Yeah but considering their club's 479 years of history, that's quite a remarkable record really.
Did you know The original plans for their, as yet unfinished, 'new' stand, has a thatched roof. . . It was environmentally friendly by design as it didn't require the burning of witches to fire clay Tiles.

I see Trossard and Bissouma both scored and Buenonotte assisted. Probably worth lumping on Caicedo to score against Wolves tomorrow.

I wonder if there's a similar thread on a Watford forum based on our goalscorers today?

If Dyche keeps Everton up he's a genius

They were on par with sheff United last season yesterday.
I think they'll turn it around and finish lower mid table again. Dyche is wily enough and we're only two games in, there's always a team who starts slow and recovers and a team that starts well but drops.

Disappointingly Fulham seem to be making good transfer moves now, I thought they might be in trouble. Would be good to get rid of the team we never beat. Villa too, but that's just unrealistic.

There are many on here who wouldn't piss on Leeds if they were on fire, but if they got promoted at Fulham's expense, that's 4-6 more points a season for us.

They don't have any more money to bring anyone in, so I'm not sure how they can improve drastically, plus they lost Onana who was a key player for them at times.

I rate Dyche highly, I just can't see him doing it.

They don't have the 3 teams coming up looking completely clueless either.

It amazes me just how Bournemouth manage to compete at the top table.
Why? If we can, they can too. The main thing holding them back is the small stadium but we know that doesnt impact PL income that much anymore.

We have similar, predominantly lower league histories. We both have rich owners willing to invest both in players and club infrastructure. We both have big hinterlands to draw upon for support. Bournemouth and Brighton have a lot of similarities, I don't hold onto any snobbery about them. They could finish top half this season.

It's not the players, it's the club. They were quite good when we had them. They broke 'em with their scattergun squad management

Cuckoo just won the Euros with Spain, and was one of the best left backs. Chelsea simply break everything.
