[Football] Smug Eddie

Thunder Bolt said:

I can't stand him. He hasn't succeeded anywhere else except Bournemouth (who we know cheated FFP) and even lied to them when he said he wasn't going to leave them, and promptly went to Burnley the very next morning.

BLOCK F said:

So you really would stop going to Brighton if he became manager, would you?

Thunder Bolt said:

Yes.

Fortunately, it's unlikely to happen.

As a long time watcher from AFCB who seldom posts, can I just take a moment to thank 95% of you for this thread.

It's refreshing to read about AFCB in a positive light on here, we can't help always beating you in the league I know; but I've read some truly memorable anti AFCB/Eddie tripe over the years.

Thanks for a nice day out in a nice town with some excellent beer yesterday.

See you next year.

BLOCK F said:

Well,I hope we see you next year.
Blimey, Ken Bailey's Ghost; please no!
That reminds me of when I lived in Bournemouth from 1970 to 1973 and saw a fair few games in the old stadium with Ted McDougall and Phil Boyer scoring for fun.
Happy days and a nice town too!

P.S.I can't understand the tripe some of our number write about Eddie, I wish he was our manager!

His players were up to their usual antics. Boruc was time wasting and making gestures at the North Stand. Cook was shouting at the family stand and acting like the **** he is. Every single one of their players ran round the referee when Knockaert made the tackle.

Smug Eddie will never have my respect.

Are you aware you've been called an 'old tart' on a Bournemouth forum?

Mostly fair comments.

They do harp on about the infrastructure stuff a bit too much but I guess that is warranted because of a minority of very loud fans that for some reason think Bournemouth are a rival.

They probably get just as much shit thrown their way about being no-marks as us because of history. Them stuffing Chelsea 4-0 was fantastic, wish we could have done that rather than 2 wins vs a dour Man United.

Good luck to them, doubt we'll be playing them next season.

That's pretty simplistic.

I think its fair to say he has more than succeeded at Bournemouth, as for FFP its just a number of clubs that get promoted on the back of it - I don't agree with it - but to use it as a stick to beat him with is unfair.

Harry Wilson's tackle said:

As someone bounced this thread I noticed my original comments about Colin and his tactics. How wrong I was. Apart from understandable time wasting after they went ahead the game seemed to be played in pretty decent spirit. Mind you we didn't exactly put Colin in a position where he felt the need to throw on the equivalent of Santos to kick Andone up into the air.

Tbh, they played us off the park.
