My man acting like we got promoted from the Championship. Of course Man City would put up their strongest line up:mjtf:


Ole, if not for the inconsistency. Should be sacked for these dumbass quotes like these
...:snoop:


It wasn't even the strongest lineup, Ederson was available but Bravo got the start because it was a cup game, and Otamendi played.

But #OleIn he's doing an amazing job.

@Givethanks some Qatari nikka from Beinsports is confirming the Xavi move :ohhh:
Yeah? I've been following the rumours for a minute. I think if he should come, it should be in the summer, right now might be too soon, you know with CL and all. Tbh it seems like it can go both ways, either really well or go to shyt.

At least we know he can make Barca fun to watch again

For him, better to come in the Summer, gives him more time to implement his own ideas.

But the reality is we all know the problem is. The forwards need to defend, but none have the legs to do so anymore. Until that is addressed, Barca will continue to have these up and down results away from home.

Exactly, playing Messi and Suarez together is a liability much as it is an asset. Tbh this old core needs to go:francis:

Eddie Howe for England
:mjgrin:

:scust: he is terrible. When he does leave, he'll be seen as the great underdog who took on the big teams with little old Bournemouth and punched above their weight for years. He took them as far as he can, in a good way. :scust:When the reality is, yeah he took them as far as he can, because he isn't good enough to adjust things and have been lucky that the PL has had alot of subpar teams in recent years that has saved Bournemouth from the drop.

Bournemouth every season in the PL is like the same story, over and over again. Start the season well, pick up points that, then go on months of losing 3-4 on the trot and then winning 1 rinse and repeat . Then they find a bit of form and limp over to midtable finish as the teams below them all start taking points off one another. And the only reason Bournemouth stay up because they took enough points over the first 10-15 games to stay up.

Bournemouth are a terribly run club. Have a ground that holds less than Wimbledon Centre Court (The Arena not Shopping Centre :skip: ) but have a bigger net spend than Spurs Liverpool and Chelsea over the same time since entering the PL.
:scust:

It's like Southampton send their best players to Liverpool and Liverpool send back the ones that are useless back down to the South Coast but get rerouted to Bournemouth instead.
