Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. After SIXTEEN penalties this season, and a stream of soft decisions in their favour, over 43 games, lovely Eddie claims their is a CONSPIRACY against them, because they finally get denied one.
Apparently the refs have secretly met up, counted how many penalties they've had, and decreed that Callum Wilson is not allowed any more.

Careful now Eddie. Don't let the lovely facade slip, under the pressure.

No way on earth that Bournemouth will fluff it now. They have two easy games left against teams with nothing to play for. I know Sheffield Wednesday didn't either, but they seem to have the Indian Sign over Lovely Eddie, as I believe they beat them twice last season.

Incidentally, isn't it a sign of just how dire we must have been this season that teams like Wednesday are comfortably mid table? Arguably the most uninspiring team in the entire league, with a chronic lack of goals in them, and not a single player you'd pay to watch. Yet they're sat up there, with no worries whatsoever, cheerily planning their fancy dress outfits for their final game in May. It really doesn't seem to take much to get by in this division. Dismal then, that we haven't even been able to reach those sort of dizzy heights.

It would be lovely for the above to be an idiotic rant.

 

[GoingUp]

Not really, Wimbledon in the 80s, Wigan also and recently palace did it with 12000 paying punters and giving seats away for free. Success in football is down to the players. A small support should be a handicap because they should have less money. Butr we have a large support but still are not cash rich in the transfer market for various reasons. Also its sport and a group of players can be brought together and they form a good team despite them costing no money due to good managers. Never happens at Brighton but doesnt surprise me.

Still, its always unlikely to see that club in the top flight, especially in this day and age. They where not long ago in alot lower divisions, it gives hope for us.

He falls over in the box more easily than Winifred.

Watford have an easy match on Saturday so 3 points to them and the others leaves Bournemouth chasing the win at Bolton on Monday night knowing that it could be all over if they don't win. Pressure does funny things to players and none of them have been in such a position as this before

Don't get me started ....the game is at Bournemouth & a few of us have already booked & paid ( non-refundable) for the trip down on Saturday ,& return on Sunday for a match that has now been switched to ******* Monday.

As for the game, the mighty Wanderers fought back twice & got a deserved draw at Brentford on Saturday, & won the previous away game 3-0 at Cardiff, so though Bournemouth are clearly favourites, especially if they score early, it might not be a walkover.

Sky f*cked you over for another game this season - Norwich was it

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I don't see Bournemouth bottling this to be honest. They've shown resilience all season, being able to come from behind frequently. It would be ironic if we somehow stop Watford from winning and help them over the line.

 

[Bolton va va]

Yes...at Norwich by Sky, at Millwall by the police, & we've had other away night matches at Boro, Ipswich, Flum & Charlton making away travel hard work for us this season. To be fair, we got plenty warning of any changes for those games but for Bournemouth we only got about a month's notice by which time arrangements had already been made !!

Ok, next on the agenda, ah yes, Callum Wilson, the Bournemouth striker. Are we all in agreement that he's had more than his share of penalties this season? Ok, motion passed, no more penalties for Callum. Next up, giving the yellow card - it's been noted this hasn't been done with enough gusto in recent seasons...

Apart from two seasons ago when they got promoted from L1...

Congratulations to Bournemouth for their victory later today, and promotion to the Premier League.


All we can ask is to learn some lessons from them about how it is done.

 

[jimbob5]

could be wrong but Bolton can be big party poopers. Anyway wheel sea!

 

[Triggaaar]

I'm pleased for Tommy.

I rather hope they're not - if they are Middlesbrough could be in the mood to get to double figures on Saturday! A B'mff win, and hopefully they'll just take a gentle stroll, making sure they've got plenty of puff left for the play-offs.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

If Bmuff win, how long after the final whistle will redknapp take credit?
