I suspect that deep down, as much as want Palace to be relegated, and you want us to stay down, both sets of fans would love both teams to be in the same division (ideally the Prem).

Has the Bournemouth BUBBLE burst ?

Agreed. Just as long as the rivalry stays like that, rather than descending into physical violence.
Should we be drawn against Albion in the League Cup (if both clubs progress of course) or later in the FA Cup we might see if that hope is born out by experience. I must admit I'm fed up with us playing Southampton so often!

He's bothered to turn up for dinner at your place and you haven't even cooked his peas?!!!
Just wondered, do Albion pay 100% of Muzza's salary? Or do Buremouth still have to top it up?
Well no, they would roll around the plate better. And at the moment it would be a salad too.

Maybe. The PL is so devoid of interesting fixtures I guess at least 2 would be covered each season.
I find that hard to believe.

They're going down next season and I can't wait to see Smug Eddie's face when they do.
Looking forward to watching Southampton struggle at the bottom with them too.

I wonder how long till we're spending 12 million on back-ups and 20+ million on young players (good though both are).
If we came 16th and then top half I doubt many would be disappointed.

Shame it wasn't achieved at the expense of other teams who didn't cheat wasn't it?
Yes, I agree with your opinion, the shame is really that the punishment meted out did not have the effect that discouraged perpetrators from following this route. Any loss in operating costs should be discouraged but as we know it would be impossible to achieve what we have achieved this season had we operated at break even so have to make a loss to gain success but we hopefully have done this within the rules set out. The loss incurred by Bournemouth to gain their success was taking the piss out of the rules as set out by the authorities and trying to defend/justify their action by some of their supporters is also piss taking.

Yes, I remember some of their fans on here arguing vociferously in their promotion season that they had not in any way broken the rules. I believe we have not broken any rules but we'd need to curtail spending in the next couple of years to comply with ffp. Ffp is an absolute joke as in previous years we've reigned spending in at our own expense whilst the likes of Bournemouth, Leicester and QPR have cheated their way up.
