Unless you've been lucky enough to be living on Mars for the last six month, then you will be aware that there is a referendum coming up to decide on whether Britain remains a member of the European Union.

While this is an important decision, we are frankly bored of the scaremongering and general claptrap that has been coming out of both sides of the argument. So bored in fact that we have come up with our own vote on the question of Britain v EU - namely, if we go back to the turn of the century and select a team of British players to take on a team of players from the EU, who would come out on top?

16 of the EU's member states are represented in one of the teams while we've given equal weighting to all four parts of the United Kingdom with each having four representatives on Team Britain, even though those has meant we've had to wheel out Joe Dolan (remember him? Exactly).

You won't find any talks about how World War III will kick off if we leave or of how the NHS will go down the swanny and we'll all be speaking Polish or Czech if we stay (although being able to chat up Jiri Skalak's missus could be considered a huge positive). Just simple facts as we ask you who would win this meeting of 32 of the finest and not-so-finest Albion players of the last 16 years - Team Britain or Team EU? You can cast your vote at the bottom of the ballot paper.

Team Britain		Team EU
	Goalkeeper - Mark Walton Wales Miserable goalkeeper who liked shouting. For someone so fat, he wasn't actually that bad.		Goalkeeper - Tomasz Kusczcak Poland Had two great seasons before being released. Some say the best keeper we had. Oscar didn't think so.
	Right back - Paul Watson England Best set piece taker in the world. He could pick out Bobby Zamora's head in a crowd of a million people.		Right back - Bruno Spain Our reigning WAB Player of the Season. His head is attached upside down but he remains a cult hero.
	Centre back - Gordon Greer Scotland A passionate Scot. One of the best defenders and club captains in the Albion's history.		Centre back - Vitalijs Maksimenko Latvia Young defender played a few times at left back despite apparently being a centre half. He wasn't very good.
	Centre back - Danny Cullip England A passionate Englishman. One of the best defenders and club captains in the Albion's history.		Centre back - Ivar Ingimarsson Iceland Brilliant defender who was superb in 2003. Naturally that meant he went to Reading rather than Withdean.
	Left back - Wayne Bridge England Rampaging left back spent one season on loan and was absolute class. Has a fit wife as well.		Left back - Stephen Ward Republic of Ireland Bridge's replacement at left back was equally as good. He took our WAB Player of the Season award in 2014.
	Right midfield - Paddy McCourt Northern Ireland Mercurial midfielder who liked a slow and skilful dribble almost as much as he liked a drink.		Right wing - Anthony Knockaert France Needs no introduction. He hasn't made a bad start to his Albion career now, has he?
	Centre midfield - Liam Bridcutt Scotland Arrived at Withdean as a nobody, left The Amex as a full Scotland international. Not done much since.		Centre midfield - Radostin Kishishev Bulgaria Veteran midfielder was the calming influence in the League One title winning side.
	Centre midfield - Andrew Crofts Wales Battling midfielder. One of the clubs best players until his body made of chocolate gave way.		Centre midfield - Joao Teixeira Portugal Looked a class act during his season long loan despite the fact he was surrounded by utter dross.
	Left midfield - Nathan Jones Wales The Rhonda Valley Wizard. Loved a step over, scoring worldies and screaming in a high pitched manner.		Left midfield - Jiri Skalak Czech Republic Looks can be deceiving - he may look like a homeless man but his assist record is something else.
	Striker - Glenn Murray England Top scorer in the League One title team. Let go after Poyet deemed him not worth the money he wanted.		Sub - Ashley Barnes Austria Don't let the lack of intellect or the west country accent fool you - he has played for Austria Under 20s.
	Striker - Craig Mackail-Smith Scotland Murray's replacement & the Albion's record signing. Scored the old goal & ran around. A lot.		Striker - Lorenzo Pinamonte Italy Scored a couple in 1999-00, then went to Brentford. His replacement? A certain Bobby Zamora.
	Sub - Alan Blayney Northern Ireland Two loan spells at Withdean. Made some good saves. More impressive was how shiny his head was.		Sub - Peter Brezovan Slovakia Giant goalkeeper, loved saving penalties and was bloody good looking to boot.
	Sub - Aaron Hughes Northern Ireland One of David Burke's better pointless signings. Played about five times until not even Hyypia would pick him.		Sub - Danny Holla Netherlands Started off promisingly, then it all went a bit downhill. May or may not still be at the club. Nobody seems to know.
	Sub - Joe Dolan Northern Ireland The only other Northern Irishman we could think of to take their quota up to four. Three games. All forgotten.		Sub - Alexis Nicolas Cyprus See above description of Holla, minus the may still be at the club bit. He definitely is no longer with us.
	Sub - Adam Virgo Scotland Still struggling as to why Celtic paid £1.5m for him. Can play anywhere. Even right wing accoring to Adams.		Sub - Dirk Lehmann Germany Managed six games before everyone realised he was rubbish. Looked like a porn star and played like one too.
	Sub - Craig Davies Wales Better known as Barn Door. Gave one of the worst individual performances in history away at McDons.		Striker - Torbjorn Agdestein Norway Turned the game away at Peterborough once. Looked good but it clearly went wrong somewhere.
