Get them down. Bit harsh TBH. Mid-table in the PL for a team like Bournemouth for a number of years is some achievement. Don't honestly think they are capable of any higher, performing at their limits. And they play the 'right' way and for all Eddie Howe looks a school prefect I like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, you're right, League would be more interesting with some of the old faces that have languished back, get some teams up like Leeds Charlton dare I say it Forest, Coventry, Sheff Weds back to PL!

How are they minnows though? If they have more cash than a more "historic" club (let's say Sheffield Wednesday in this example) wouldn't that make Wednesday the underdog?

Wait until Birmingham and Leeds are back in the Premier and give you a reason to hate teams. @The Horse's Mouth the lack of "triggering" is my issue with them, they're just there. They evoke no emotion and are never really in danger, such a dull club 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth this isn't a go at Bournemouth (although I don't like their players) but I just find them forgettable and I've no idea why they get such a vast amount of praise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 20 September 2019 Share Posted 20 September 2019 bournemouth are genuinely rubbish and all their players sound like football manager regens. they're in the top 10 highest spending clubs in the whole of europe since their promotion, but people still reckon cos their manager looks like the kid who goes to the staff room at dinner in school they're a fairytale. hope they go back to collecting 50ps in buckets to survive sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the idea they are minnows is an illusion, but I think the praise is because they've always tried to play attacking football despite having crap players (when they just came up anyway). And when you have teams like Newcastle, Everton and West Ham who think they are massive because of their history despite being basically shit for years a team like Bournemouth is a breath of fresh air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collymore Posted 20 September 2019 Share Posted 20 September 2019 (edited) Bournemouth's last 4 Premier League games have finished 3-1. That's odds of 100,000/1 with bookies so probably closer to 1 million/1 in reality. Although they only won 50% of them So half a pattern!

Super_horns Posted 20 September 2019 Share Posted 20 September 2019 Southampton seem to be as inconsistent as ever! Win one week then lose the next. Not a big fan of Bournemouth but credit to Howe and co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 20 September 2019 Share Posted 20 September 2019 I actually like Bournemouth and Howe. They play good football and are very entertaining in their approach. They have a team even younger than ours who are only going to get better. You just know Howe is going to manage England one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth are Howe are right for each other and I'd be surprised if Howe ever manages one of the so called big six teams. But of course Howe will manage England one day. He's perfect for England. Like Southgate he's squeaky clean and says exactly what the FA want him to say. I can't think of any other reason he'd be good enough though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibe & Solanke were Liverpool reserve players and have shown nothing since they joined Bournemouth to suggest they were worth half of what they paid for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
