Six of my mates are in fvcking Walkabout judging from facebook.

[Unabomber]

Is that why i can police sirens? 

You can police sirens? Very impressive.

[Voll Blau]

Is that why i can hear police sirens? 

 

Yeah, they're all coppers.

[Out Foxed]

[Dan]

Hahahahahaha. We're actually doing this aren't we. What a class day.

[Leicesterpool]

Anyone sticking around in Bournemouth tomorrow, here till monday myself.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

I was in Sofia Airport, Bulgaria last night, another Leicester fan asked me the score early on. Was reading the Live Text waiting to board and couldn't believe my luck when it flashed up Super Kev scored!

 

Clocked the Leicester fan shortly after on the plane and we both nodded and said "Kevin Phillips!" Was it anyone on here?

[Leicesterpool]

Just to mention that horrible incident i seen at the match yesterday, just after kick off a disabled supporter was going down the steps in the stand, as you can the supporter was already struggling to walk down as it is, until some yob at the end of a row was sniggering at the bloke with his mates and too make it worse one even stuck his foot out, causing the poor guy trip! luckily his helper was right in front of him and so instead of falling onto the steps he fell onto his helpers back. Following this the mob were laughing and sniggering, the helper of course as you can imagine wasn't happy about this reported them to a steward who looked as if he didn't give a fook!

 

Again disgusting behaviour! and from our own supporters aswell!

[bovril]

I was lying in bed last night and thoughts turned to the Watford game. And as I was lying there I thought.... 10 league wins in a row.... Leicester City.... 10 in a row...Leicester....10 in a bloody row.... and it was a genuine Bill and Ted 'woohhhhh' moment.

[kbg]

Hi ho.

 

Its me again, never one to run away after a defeat.

 

 

Thought I'd post the report from one of our fans on our forum.

 

Generally a good unbiased bloke who reads the game well.

 

 

Veteran Fox steals the prize...........

Leicester's record breaking winning run stretched to nine in a row but they will consider themselves fortunate to escape Dean Court with three points. Lee Camp's outstanding display and some stout defending kept them at bay but a controversial 80th minute header from veteran hit-man Kevin Phillips was deemed by the linesman to have crossed the line.

Eddie rang some surprise changes from the team that beat Huddersfield. Pugh and Ritchie were rested allowing Rantie a start up front and Fraser a return. Hart continued to deputise for the injured Daniels.

The home team started with some measured football and Surman flashed a 25 yarder over the crossbar but it didn't take Leicester long to claim the ascendancy. This mainly took the form of a sea of corners, their height advantage keeping the ball in our box for long periods with us hammering it anywhere to get rid. Francis in particular was jittery and we survived the onslaught mainly due to Camp's fantastic block from Dyer.

Bournemouth were playing on the break but were foiled time and time by the immense Morgan. Only once was he beaten, by Ranties pace, but the cross was cleared. Too often though our breaks were thwarted by our inability to get men forwards or the final pass being under or over hit - normally by Arter who turned in another mis-firing game.

Leicester always looked more dangerous, committing more men forwards on each attack. At the end of one great speedy move Vardy was released clean through but Camp brilliantly saved his effort seeing the ball flick on to the cross-bar.

Bournemouth were struggling more and more with Grabban coming in so we lacked width and Rantie poor at holding the ball up and showing poor control in general the ball came back too easily. Vardy set up James for a thundering drive that Camp once again performed miracles to get a hand to before Elphick cleared off the line.

Chances were few and far between for the home team and the best one came when Elphick headed Harte's sublime free-kick inches wide of the far post.

HT Bournemouth 0 Leicester 0

Eddie was disapointed with the ability to keep the ball down our end so moved to two up front in the second half. He took Rantie and Fraser off and replaced them with Kermorgant and Ritchie and this gave the team a better all round shape.

To begin with Bournemouth started playing to Kermorgant as if he was the Breton equivalent of Steve Fletcher (Etienne Tireur de Fleche) which was meat and drink to Morgan but when they got the ball down it started to look more promising as he linked with Grabban well. One such move saw Grabban turn and let off an imperious 25 yard drive that flicked the outside of the post with Schmeichel beaten.

This heralded Bournemouth's best period of the game but that said, Schmmeichel still did not have to make a save. Ritchie's awesome ball across the box was narrowly missed by Grabban and then the top scorer was released into the box but turned one to many times and his cross/shot was charged down.

The game was hotting up and pulsating from end to end. Camp pulled off a phenomenal one handed save from Nugent's point blank header and it was even money as to where the deadlock was going to be broken.

The referee was not having the most endearing of matches for the home side showing some strange notions for what a yellow card was and generally favouring the league leaders with a sea of decisions. Kermorgant getting elbowed in the face saw a yellow, Arter being taken with feet off the ground was not even deemed a free-kick.

The officials were saving their best till last. Pearson had brought on veteran PHILLIPS with thirteen minutes to go and the scourge of many a goalkeeper had been on the pitch less than five when he pounced. A routine cross to the back post saw the striker steal in unmarked to head over and back across Camp. The hitman wheeled away in celebration as Francis cleared the ball seemingly off the goal line. The linesman flagged frantically and to the dismay of the Bournemouth players closest to the ball the goal stood. Eddie Howe admitted after the game that the video footage showed that it had crossed the line to his mind. Lee Camp made the point though that how the Linesman could have been seen through the post and Elliott Ward to give the goal

Still it stood and Bournemouth had no answer other than to throw Pitman on, move Ward up front and lump the ball at them for what proved to be their most ineffective period of the game and Leicester saw the remaining ten plus five out with no drama.

Ft Bournemouth 0 Leicester 1

Camp 9 - Outstanding four saves and great handling.

Francis 5 - Dodgy moments at the back and hands full with Dyer
Elphick 7 - Stout and brave handling of a lively front two.
Ward 7 - Dominant in the air and good understanding with Tommy
Harte 7 - Steady as you go performance, decent in air and delivery

Fraser 5 - Just nowhere near as effective on left as right.
Surman 6 - Some elegant moments but not dominant enough.
Arter 5 - Might need a rest? Misplaced passing and bogged down.
O'Kane 7 - Pick of midfield trio and looked to run with the ball.
Grabban 5 - Worked hard but not a winger - better back up front.

Rantie 5 - Not a lone front man - not enough strength or control.

MOM - Camp - superb saves and box commanding. Two centre halfs were worth a great shout.

Anyway.

 

From a personal point of view, you were a good, honest, workmanlike side yesterday; no sign of this legendary passing game though.

 

 

tbh I didn't think either side showed what it was capable of because of the wind and the pitch, not the prettiest game to watch if you were a neutral.

 

With AFCB it was a case of too many games on heavy pitches in too short a space of time, I worry for us over the next few weeks of mud, our game deosn't suit it and we look tired.

 

At times yesterday you looked realy impressive, I can see a unit like that murdering some teams, especially at home.

 

All the best for promotion, maybe its your turn next year to be the 'tinpot club' punching above it's weight in a league full of 'big' clubs? 

 

 

Ah well, at least you've got a massive pitch........................................................

Lee Camp made the point though that how the Linesman could have been seen through the post and Elliott Ward to give the goal

I agree with large parts of that, apart from the fact we 'should count ourselves lucky'.

With regards to the above quote, the ball was in on the first bounce, hence the post nor Ward being in the way of the view the linesman had.

[suffolk fox]

Above post is hypocritical. Howcan webe fortunate to leave with three points when their goalkeeper for fooks sakegets man ofthe match? They are punching above their weight cos they aint very good.

We have already murdered a lot of teams, especially at home, that is when our passing game is more promenant... the conditions weren't great for either side but the best team won.

Not sure that hypocritical is the word you're looking for there mate.

 

In your opinion, inaccurate, contrary, utter bollocks maybe but not hypocritical.

 

 

Of course we're punching above our weight.

 

What exactly do you expect from a team that has been skint for 100 years?

 

 

We've finally got a source of income and maybe we can put on some weight.

 

 

I was forgetting that Leicester have always had loads of money and success.

 

I really  am not worthy to reply your post.

What a strange thing to say.

Anyway, for all my lavish criticism of Boyrnemouth (only fuelled by my frustration at not getting a ticket in with our lot), if Leicester go up this season I'll be down to watch Bournemouth play on occasion.

I love Bournemouth as a town personally so it was a bit gut wrenching to hear "Bournemouth's a shithole" getting sung.

[suffolk fox]

Jealousy is a wonderful thing. Best thing about Bournemouth is the old Victorian Pier. Or the view of it in your rear view mirror as you leave Town.

Agree with this, Bournemouth is a lovely place. Reckon this was the only song me and Sol didnt join in. Now, if they had sang Boscombes a shitehole...... we'd have been in like a flash. It really is horrible. Wife parked to pick us up after the game just off Christchurch Road - ie the main road in Boscombe. Right in front of her some guy was beating up his wife/girlfriend. What a dump. Having said that, the 'greasy spoon' cafe we had the bacon and egg pre-match sarnie was bloody epic! And the staff in Mello Mello were good too. How they served all those people so quickly, never a queue at the bar - Counting House, take note.

 

Talking of Mello Mello, who exactly from here was in there? Didnt meet one of you, where was Bayfox? Or were you all avoiding me? Saw the whole of the 2nd half of QPR game in there, stood at the back of the bar almost in the kids area. 

[CosbehFox]

I'm still finding sugar puffs in my coat cos of the honey monster. Great celebrations right in front of me for second game running.

I thought it was two decent teams. The game went considerably direct in the second half with the pitch cutting up. Bournemouth's downfall is having three midfielders who do the same sideways passing job, they need a creative player in there.

[Guy]

It was great to grind out such a win as yesterday's, a game that we'd have struggled to win in the previous two seasons and one that we would have most likely gone on to lose even, having not converted our earlier chances. So often that was the case in the previous two seasons, particularly against these lesser sides. Fair play to Bournemouth, they hustled and harried us - and the crowd generated a good atmosphere - but they didn't even manage to force Kasper into making a single save.

 

In the circumstances we were in at the turn of the year then super Kevin Phillips was an astute signing by Pearson before a ball was even kicked and it is already paying dividends after his clever dummy allowed Nugent to score the crucial winning goal at Leeds and then popping up with the winner yesterday from the subs bench, despite the controversy surrounding it. I predict this will be his last season of being a crucial goal scoring specialist for teams seeking promotion to the Prem. but who cares?!   

 

Looking rosey for the remainder of the season, staring with the revenge game mark two next against Watford next weekend!

[Spudulike]

I think the Bournemouth's a shit hole song was a bit tongue in cheek, to be honest. I parked up by the Queen's Park golf club and there's some big expensive houses around there. I like the town.
