Toadhall Saint Posted 30 October, 2015 Share Posted 30 October, 2015 I think with a lot of Saints fans they would look for the Bournemouth result and hope they had won and then look for P/Mouth in the hope that they had lost. That'll be me then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 30 October, 2015 Share Posted 30 October, 2015 im not fussed about Bournemouth as a rival. Just see this as a good fixture with an added bit of interest. More importantly, we are in good form and this is a 'kind' fixture given their form and league position. I cannot see how they can stay up. Not bothered if they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelpie Posted 30 October, 2015 Share Posted 30 October, 2015 League 1 didn't make me hate them and neither will this. Just isn't going to be a big rivalry. I hope we beat them and I hope they stay up. Might be bigger if we lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintTex Posted 30 October, 2015 Share Posted 30 October, 2015 ----------------Stek---------------- Cedric---Fonte---Van Dijk---Bertrand --------Clasie----Wanyama-------- --Mane-----S.Davis-----Tadic-- ---------------Pelle--------------- I think this is our best line-up and formation going forward for the rest of this season. I might entertain Romeu instead of Clasie depending on who we are playing, but IMO, this should be the line-up every match (if fit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 31 October, 2015 Share Posted 31 October, 2015 Mmmm Bournemouth. I hope we beat them and get plenty of goals to help our GD.......After that I would hope they learn a lot about that experience enough to keep them away from relegation so they can stay up.

SNSUN Posted 31 October, 2015 Share Posted 31 October, 2015 There's definitely a gap opening up in the Prem and we're on the cusp of it. Hopefully we can be professional tomorrow and get the win and keep pace with the top lot. Win tomorrow and weirdly we're still only 5 points behind rampant Leicester. Understandably Bournemouth players will be well up for this, and will probably give an extra 10% but simply we are the better team. As long as we don't suffer 11 brain farts we should have enough to win comfortably, but as ever I'd take a scrappy 1-0 win. Stupid work, wish I could be there but Sky will have to suffice.

Guan 2.0 Posted 31 October, 2015 Share Posted 31 October, 2015 I watched highlights of their loss against Liverpool, and noticed that after regaining the ball from a failed corner (they were attacking) Bournemouth passed it straight back up the field to their keeper. If this is a regular tactic, to try and shield Distin (now aged 37), our CM's really need to harry so that Mane and Tadic can benefit from misplaced passes.

Crazy Diamond Posted 31 October, 2015 Share Posted 31 October, 2015 I've worked for AFCB (for free, in one of their many hours of need) and lived down there. Let me tell you, they really do not like us. It's not a 'derby' and it's disappointing to see that one of our own media team say that it is - it shows they don't really understand their own club and its fans. I've been living in London for a couple of years now and this fixture is like Millwall-Charlton. Charlton hate Millwall. Millwall couldn't give a toss about Charlton - they only care about West Ham, don't particularly like Chelsea either. Is there a rivalry? No. I'm sorry but how can there be when we've played them what, a handful times competitively in about 50 years? There's bugger all else to talk about for media on the south coast so they're naturally making a bigger story out of this game than there really is to tell. It's also been stirred up by social media and a lot of Dorset keyboard warriors. Its plain embarrassing to see someone pull out a Bournemouth flag and pose with it outside St. Mary's, or hear someone suggest that they're a bigger club. It's amazing what a few games in the top flight does to your ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelman Posted 1 November, 2015 Share Posted 1 November, 2015 It's not a 'derby' Completely disagree with you. OK the word "derby" might have been somewhat basterdised, but a local derby it certainly can be considered to be. But really who cares whether it is or not? What difference does it make? It certainly doesn't make any difference to the 3 points that we will hopefully get. Is there a rivalry? No. I'm sorry but how can there be when we've played them what, a handful times competitively in about 50 years? Disagree here as well. Rivalry is what ever you want it to be and is just a matter of opinion. Personally all the other PL teams are rivals, and I don't particularly care about history as the present is the important bit. If AFCB get some kick out of beating us, so be it. It's really not much different to many of our supporters getting some kick out of beating THFC. It may well have been bigged up by the press, but so what? You don't have to buy into their opinion. Me. I want the south coast to be well represented in the PL (of course with one exception) and hope AFCB (and us) survive and B&HA get promoted.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 1 November, 2015 Share Posted 1 November, 2015 Ritchie will score, of course he will. Question is, are we going to have one of our blunt weekends, and if we do - do you reckon we will score 2? They will raise their game big time, Boruc will have a blinder, you know it. And chasing at 0-1 after that Ritchie strike will leave us vulnerable to the counter. So if it goes 0-2 and the Bompey are giving it large do we still not really care? Let's not go there, team will need to be well up for the contest, creative and hungry, or we won't be winning this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 1 November, 2015 Share Posted 1 November, 2015 I hope we play an attacking team and come out all guns blazing. Their defence won't be able to handle us at our best. We should also be a big threat from set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
