Oh right, silly me, relegation fixation has set in....

But wouldn't any relegation bet without West Brom in it just be a gift to the bookies? West Brom can't catch West Ham so there is no sense in pretending otherwise, even by the crookies.

And now they're getting hit. Must be something to do with the atmospherics I suppose. Poor start for Hants again. Adams,Weatherly and Vince all gone again. Down to the South Africans now.

The basic difference being that, in the main, the others are poor sides with substandard players for the PL. We should be doing better but aren't. We should not be below Huddersfield or Bournemouth but we are. We have underperformed all season, before Pellegrino was sacked and after. We may still escape relegation but only on goal difference as likely as not.

Wow, that must be a crappy wicket at Chelmsford. Yorks all out for 50 in about 19 overs and now Essex are 2 for 2.

Notts at Trent Bridge today. Hope we bat well. Good start. Notts 39/3, Fidel 2 for 6. Abbott and Wood have conceded a few runs though. Still if that's what it takes to get early wickets. Spoke too soon. Edwards has just gone for 21 in an over.

Well yes and no. There was an article in Le Figaro yesterday saying that Juncker wants Begium to grant citizenship to all UK EU staff. Otherwise they'll have to fire them and presumably that would cost them a fair bit.

High note ? Perhaps but he's certainly going to want to go out without leaving a team that would have to go through the qualifying rounds of the Europa. If they beat Burnley the pressure would be less for the other games but if they don't I think they'd have to win both of the others to ensure that they finish 6th.

Oooh, I can see you getting some stick for that.. Not wrong though.

Big if though really. Arsenal are very poor defensively and may well get taken to the cleaners.

But 20 years would be about right wouldn't it? If, that is, they could get back into the Top flight in the next 3 or 4 years.

Football's Rip Van Winkle then.

I don't know any more. I'd think that if we can beat Swansea (I don't see us getting anything at Goodison) and just need a point at home on the last day, we'll get it, even against Citeh. There the World Cup effect might even do us a favour.

I'd think that any side with the same number or more points than Huddersfield but with a better GD is a poor bet for relegation. Just can't see Huddersfield getting any more points and at -29 GD already, 35 points and better than say -32 might be enough.

And create a platform to get 4 batting points. Although that took some serious hitting from Abbott in the end.

Don't really see that myself. In fact I see us with a better chance of getting a point against Citeh than I do of us beating Everton. They have become a pretty solid side, boring to their fans perhaps but solid. Unless he knows before the game that he'll be getting the boot BfS will as likely as not set them out as he did against Huddersfield and Newcastle...ie hard to beat..

Might depend how Arsenal get on against Burnley.

Game under way, dicey start for Hants, lost 2 wickets and scored at snail's pace. Then Abbott has come in and seems to be showing that you can show far too much respect to average bowlers. Anyway I'd guess we'll bat until the 110 overs are up and then let them have a stab, see if we can get a couple of bowling points.

I think Vlasic started against Huddersfield though. Different sort of player than Bolasie.

Any chance of play today ?

Indeed. They've got over their injury and managerial problems and now play basically the same side in each game. Hard to score against them of late.

Well, that's a bit silly. These blokes complain that they can't get women but if the go round crushing them with rental vans there'll be even less to go round right ?

Ferguson upset their senior players with his coaching methods, Unsworth let him do it.

Krueger....how the fark would he know what a good or bad football coach looks like. Probably learns from You Tube videos.

I can see us winning actually. At least that would give us a base of hoping to avoid relegation at Swansea.
