Always had a lot of time for Brighton, but this thread made last nights win even more enjoyable. The references to Harry After were pathetic, and even the last two pages smack still of sour grapes. Harry Wilsons tackle has it spot on (unfortunately).
The money bit is easy now. Hate us or not, Eddie Howe has clearly built something good. Anyone can throw money at a football team but it doesn't always stick. Villa and Leeds being a couple of examples.
I think the worry is what happens to us when Eddie goes.
But for now we're doing ok and the...
Another afcb fan here who'd be delighted to see both teams in the top flight. Always enjoyed our games against you.
Don't quite understand the bitterness but hey ho. We've had five or six decent seasons consecutively, whereas most before that have been utter dross! Teams get promoted and...
Hi, back in peace.
Really enjoyed reading this lengthy thread. We got there in the end, and we'll enjoy however long we get in the top division.
I've been going since '71 and to be honest I'd still go (if I'm around!) if we went back to our 'level' or lower. Having money has been a nice...
Bournemouth fan, back again in peace, neither expecting nor wanting a response!
Thought you played really well last week, and hope you turn things around soon. Our season is getting incredibly nervy and I doubt theres one fellow supporter who feels the same way as the pundits or bookies.
If...
Here in peace. I don't understand why you seem so pessimistic. You played well in the first game I thought.
Obviously I'm hoping for an afcb win, but after so many years without much success it still seems like a really tough ask.
Hope your remainder of the season goes well, after this game of...
At least this thread got to 3 pages before one of yours mentioned the FACT of the 'massive salary'.
We got two good players, but I'm sure you've sold players who haven't gone on to better things.
Icy, only time will tell whether we can last the pace, but at times the team has been a joy to watch. We score a lot, but we also concede too, and more physical teams can outwit us at times.
I, and a few thousand others, have watched so many years of dross, and now we're having a little slice...
supaseagull, which games of ours have you seen this season? I'm guessing it was the fortunate 8-0 at Brighton.
As for inevitable relegation, I'm thinking most of our fans would expect it anyway. This is probably the most successful period in our history. Much of the time has been spent in the...
I'm back, still trying to be friendly.
As I said a while back, many of the side now playing for us signed when we were in the Championship. Pitman played for us in League 2. We sold Grabban to Narch this summer, and received a large sum for Adam Llama, so there has been money coming in. Oh, and...
Bournemouth fan in peace here. I just wanted to point out that most of the team performing well today were signed as League 1 players. Pitman has stayed with us since League 2. We signed Wilson after selling Grabban and receiving 25% of the Adam Llallana fee from Liverpool.
Cook and Elphick...
