77 years of hurt. All gone.:notworthy::drinkup:

[Oggwyn Trench]

Not rubbing it in to your relegated friends are you:whistle:

[Crossste]

Forgot that bit. But i,m not one to rub it in. <Laughing up sleeve smilie>

Always said if i wasn,t a Lancastrian being a Tyke would be my second choice.

They have such nice neighbours.

Hang on, first time since 1934 and they beat Somerset to win this, I dare say a head to head would produce an entirely different result:p

& no I don't want a load of pre war results to prove who's best, please

Don't they say Yorkshire's ok apart from the neighbours, :D


& I'm not marrying ROBCamra to end this War of the Roses :eek:and I don't think A&H would think any different, don't know about Spinko of course he's a funny lad :confused:.

Spare a thought for the poor Somerset fans here!

Year after year we do the gentlemanly thing and allow someone else to win everything. In this case we just showed that we weren't bitter about Lancashires utter capitulation on the final day last year to 11-3 against Notts that cost Somerset the chance of their first Championship title ever.

Still it is just not cricket to actually win things which is why we have kindly handed the last 5 one day titles to:-
Surrey
Leicestershire
Warwickshire
Hampshire
Sussex

And narrowly missed out on the championship to:-
Durham
Nottinghamshire
Lancashire

It would be boring if all those had been won by Somerset after all, so it was good of us to spread the glory among 8 other teams. Grrrr. Bitter? Me? Hell yes!
