Redslo Posted 27 April, 2015 Share Posted 27 April, 2015 Congratulations Bournemouth. This has been only their fifth ever season at this level. They play some beautiful football and have deserved their chance at the big time. They will certainly be a refreshing change from all the drearydull stuff played at the bottom of the Premier League. Let's hope that they don't get overawed by their visits to the big stadiums but it would be understandable if they couldn't handle a trip to the biggest club of all. Their preseason friendly at Portsmouth? Fair play to them. Sky Sports will no doubt make a big deal of a rivalry that isn't there next season when we play them though. Their games against us will be the most important games of the season for their fans. Arsenal? Aston Villa? Will they be alphabetized by AFC rather than Bou? Howe 33-1 to be next England manager. England could do worse. And repeatedly has. Boruc. Does this mean scotty=Irene? How about we give them a tad bit of respect and stop already trying to sign up their team? Hope they can keep that group together and give it a good go. Surely a team that was in the top 4 for around 5 months of the season talking about signing their players is the ultimate show of respect We all know how much Liverpool respects us? That's our world famous catchment area down the toilet then. Unless their academy progresses to category one, I don't think it will matter? What rank is their academy btw. My two minutes of intensive googling failed to find the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 27 April, 2015 Share Posted 27 April, 2015 If they continue to play that style of football, and are shrewd in the transfer market then I reckon they could surprise a few people next year and do alright. They certainly play a better style of football than the likes of Stoke and Sunderland, plus I reckon Dean Court could be a massive advantage to them. Fair play to them, nice to see a new face in the prem, especially after what they went through not long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted 27 April, 2015 Share Posted 27 April, 2015 Congratulations to Bournemouth and they certainly deserved it for their performances over the year. I think they could surprise a few people next season as their style of football should be well suited to the Premier League - they press high, have bags of skill and plenty of pace and good movement. With one or two signings they have every chance of having a reasonable first season in the top division. Plus they have Eddie Howe in charge, a guy who quietly goes about his business but has proved to be a top class coach. Our games against them will be interesting that's for sure.

ART Posted 27 April, 2015 Share Posted 27 April, 2015 Really fantastic news for the South. We are not alone and that can only be a good thing. Despite living 4 years in Bournemouth during my student days, I have never seen them play or been to their ground. When I recall our pre season game against them I can only think of how well they played against us. Incredible where they stand now at the end of the season and where we ourselves are. Happiest for Drew and have long wished we'd brought him back to the club. His time has come and I believe he won't screw up this time around.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 27 April, 2015 Share Posted 27 April, 2015 For those of you saying well done to little Bournemouth and it's great , here are a few facts for you. They hate us and call us scummers They love Pompey & particular Twitchy It is not some sort of fairy story , they pay massive wages and have outspent most clubs in that league . They are following the Portsmouth model , with a rich Russian bankrolling a Poxy little club . It makes me laugh that people complain about The Skates and yet another side who do exactly the same thing are praised . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redslo Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 (edited) Absolutely amazing achievement. Let's loan them some more players so they have a chance of staying up too We can only loan them one player at a time under premier league rules, but it would make sense to loan them a young player if we had one that was good enough for them but wouldn't get playing time for us. If we didn't charge them for the loan, we could make the player recallable I believe. For those of you saying well done to little Bournemouth and it's great , here are a few facts for you. They hate us and call us scummers They love Pompey & particular Twitchy It is not some sort of fairy story , they pay massive wages and have outspent most clubs in that league . They are following the Portsmouth model , with a rich Russian bankrolling a Poxy little club . It makes me laugh that people complain about The Skates and yet another side who do exactly the same thing are praised . To be fair, the same could all be said about us (except for the name calling, we don't call ourselves those names). We got promoted by paying massive salaries based upon a rich foreigner bankrolling us. I am not clear now that is the Portsmouth model--at least not now where Portsmouth does not have and claims not to want a rich benefactor. All three of these local clubs had financial problems in the recent past by spending money they didn't have. I do not see why we can be excused but the others are morally bankrupt.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 (edited) a) They aren't following the Pompey model if they're actually paying their bills b) I'm not convinced it does make you laugh A) Pompey paid their bills at first .

They do call us scummers though, they want a rivalry, simple as that.

FloridaMarlin Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 The media love-in will be all over them next season, easy story of plucky club fighting for their FL existence six years ago, talented young English manager, yadda, yadda, yadda. Not a bad thing as it will take some of the limelight off us and allow Ron to get on with his job in a quieter environment instead of people picking over the bones of our carcass. Let's see how they cope with Brenda Rodgers fluttering her eyelids at Calum Wilson, Wenger eyeing Kermorgant as Giroud's understudy and their players being picked off. Of course, as AFC is a feelgood story, there won't be talk of a meltdown as the media won't want to undermine their easy story. Is it worth starting a sweepstake as to when we see the first story of plucky Cherries battling to hold on to their stars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopper Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 (edited) I`m especially pleased for Andy Surman, sold by us to Wolves in 2009 for £1.2million. That cash injection just about kept us `alive` at the most difficult of times and I had the impression that the sale, whilst good for the club, was really against Andy`s wishes - he was quoted at the time as saying he left Southampton `with a heavy heart.` It`s good to see him back in the Premier League and good luck to him and to Bournemouth. They`ve been where we`ve been and we should be pleased for them that it`s all come good. Edited 28 April, 2015 by Snopper minor amendments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
