Just a thought, are Middlesbrough in Yorkshire? If so we will have to get them out next season.

I don't think they are

(waits to be corrected

Durham perhaps ?

The answer is - Here

Technically there is only one team left in the prem from Lancashire since Bolton and The 2 Manchesters are in Greater Manchester and the 2 Liverpools are in Merseyside leaving Blackburn.

Teeside - ask Paulyoung666, when you've stopped fighting over Viduka

<edit> actually I'm very confused now, I looked at Julian's link & went off to try to find a few others, the conclusion I came to is that the way the 'counties' have been mucked about with makes finding the correct information very hard.

- round here we went from Lincolnshire to Humberside & then to North East Lincolnshire, although the Police & Fire Services are still Humberside

- so Julian's link looks like the answer, unless any one has any other info - Paulyoung666, Handyman, Bopdude, where are you, help

Seeing as though it's Sunday night and I'm in a good mood, the Boro can have Smith and Robbie Savage, can't say fairer that that

I had just finished my edit & there you were

Thanks Paul

- and just to say Grimsby Town still could go down, even after winning their last home game, today. Having the worst goal difference doesn't help us much here

Wow, Leeds finally did go down. Shame but a lesson for clubs who think they can do a Man united and buy a team. Man united still have a good manager and the abitly to spend. Arsenal have spent the least out of the top 7 teams in the premiership over the last few years and they won. Chelsea spent millions upon millions and they didn't. It takes more than money to win the title or in some cases a good manager with a eye to talent requires no money

Leeds tried to buy there way to the top and down they go.

Well the vast majority of people never wanted those stupid regional changes to council and municipal boundaries and names, so as far as I and the massive majority of people are concerned we have always lived in Lancashire, those six teams are still and always have been in Lancashire. The Lancashire County Cricket team play matches in Manchester & Liverpool.
That also means that historically Middlesbrough are in Yorkshire, no true Yorkshireman would ever recognise government imposed border tinkering, once a Tyke, always a Tyke.

I agree Jim. My wife comes from a town( the biggest one in Britain allegedly) which has been swallowed up by Greater Manchester - she is a Lancashire lass tho'

Don't think that matters either,

Perhaps we could put discussions about Leeds and football in the Non Sequitur thread.:pp

That would be "where in the UK", not "where in the world"

- and when did you get appointed as thread watcher ? - ask yourself this - given your track record in the forums so far - is upsetting mods a wise choice
