    having sat at the top table as a top influencer with some of the best conditions in the club and still insulting our fellow members, once we have left, if we ever want to rejoin they're going to clobber us with all sorts of join the euro and other such conditions and at which point England will already be like Argentina and we'll just have to accept whatever they offer

    Oh Beansey, you still believe all that crap? We have always been in the 2nd division, despite paying premier league contributions.

      It was a simple question. Just tell us really in your own words what you think the dream is?

        if we've been in the second division that's because it was our choice

        as the Sun says, you gotta be in it to win it

        we should have got stuck in and lead instead of standing on the side and throwing stones all the time

        Milan.

            not my intention to pee on the Brexit persecution complex, just wanted to post this interesting report:

            https://inews.co.uk/explainers/chart...much-get-back/

            The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Austria and France have an even larger net contribution than the UK

                As long as it is able to remain a holding pen for cretins. Once they start escaping, it will be a different story.

                    UK GDP 2009-2015 +21%
                    Greece GDP 2009-2015 -41%

                    UK GNI 2009-2015 -0.5%
                    Greece GNI 2009-2015 -31%

                    Doesn't look too bad. OK, comparing the UK to Greece is a bit unfair, but it does demonstrate the scale of the problem facing the EU from just one of its members. We'll certainly be fooked when the dominoes start toppling, especially if we find ourselves liable for some of the bailout contribution.

                      Regardless of the outcome, whatever is left will declared as a success, the best possible deal (because it will be; we weren't able to get anything better) and a deal that will work for everyone (who haven't relocated their business).
