Bournemouth 4- Leicester 2 post match thread.

Not as ridiculous as when we flew from Birmingham to Manchester.... 

 

Can't fly from East Mid's due to our stupid commercial partnership with Birmingham Airport  

 

Although flying from EMA to Manchester would still be mental.

Bloody hell, what utter cvnts have we got pulling on the shirt these days.

Stuff like this being leaked shows again we've got some twats in the dressing room.

You have to feel sorry for the pampered fools having to sit on a coach for 5 hours with Claude Puel

Strange comment.

 

If we were heading to a league and cup treble then this is how it would start too (unless the start was another week).

I guess I can understand them preferring to fly - is it really much quicker though when you add in the drive to and from the airports and the waiting for the planes? - but it certainly shouldn't be aired to the press. Take it up with the management.

 

Away supporters are the salt of the earth.

I would imagine the players were more baffled than angry about not flying and Dorsett has exaggerated a bit to help sell the story. Anyway, we didn't lose because of travel arrangements, we lost because of poor lineup and tactics. The players should be moaning about that instead.

Yeah Dorsett loves sensationalising stuff, bloke's a prat.

To be fair to the players some of them aren’t even earning £50,000 per week. 

 

Least the club could do is fly them down to the game.

Sorted.

If you have chartered a private jet you can arrive, check in and be on the runway in twenty minutes.

Agree, not a fan of them airing internal matters like that. But yeah, with the amount of money the owners are worth, a plane down wouldn't cost a lot, was surprised they didn't fly down.

Apparently it wasn't the distance, nor the time it took to get there that upset the players.

 

It was Puel's insistence on the group singing "The Wheels On The Bus" the entire way, only stopping when he decided to get his arse out and moon adjacent vehicles from the coach window, then threatening to drop the players who didn't partake in a lad-like "wheeeeeeey" reaction.

Another reason why i just can’t be arsed to go and watch them much anymore, especially away.

Many modern day, top flight footballers are like spoilt children and about as far removed from

’the comment man’ as you could be.

Elite sport is fine margins. 

 

If a coach journey means a drop in just a couple of % due to prep then the difference in performance will be clear to see at this level. It would be a huge advantage to the other team.

If you lose though you have to rationalise what's actually contributed to a losing performance and not make mountains out of mole hills, just move on

Having just done a 12hr shift with no time for lunch, if it is true then it’s pathetic!! However, Me thinks a bit of Sky exaggeration (who knew!) is at play. You would have thought they’d run that on a news day without champions league buildup ?

[brucey]

Just me who thinks it's a bit odd Harry has deleted his 'false information' tweet and replaced it with a couple far less definitive emojis?

 

Either he's been told off by some PR people, or he's since found out that it's actually true

[z-layrex]

I think it's pretty sad that our own fans are believing this shit. I would remind you that the media are still pissed off that we made a mockery of them and their premier league and will do/say anything to bring us down.

[ozleicester]

To be fair.... 5 hours is a stupid (unnecessary) amount of time on a bus for pro sports people.

 

Either, plan the travel time better so that its a max 3 hours... or fly, we have the tools, just use them.
