[Albion] Bournemouth - The table does not lie!
- Thread starter Hugo Rune
- Start date
And Kluivert has a foot like a traction engine.
Apparently the rivalry started 55 years ago.

Surely 53, when we beat Ted Macdougal and co to promotion from div 3 in 1972?
I was quoting a post by @Weststander
It was 73 I remember best. The 0-2 to Machin, Macdougal et al.

The one negative that many may have not seen last night was our old boy Tommy Elphick being a right pain on their bench. Up and down and in the 4th officials face an awful lot about very little!
Great thread and post.
Have to say I can’t stand them, but best team I’ve seen at The Amex this season, to get 6 points is a great achievement on our part
It’s the Bournemouth way…
Great player, but we made it easy for him by showing him on to his stronger foot.
Good strike nonetheless
I can't remember the last time I was so worried EVERY time the opposition got the ball. Even when Kepa had it! (He was great at the quick release, and setting up Kerkes, etc). And Iraola is very impressive. Imagine the post-match interview if Smug Eddie was still their manager!
Astonishing that people are still moaning at the ref. He made a few mistakes, but not many. Meanwhile he managed to let a very physical game flow while retaining complete control of the players. I'm calling it as one of the best refereeing performances of the season at the Amex.

Not forgetting giving us a penalty that we'd be up in arms about.

I can't be the only one to not really care anything much about Bournemouth can I? I disliked them intensely in Smug Eddie's days but that was mostly down to him and some poor officiating at Withdean and Falmer. However I have never once met a Bournemouth fan and from my part of Sussex, Bournemouth is actually 2 miles further on the quickest route than Oxford. Meh.
They are a great team atm and maybe deserved a draw last night.

That and all their coaches running out in unison to clap every header or attack in that "I'm leaning forwards to show how much it matters, but only forced onto my feet because what you did was so sublime" again and again. Knobs.
Thought he was good, he did book Semenyo about three fouls too late but also let JPvH & Lamptey off a few so I suppose he just kept a high bar for a card which is no bad thing.
Plucky were very good second half, but could have been 3-0 down going into half time. Not sure about best team to come to the Amex this season. Liverpool in the cup were more impressive and unfortunately Palace did an absolute job on us before Christmas…
We've had history with them for over 50 years. They're in the same bin as Reading and to a lesser extent, Luton and Swindon.
I don't care how good we were, they were or the game was, I can guarantee you that the magnanimous posts would not be flowing on here if we'd lost that game. I wouldn't mind betting their forums are full of bitter, disparaging comments towards us.

And we gave him two defenders to show him inside. Very generous of us.
And yes it was a good strike

Spot on, oliver is one of the best refs around and I thought did a great job in terms of not stifling the game and trying to play advantage.
When people say we would be up in arms if the pen we got was given against us, I disagree. The only anger should be directed at the defender for his awful push on Pedro leaving Kepa with no chance
‘Destroyed’ is stretching it. The difference was 0.9, and almost all of that is the penalty.
All very true, but…….
Until we can shake off the ‘teams like’ tag, my grudging admiration can only stretch as far as ‘plucky’.
