Oldandtired

For me because after 65+ years of watching and enjoying football, up or down, good or bad, that prick did more to practically kill my love for the game with his turgid football than anything else. We got promotion in spite of him not because of him, and I really hope he falls flat on his face.

It appears the Bournemouth option, if ever there was one, has disappeared for Ramsdale.

Is that not 'here we go again' Win league with championship quality Get promoted PL..oh sh*t

With the caveat that I don’t keep up with world football so could not say who the next Messi is going to be, on the face of it we seem to be aiming lower and lower in our transfer targeting, with perhaps more obscure players popping up on the radar. Either it’s genius born of incredible knowledge of who’s available and their skills / assets, or we’re getting desperate. I suppose time will tell.

Perhaps you need to use the right word... volume, in the context of measurement, is an expression of how much space a substance or object occupies, not an expression of numerical quantity. To use your expression, some people really are fucking dense, especially when they live in glass houses and start throwing stones...

Sorry but if that's the level we aspire to then I feel it's not going to go well next season.

Cheers.

Sort of connected to this thread but is Ramsdale doing pre season with the rest of them?

See Kepa's gone to Arsenal. Does this mean Bournemouth will now need a new keeper, one who's already on the south coast and has good mates at the club?

As others have said I hope he gets a good move. To my mind he has been a true Saint and should be remembered as such.

Don't be so down on yourself... you must have some redeeming features surely?

Don't know if this is the right part of the forum or not but I saw this on the Sky Sports page. I posted it as I can't see it anywhere else on here and if true could have a huge impact on next season. Leicester's future has been left shrouded in uncertainty as their Thai owners face a total business collapse

Not hated per se but an active dislike of most of them last season.

Some believe we were promoted despite him.

I wondered what the funny smell was in the air over the last few days. Must've been the smell of bullshit emanating from the north.

Do they publish a retained list? If they do when will it come out?

I can’t think of any names off of the top of my head but for me what might be intriguing is if under this manager who reportedly might go about things a bit differently to what we’ve been used to recently can revitalise a few players who we might just have written off. Charlie Taylor is maybe one. I think that the transfer window, the pre season and the early part of next season could be very interesting. Of course, then I’ll wake up and realism will set in…

Who knew that a quality ball played into a tall striker in the area can sometimes result in a goal.... also not much impressed me about Arsenal today except Odegard absolutely busted a gut to get forward for his goal. I don't think I saw any of our players do that at any stage today.

as always.... hope for the best, fear the worst. &nbsp but I have a feeling about this, I think it might be good. Either that or my gout's come back.

His ego and bloated self belief in his perceived abilities will always preclude that.

I think the difference there is that there is a vast gulf in quality between the present THB and the then JWP. THB has not performed at all well for a while now so imo we would struggle to get anywhere near that figure for him.

The second sentence is why it's unlikely that the first sentence will happen.

On the evidence of this season the jury is out..

Let’s get it over and done with. Then the usual optimism with new manager, players till the reality check kicks in. Been there, done that.

Is it thought that he (whoever he is, and I’m assuming it will be a he) will be appointed soon after this season ends so he can have a say in the players bought in?
