3 losses in our last 17 games against Bournemouth. If they've got our number, they really need to keep it somewhere safe.
Bournemouth are like Donald Trump. They thrive by creating chaos and disorder by stirring people up and then sneak in through the back door admist all the disruption. Plus they are also utter cxnts.
Think we should put this to bed now - we have been excellent in the last few games, we were na*ve and tried to play football while they concentrated on trying to con the ref, but doubt any of us would want our players to revert to Lerma's tactics. Screw them they are still only just in the play offs with Barnsley and Cardiff hot on their heels. However no point holding any bitterness, if it make Muff happy , congratulations you have some wonderful actors in your squad. time to move on and concentrate on our real rivals Swansea and Brentford
Yonks ago while Bournemouth were still friendly championship tinpot rivals of ours and I was still toiling a living in a call center for refrigeration repairs, I often made calls to a Bournemouth based repair company. Me and the staff there had a mutual understanding that the longer we stayed on the phone together blabbering about football and our respective teams prospects, the less we would have to be forced to do any real work. We built up friendships, remembered names, trivia and dare I say, I looked forward to when a Dorset based fridge went down as it meant I could converse with someone relatable for at least 10 minutes. Fast-forward to today, I hope they find rabbit droppings in their Nesquik tomorrow morning.
Liked for the Mrs Croppley like combination of rabbit droppings and Nesquick! Does anyone still use that? Nesquick I mean,not the combination!
Before that was it West Ham in September 16? if so that's once in what 90 away games -totally agree with your conclusion. 5 players remain from that Jan 19 game-Ben/Kiko/Cathcart/ Will and TD
Are you aware of current middle Eastern foreign affairs ? But yes . Muff are a bunch of canuts. No argument there.
A possible issue with Muff and the tactics that they deploy is our high turnover of managers. Someone can mug me off the once . Well done . Well played. But don't try it again. However most of our managers only ever encounter the Muff the once so never get a chance to even things up .
I *think* he means the Nesquik breakfast cereal. I always told the kids (when they were little) it was "rabbit sh1t" (because of its sugar content) - that caused some explaining at school when, after their grandmother bought it for them, they told their teacher what they had been fed. cf "monkey sh1t" cocoa pops and "yuck medicine" condensed milk (I used to take it in espresso coffee - it's something really I miss since I became lactose intolerant).
Good grief! They make it as a cereal? World's gone barmy,footballers will be rolling around, as if disemboweled with a pencil, at the slightest touch next!
I still can't understand how AFCB got away with taking our free kick. They somehow managed to dupe the match officials, our coaching staff (who were only a few yards away) and most of the Watford team (with the possible exception of TC). How they must have chortled in the dressing room afterwards . I guess we just have to add the "phantom free kick" to the "ghost goal" and move on......
Neither the BBC website nor the Sunday Times mentioned Lerma's fake injury or Muff stealing our free kick. Did anyone read about those incidents in any other paper?
When we say they 'stole' our free kick, that can't actually be accurate, though, surely? Presumably what actually happened is that it was unfairly/unjustly re-apportioned to reflect Chalobah's touching of Lerma, and not Lerma's root cause behaviour, nor playacting? I know it's a pisstake still, and hugely annoying, but they are quite distinct things.
It’s certainly wrong to change the restart of play in response to something that happens after the ball is dead. For example, if the ball goes out for a goal kick and then a defender punches an opponent in the penalty area, the referee can’t then award a penalty. This was just a mistake by the ref, but one which should have been protested against by our players and coaches. The fact that it wasn’t was all part of the ‘switching off’ which allowed the winning goal.
Once the ref blew for our free kick, the ball was dead. Once the ball is dead anything that happens afterwards should have no bearing on who restarts.
There is a full EFL programme this midweek. With only one exception all the other refrees from the weekend's Championship games are officiating. Maybe he was always scheduled to have a break this week or perhaps he has been withdrawn?
Well that’s good. Glad to see positive action being taken which will undoubtedly balance up what happened at the weekend. Absolutely no way he’ll be re-introduced at the weekend and nothing gets said. We, as a club, will of course be fined for what went on and probably more than Bournemouth due to how poorly we took their *********ry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Caught up on the highlights this morning. Kiko and Cathcart didn't look like they could deal with Danjuma a couple of times, including the goal. Very poor from Bachmann for the goal too. Sierralta with a couple of good interventions. Every attack came via Sarr, we are a bit of a one man team going forward at times. Perica with a poor miss at the end, don't think he even connects to the ball. Continues to look like a disappointing signing but may get a chance now JP is out. I think its fair enough JP got sent off - he stumbled to ground which causes the initial trip but he has a little kick out with his trailing leg too. Yellow is fair. Wilshere is a c***. Glad his career is wasting away with no lasting impact.
Thread title is embarrassing. I'd piss my knickers after a win like that if the opposing fans were still crying into their cornflakes days after the result. With or without their so-called dastardly behaviour we didn't deserve to win the match. So all our ire should be aimed at the gutless players and the buffoon in charge, rather than letting them off the hook with this carry on. Yet again, our fans show themselves up as the biggest wet blankets in the land.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when his mummy looks at her computer's browser history and asks him why there are 500 entries for "Nicholas Cage" and "winking" (sp?).
