandchildren's sake I can only hope that you will be staggered.
  12. My views are firmly in the 'stay' camp despite what the politicians think, but I wouldn't trust the opinions of either of these two clowns on anything.
  13. From what I've read support for staying in gets much higher as the age of those questioned gets lower. It seems that the youngsters see their future as part of the EU.
  14. And much better football...
  15. There's a simple solution to all this messing around with dates. Just hold all the Europa League games on a Wednesday. Football shouldn't be played on Thursday's. It's not natural and only ever used to happen with multiple FA Cup replays which are no longer with us.
  16. More about differences in upbringing, cultural background and heritage, and moral standards and values than just being an immigrant.
  17. Unless you played for Man Utd.
  18. Please don't, I'm starting to cry
  19. It was also only two points for a win.
  20. It's the first time that I can remember. I can recall the days when there were three games over the weekend and it was always reckoned that these would settle the relegation issues.
  21. Good idea. I hate international weekends.
  22. Of course there's no guarantee that we shall continue to have 4th spot as a CL place forever.
  23. The big clubs hate it and the small clubs love it. It's called the FA Cup because every club in the country takes part in it. Otherwise they might as well call it the Big Knob's Cup.
  24. Nobody falls to the ground in slow motion in real life. It's not natural.
  25. But not in 3D. Slomo doesn't clarify the matter, it distorts the physics of the movement.
