Football Special

Thought he got injured at Ipswich?

Yes, offer received from Roma

I think it will be a bubble, they did it for Sunderland v Newcastle and still do it for south Wales derby, Swansea even made fans have ID to match ticket purchase when handing over ticket.

League cup 2019 was optional, think they encouraged fans to get the coach but myself and plenty others got the train, nice walk to the stadium making friends along the way This was a good episode of Copa90 for that game

Yeah annoys me, also hate hearing "you're nothing special we lose every week" and "how shit must you be it's only 1-0" I know it's gallows humour trying to laugh at the awfulness of it , but it add to the spiral of negativity at the ground Enjoyed the 10 min spell when we actually started to go for it and crowd really got behind them

Yep very disappointing to see that

Spurs fans also protesting about the board, maybe they could replace Levy with Ankerson?

Sport Republic Out useless cunts

Talking to a 🍒 after the game, his words "I thought you'd make if harder for us , first half did any of your players know what they should be doing ' Damning indictment, none of them had a fucking clue

Just be reading about that, interesting to compare the two clubs approach to it

It's the harsh truth, needs to be shown to the marketing department when they are preparing for season ticket renewals

Chris Sutton loves to stick the boot in doesn't he

So as a manager he's beaten two premier league teams this season? That's more than Russell Martin or Ivan have managed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is he refusing to play?

To be honest im surprised there isnt 20,000 season ticket seats listed on the exchange

You never know, maybe Bournemouth will have an outbreak of food poisoning and rule out the whole first team. Already helped that David Brooks can't play as he's cup tied

Staplewood is also very impressive by the way, facilities excellent, the main complaint is location as most of our players seem to live up Winchester area now

Yep I remember it well, I also know a couple of Bournemouth fans who claim to support them + another club (West Ham and Man Utd) , they say that used to be common 20 years ago when they were 4th tier it was acceptable to have a Premier league club as well, really shows how far they have come!

I mentioned this to a Bournemouth fan recently who tried to claim it never happened, obviously wasn't going to games in that era then! Some of their crowds were tiny.

THE New Forest derby, what an odd game this is, playing a traditional local minnow who get to have their big day out singing about scummers , desperately hoping for a reciprocal rivalry they so badly crave. Even beating us comfortably won't get that though, most Saints fans seem pleased for them and hope they enjoy their moment in the sun. Score 1-4

Absolutely, averages attendances would go up for a cup game , not down like they do now, even replays used to generate great excitement with some great nights under the lights. People wouldn't believe you now if you tried to explain 2nd or 3rd replays!

Gave me a good chuckle, swearing away on live tv, magic of the Cup that
