So why should there be promotion but no relegation? Other than the fact that we're top and were looking increasingly likely to go up? If there's no relegation there should be no promotion either. Simple as that. Still keen?

Hence why I did an xPPG table. The PPG (absolute known) takes on much more weight than the x (unknown but highly probable) which gives a minor adjustment to it factoring in the likely outcomes. But the 'known' also includes that some teams are down the bottom and struggling and others are at...

Yes, it been mentioned on here numerous times. You indefinitely postpone next season to finish this one. If we then have time to play next season in a shortened time frame great. If not it gets cancelled and we start with 2021/22. If it was written in the rules of the game that this was how a...

And if CCFC were the team sitting a point off a promotion place with a much easier run in would you be so keen to say it was 'irrelevant' then?

Is it wise to use a term associated to a Jewish Shakespearean character?

Of course it's not ideal. What if you've got only a slightly lower PPG than someone else but you've got loads of teams at the bottom of the league to play while another has the top teams? You've probably done better than them up to this point because you've got almost as many points having...

But what rule states the season should be finished early and final placings decided on PPG? Or indeed the table is called as stands? Or that the season should be voided by a certain date? It's not in there. They can't apply a rule that doesn't exist. Hence why it's a litigation nightmare as...

Ask Grendel - he's the furlough expert.... *but as someone said, an employer can choose to top up the wages if they want. They're not obliged to but they aren't banned from doing it either.. Plus if an employee earns more than the £2.5k per month the employer can choose to top it up to as much...

So I assume therefore you want ambulances, police and fire services to be removed from public funding and run solely on donations from the public and manned by volunteers like the RNLI, mountain rescue and air ambulance are?

Right, got bored today and crunched some numbers. If we finish PPG then Wycombe shoot up from outside the playoffs into third, which if they did promotion without play-offs as some are calling for they go up. Do you think Oxford will be happy with that, currently in third? Or indeed Portsmouth...

And why would they pay out at this time of uncertainty? Do you think they'll be happy having one, possibly two, seasons messed around and not finished properly? Would massively harm the product, potentially viewing figures and thus their VFM. I'd expect them to be putting in a court case to...

Why would you be fucking around with fiddly electrics if you're visually impaired?

Yep, it's a big problem and it's not going away. Neither with give leeway to the other to fight the bigger 'enemy'. They seem so diametrically opposed the two should split, but they can't do that as it will just guarantee Tory govt virtually in perpetuity. We've already got left vote split...

Doesn't Rory Stewart speak loads of languages?

Shouldn't require the 'if needed' - of course they're bloody needed! Still way less than halfway towards their target but they have got a couple of weeks left to reach it.

Latin is useful for things like law and parliament. But they only use it due to a. a bit of tradition and b. puts 'normal' people off trying to elbow their way into a system they like having control of. Of course the simple way to ensure people understand (and arguably thus respect) the law is...

Tell that to the people that struggle to fundraise enough to keep them afloat (pun unintended). Wouldn't stop them getting extra donations in as well. You make them part of the emergency infrastructure so people don't question it. Fire, police, ambulances etc also see drastic funding cuts during...

As I've later qualified it is more to do with positions of power rather than political leaning BUT it has spread from a right-thinking mentality which has largely been based on privilege and class. "I'm higher class than you so I therefore must be right. And if I'm right I have nothing to say...

Although it would make for more complex maths a 'fairer' way rather than PPG is to add in a multiplier based on the difference in league table position for the remaining fixtures to take into account different run ins and thus the likelihood of picking up points. So for example lets say you're...

Even more reason to carry on. What you're suggesting is call this season using criteria that will not give an accurate reflection of what may happen over the remaining games, then get next season affected in the same way as we go in and out of lockdown. Like when Marge has a go at Homer for...
