What are some other ways to say: "I expected that to be the case."?

Question

I need to know other natural ways to say: 'I expected that (=what you just said) is the case.'

Example:

Jessy: Do you know who left that half-eaten sandwich on the table?

Edd: Robert did. I saw him eating there last night, and he was the last person to eat here.

Jessy: I expected that to be the case. This guy is so lazy!

Answer 1

You could consider

• I thought so.
• I thought as much.
• I figured.
• I figured as much.
• Figures.

You might even consider

• Typical!
• That's just like him!
• I'm not surprised.

Although these seem to suggest that you are not surprised, not so much that you expected it.
