Dark Munster

JM won them the PL (at a canter) along with the League cup last season. Only a lunatic would sack him straight after that. It would be almost as nuts as sacking your manager the season after he'd won you the Champions' league and the FA Cup. No one would be that insane. Oh.

"It means that football supporters across the south could now be considered the most attractive in the UK." I beg to differ.

But with a happy ending.

Barring a monumental cock-up Hants will win tomorrow. Yorks are 300 odd runs ahead with one wicket remaining, and the weather forecast for Headingley looks great for tomorrow. Sussex must be nervous. I'd go out on a limb and say Hants are currently slight favourites to stay up.

No, we just had to match or beat Sussex's bonus points, which we did. The gamble against Yorks would've definitely been appropriate if we'd needed 2 wins, but clearly we didn't. Moreover a loss was worse than a draw, as we are now seeing. I think it all comes down to whether Yorks had a good chance of making the runs, or if we had a better chance of bowling them out. If the former it was a bad gamble, if the latter a good one. Bearing in mind Yorks are one of the best domestic teams ever I don't think it was a wise gamble, but clearly many disagree. Anyway, the real screw up was the first innings against Somerset. If we'd got 4 more batting points there then Sussex would need to win tomorrow (assuming we do beat Notts), regardless of the Yorks defeat.

Correct. If we'd taken the draw against Yorks and now end up beating Notts, then Sussex would need to beat Yorks instead of only needing a draw. But all easy in hindsight.

Indeed it was. He only had a split second to think about it. Lightning reflexes.

Just need one more and we won't have to worry about them doing a Tranmere.

He already ate that after the Midtjylland defeat.

267/8, wagging tail. Sussex 248 all out. It's not over yet, win this and Sussex lose and it's the great escape. It's the hope that kills you.

Hypo, what happened to Bearsy?

Well as we all know, not affording things has never been a problem for the DCFSBs.

Whatever happened to Bearsy?

Bullshit. They had 3 shots on target, 3 goals, one of which should've been disallowed from a blatant offside, and the other came from a cock up by Yoshida. Apart from the 2 goals Pelle hit the post, De Gea pulled off some brilliant saves, and JWP could've won us a penalty.

How about round X of PL matches? Just like we do for the cups.

Three relegations in four years, each aided by points deductions. The club are smiling in the hands of the Pompey Supporters Trust and looking up. That notion of a giant waking may have persuaded Cook to drop a division. A deal with Tesco over adjacent land has given the trust £1m for players and facilities.

Certainly is. Cheers for the link.

The first innings against Somerset was the final nail in the coffin. Get an extra 3 or 4 batting points there, and a desperate declaration today wouldn't have been necessary: instead get a couple more bowling points today, along with a draw, and we're looking at around an extra 10 or 11 points over the last 2 matches, and everything to play for in the final round of matches. Oh well, shit happens.

Don't they realise that we sold Morgan?
