If only they'd let us long term European Expats vote none of this would have happened. Hope they correct that if there's another referendum. It affects us more than most and yet we had no say. Obviously for just UK issues it's nothing to do with us as a rule but in European Issues it is.

Probably. I can see no Brexit at all being the favourite from there on. Suits me. Think I can sue someone for the thousands that they've cost me with their nonsense and incompetence?

And yet we spent, what 18 million or so, on a supposed CB who can't get a game.

What hiring yet another manager who seems to have proved that the gulf between the Championship and the Premier League is far too wide for many. Fulham have spent a King's Ransom on a team that seemed the bee's nut at the lower level. So something must be basically wrong with the manager's ability in the PL surely.

But Watford missed chances as well. Particularly Delofeu. At the end of the day we did win but the ref said we didn't.

Probably explains the empty seats then.

Doubt if you'd notice the difference anyway. A total non-entity.

We don't have enough money nor enough status to be anything other than average. Today's 16 million £ player is yesterday's free transfer. We could change anything you like but until we can get better than average players we'll be scrubbing about with the win some, lose more also rans. That said, we'll not go down because there are 3 teams worse than us. Just as there were last season.

Simple, get Superman to turn the world back until February 2014 and take a different path in time.

But compared to the sums spent by Chelsea,Liverpool, City, United and Arsenal this is just peanuts really. Yesterday just showed the difference in class between what you get for 13 million and what you get for 80 million.

Most of them should have been in Chelsea's favour anyway so that's a plus for us right !

Does Hojbjerg ever have a best game ? I still don't see what people see in him, never have, probably never will.

Well I thought he was regarded as an excellent signing back in 2015. Not sure he was injured at that time. Hadn't he been taking a few wickets for Essex ? Obviously a major let down since though.

Not on TV apparently.

Anyway, Hants have preserved their first division status so all of the rest just doesn't matter. Roll on next season. Perhaps we'll have a bit more luck with our overseas player. Steyn did a good job a few times, Amla was a bit of a waste of an oversea player spot really and I think Munro had one good game in total. Who knows where we are with Rossouw for next season , think he's contracted to us for one more season but whether he'll be here remains to be seen.

Not that it really matters anyway but a draw will give us a better chance of finishing 4th instead of 5th or 6th. Leaves Yorks with something to do in their last game so they'd be miffed if there's wind and wuthering tomorrow. Yorks miffed! bring on the rain then.

Collectively they look dreadful, if one of them gets a few the other 2 fail dismally. Same goes for Northeast, one decent knock 3 bad ones follow. A bit disappointed in him myself, will need to do far better next season. What we really want is a good old Bopara type, always seems to get runs when Essex need them. Didn't realise he's only 33, been around for ever seemingly.

And yet another batting debacle. Good job it doesn't matter, well it probably does to Lancashire, who'll no doubt be relegated by tomorrow evening.

Perhaps, but for me the Championship, 50 over Gillette type and the 40 over Sunday League was the better structure. No 1 day only players in those days. Blokes signed for the season at least and played the majority of games. I do not like T20, it just encourages slogging and depresses bowlers. Anyway back to the present. Hants have just lost 3 quick wickets and are a royal 33/3. Good job we don't need much from this game.

So Worcs win the T20 and get relegated whereas Surrey who had a pretty poor short format season won the Championship with 2 games to spare. T20, whilst bringing in casual spectators, is detrimental to real cricket.

Perhaps they have read Golding's The Spire and wanted to see it for themselves. In the good old (or not so much) days they'd have gotten the UK equivalents of Phillip and Elizabeth to do the job.

Well I thought I was pointing out how well we've done since the end of the T20 in winning 3 out of our 4 matches and being in a good position barring some extraordinary event or other.

As someone pointed out earlier, when you have really fast bowlers on a pitch that's not entirely dead, you're likely to see a few wickets fall when batsmen insist on trying their slogfest shots at inopportune moments..The old clan like Trescothick and Adams, who know what 4 day batting is about, seemed to manage fairly well.

Well yes, if they start handing out deductions for good bowling and shîte batting there's always a chance I suppose. As I said earlier Hants and Somerset both have recent previous of awful batting, chasing wild balls down the leg side, reckless driving and offering no shot to good balls.

So, got there in the end without too much wobbling and picked up another 16 points. Probably enough to see us staying up unless we go the other 2 games without getting 10 points and even then it would need some freakish results to send us down..
