The Bourne(mouth) Ultimatum

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

v Bournemouth...just about sums it all up really. Is there any real reason we shouldn't win five or six-nil?

I can think of just one, Tango, but mentioning it'd just be monotonous.

Is it these league tables that I've heard so much about? Blatant meritocracy.

I'm doing the half time challenge......

What do you look like? Will you be wearing a cycle helmet or an annoyed expression?

He's just seeing if he can sit through the sorry shower of shite until half-time..

It's going to be wet so make sure you wear trainers with no grip then we can all have a good laugh when you go A over T !!!
Mind you we'll probably need a good laugh come half time !!

So ... you'll be somewhere near to Dougie for a few minutes.

I'll try & think of some snippets for you to say to him.

My lad's doing a rain dance as we speak....he wants me to break neck.....

No, won't be near him......unfortunately......

All in the spirit of a little humour amongst our current woes:

Bournemouth are coming to play Boton Wanderers, who train near Preston and actually play their home games in Horwich. They may want a guided tour of the homeland of the Super Whites players in which case we'll need a couple of local lads to show them around. Let's see now, who's available:

Adam B. Well, he's Hungarian so perhaps not the best to know where Sam Crompton was born.
Andy Lonergan. He's from Preston, reasonably near, but has never been to Breightmet or had a pint in The Rocket.
Alex Baptiste? He's a Notts/Derbyshire lad and probably doesnt know about Carrs Pasties.
Zat Knight. A Brum. He's been here long enough but that accent will get funny looks in the Olympus Grill.
Matthew Claude Mills is from Leicester (I kid you not about the Claude bit)
Tim Ream....our friendly yank, but, er no, perhaps not the best guide to explaining gastronomic Lancashire delights.
Jay Spearing. Wallasy, so Scouser and still sore about James Stanley.(7th Earl of Derby) who we executed on Churchgate a while back. Then there's the accent.....maybe not.
Chris Eagles...from Jane Austen land (Hertfordshire) so probably a bit posh, a touch upmarket if you will. .
Chungy...nuff said.
Andre Moritz. He'll be full of Brazil and the World Cup and won't know where Moss Bank Park is.
Darren Pratley . Barking, Essex, so possibly speaks in tongues and knows Bournemouth pretty well.
Medo Kamara. Sierra Leone. Probably still hasn't visited the local sights yet, like Hall-ith-Wood,the skate board park on Great Moor Street or Farnworth's tan, nail and cash converter mile.
Lucas Jutkiewictz ..or near enough. Polish lad who's only just arrived himself and only recognises the goalie because he's the only one who passes the ball to him. .
Mark Davies. Wolverhampton, but been here a while with the one and onlies. Might do the job?
Josh Vela and Joe Riley are both Mancs from Salford so more at home at Moon under the Water or somewhere similar.
Oluwasanami, Babafemi, Oluwaseu, Odelusi. From the land of the girl Pipers. Tis the truth..???

In light of little local knowlege available we could of course amuse our visitors by challenging them to spot Tierney, Mears and Stuart Holden around the Reebok with a double chip barm as the prize (can anybody remember what the three musketeers look like anyway? ....

Get the feeling that's been the attitude of some in the team since day one in this league.

Might have been the attitude, but the commitment doesn't see to bear it out.

Looking again at those pesky ol' meritocratic league tables, there's six reasons we shouldn't beat them at all - the six points they are above us.

They've not lost to anyone below them away, either. (Although that's only two games)...

[TANGODANCER]

I think I was just doing a mental head shake really, thinking..."and this is the team that spent eleven seasons in the Prem, got into the UEFA twice and drew with Bayern Munich" .....just wishful thinking...

It isn't that team though is it?

Might be the same club it is also the same club who got relegated to the bottom division and got stuffed at Scarborough.....

Hi ho! Long suffering Bournemouth fan here.

I come in peace; but I'm up for a fight if anyone wants it.


Nice guide to your players there, tbh Eagles is the only one I've ever heard of.

I led a very sheltered life in Division One, there was never any real point looking upwards until the end of last season.



You're one of the few boards I've visited this season that has avoided the 'It's only Bournemouth, they're not a proper championship side, we'll hammer them' attitude.

Great to see a some realism, your attitude to football is a damn sight better than Leicester City (They're one of the biggest clubs in the Championship doncha know? Promotion is certain and Europe is only a season or two away.)


On the whole we're hopeful of a decent result tomorrow, the away performances have been better than the home ones this season.

Note I said 'hopeful' not 'certain'.

Marc Pugh's from Bacup. He's more 'local' than most of ours.

Someone from Bacup has been allowed out?

That's front page news, notify the authorities immediately.

Jutkiethingy is a Southampton lad........ Sounds Polish, aye. But isn't

There's two ways to go into a game thinking it's going to be 6-0. A good way and a bad way...

[TANGODANCER]

Jutkiethingy is a Southampton lad........ Sounds Polish, aye. But isn't

Aye, he has a Polish grandad and wants to play for Poland apparently.

Best of luck with that, he couldn't even get in Middlesbrough's team.
