[Bozza]

In the same way 1-2 games was a bit early to be calling for everyone to be sacked..........

Naturally.

(Although I don't recall reading that anywhere)

The last time we beat them was New Years Day 2008, with a hat-trick from Alex Revell.

Fond memories of that team but it shows how far we have come!

 

[We're the Stripes]

Ooof. That midfield..[emoji15]

Indeed. We've come a long way since then. Ironically though we actually played pretty well that night and scored a couple of nice goals, certainly didn't deserve to lose.

 

[The Gem]

I do wish our Manager would talk more about us in the notes, Smug Howe is all about his team, Christ is also all about Smug's team. F*ck them Chris..

Big us up a bit man !!

Then we sold him the next morning!

Two of the most memorable must have been the gaff by Henderson to drop the ball to give them a late goal plus the pitch invasion from behind the goal in protest at Bellotti etc.

My main memory of playing Bournemouth is the 35,000 crowd at the Goldstone in 71-72. In my favourite location near the south end of the west stand, but stuck right near the back. Could hardly see a thing!

60,000!

This will surely bag us three points tonight.

Whenever I manage to wangle a work from home day on a weekday match we lose. Today i'm working from home. Sorry lads.

You absolute roaster. You should have declined to shirk from home and gone into the office.

Although, it's nice to have a scapegoat lined-up early. Good job.

Friday night (actually Friday in general) is part of the weekend so it doesn't count. Fortunately for you.

It's a Friday, you're "working" from home and the football's on = weekend. [emoji106]
