Bournemouth on saturday

[anarchocherry]

Same for most clubs in the Championship, I shouldn't worry though Crystal Palace maintained their top two leagues status by simply running up debt then going into administration (twice). They are a PL team now.

Spend, spend, spend.

How are Tommy, Cook and Fogden getting on?

Worry is that if one day our deep-pocketed russians decide they have had enough and ask for their money back we are screwed.the russian flag outside the ground is iconic though haha.

Tommy stood out last season as he created a solid partnership at the back with Cookie but has not played much this season due to both Cookie and ward being on top form but may play on saturday as Ward is out and Cookie is a doubt.not seen Fogden at all this season but he did wel last season and i believe Eddie Howe is converting him into a full back as we are short in numbers in this area

Welcome anarchocherry. We are being hampered by Financial Fair Play at the moment. Are you guys doing a Forest and sticking 2 fingers at FFP?

I'm not sure we are doing a forest as their resources are probably vaster than ours.the issue is that we signed far too many mediocre players on large wages and put them on 3 year deals etc which impacted what we could do in the summer transfer window but some will leave in january.also the sponsorship deal with 'Goldsands' propped us up a bit

 

[edna krabappel]

Who are the mediocre players?

I must say, I'm curious about this bloke you paid £2m for. How's he getting on? And genuinely curious as to how those wages for the likes of him & presumably Matt Ritchie etc are being paid bearing in mind these FFP rules.

Has the Russian (?) bloke wiggled around FFP? Because- no offence- your crowds are hardly going to support decent Championship wages for long?

I mean players such as Mcquoid/Mcdermott who have not yet played this season to add to Harte/Surman who have not settled and Matt Tubbs wo has gone on loan to Rotherham but not made a impact there up to now

Its not for me to say whether he has or not as i dont really have any proof to back it up but the deals with Energy Consulting & Goldsands(which has far as i know are not a real company) do seem very weird to say the least


Tokelo Rantie has had a slow start so far but works hard but things just have not been going his way especially the way we play however he did score a very good goal vs burnley couple of weeks ago

Is he supposed to be a striker or a midfielder?

And do you think Elphick has it in him to succeed at this level? I always thought Cook had great potential, and would easily make the step up, but can't help feeling Tommy is a decent, solid (if lacking finesse) League One level but little more.

Genuinely curious, he's a wholehearted and lovely lad, I know that. But was last in our long chain of centre halves back when we sold him.

He is a striker.
Elphick has the ability and potential to succeed at this level but up to now he has been kept out of the side as Cook/Elliott Ward have been solid so far this season.he may play on saturday as ward is out and cookie is a doubt

So solid? You've conceded 31 goals in 16 games!?!? There seems some confusion over whether or not we have a sell on clause for Cook. Any idea and what level of interest is there in him?

Good luck for the rest of the season (except for the games against us). Bournemouth are easily my favourite of the other south coast clubs.

Im sure Crystal Palace must have asked you that over and over again

Excellent response anarcho...Up The Cherries! Have you still got Grabban? Hopefully he will rip the seaweed a new one!

Nah, they can't read or write, and are generally unable to string a sentence together verbally.....

Great answer.

Kristina rhianov or abbey Clancy?

Hello everyone

Bournemouth fan here in peace.If anyone has any questions about the match/town/etc.. for saturday feel free to ask and i will be more than happy to help

Did you get a tomato thrown in your face during the 71/72 season

I believe it is around 25/30%.there has been reported interest from some bigger championship and premier league teams but hopefully these are just unfounded rumours as he would be better off staying for another couple of years and learn his trade than move and be on the bench for most of the season which is what has happened to most of the players we have sold in the last couple of years

Think the goal conceded are a false indicative as most have come from thumpings away at Watford and Huddersfield but have steadily come on since then

I'm 20 so no

Is your name something of an oxymoron? The idea of anarchy does not seem to fit comfortably with the cosy picture of sleepy old Bournemouth.

I ask this slightly tongue in cheek. I used to work in Bournemouth and live nearby.

Something like that.But anarchy isnt limited in expressing itself through mindless violence haha

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Just to let you know it probably won't be long before some on here will be pulling your answer apart and saying you don't know what anarchy really means. It might be worthwhile doing a PhD in political thought over the next couple of hours.

Or alternatively, let it just pass you by.

Great work, you'll fit in.

 

[spongy]

Are there going to be any away pubs opening early for this? Will they serve alcohol in the ground before kick off?
