Congratulations to AFC Bournemouth on securing promotion to the Premier League

[We have sand]

Hahahaha aa. Utterly deluded. Fabulous rewrite there. You gave your team absolutely NOTHING until they went ahead.

As you well know, you were absolutely SILENT for the entire first half. Nerves I guess. You gave a 40 second go at Red Flag at the start of the second half, then went SILENT again until you scored.

You started singing 'shall we sing a song for you' on about 78 minutes, and I remember laughing, thinking, the stupid ***** have only sung two themselves so far.

Of course once the game was won you were constant and loud. Who wouldn't be?

watched it back on TV, Cherries can be clearly heard for most of the game, have a watch ;-)

I wonder if they are "Premiere League Ready" Like we are?

 

[Ernest]

I don't think Hoops refs in the Premier League so that is a few penalties gone straightaway

Little history ? you are joking right ? we were founded in 1890 and have never not been in the football league, just because you were not making endless threads and obsessing over us does not mean we were not there. winning does not equal to history, good, bad ups and downs are all part of history and believe me we have had lots, and while i am here just to remind you all we passed FFP, do you think all your loan wages are cheap?

I assume you passed FFP because of the monies received in transfers, which is your flagship financially. What is the wage bill ? I thought it was less than ours, but others seem to differ.

Yes, little history of note. Bouncing around the lower leagues isn't really 'history'. Leeds have history, Forest having history etc. Bournemouth do not.

Well done Bournemouth - not quite there yet, but likely to make it to the promised land, even if only for one season (probably).

Still, I'd be more than happy if that was us!

No thanks. I don't need to.

The TV companies can position their microphones, and mix their levels to fit whatever story they are trying to write. I was on the halfway line, on the night. Bournemouth fans were very very quiet, until the goals.

i think you are confusing success and history, based on your thinking why would Brighton mentioning it ? hardly 2 times European champions yourselves are you ?

Quite right. History is history, whatever the level. Rochdale have as much 'history' as anyone, regardless of silverware.

There was definite nerves at some points, but also good noise at times, that said i don't think we have claimed our away support is in line with Dortmund or Galatasray, which of course yours is haha.

Deservedly champions.

Scored EIGHT at Birmingham, scored SIX at Blackpool, scored FIVE at Fulham, and have scored NINETY goals, thats FORTY SEVEN more than us.

A lot of bitterness and jealously here.

 

[Simster]

As for matters on the pitch - nerves could easily cock this one up. I have a horrible feeling we will be third, with Norwich and Watford filling the top 2 places..we will see!

Yes, fingers crossed.

more away goals than any other team in second tier history in fact, with a game to spare

 

[Albion Robster]

Really hope they finish third and lose to Derby in the Play-Off Final.

How can they be adheering to FFP with a stadium of 12,000 and paying Kenwyne Jones £30k a week?!?!

 

[LamieRobertson]

They score goals

has been said that all the extra sky games, alone covers Kenwyne Jones, the rest is simple keep most of your league1 squad, sell players for good money, and buy better players for less money than the one you sold, .....i should be a chairman.

I don't think any of the comments have suggested that they are not a good side, have they? Mine certainly haven't.

They ARE a good side, and smug Eddie IS a talented manager. Doesn't mean I have to LIKE them, or mean that it's 'bitterness' to hope they fail.

From a purely cold eyed Albion view, I'd rather we were competing against Bournemouth, if we are in the mix next year, than Boro, Norwich or Watford. If they miss out, they'd likely lose a couple if players and won't be as strong as those others would be.

From a personal point of view I dislike Howe, and his false lovely boy image, which wins him so many friends amongst the media and officialdom, despite his teams being masters of cynical gamesmanship. I also have a problem with the media love-in and their constant peddling of the plucky little Bournemouth doing it on a shoestring myth. They must have had about £100k a week In wages on the BENCH on Friday night...

You forgot 'get a huge windfall for a player you had arse all to do with, who left years ago when he was 12'. And spending £2.5m on a striker who never plays. And paying a million plus to players like Dan Gosling to drop down from the Prem.

 

[theboybilly]

Good on Bournemouth I say. All the other contenders have had their days in the sun so why deny the Cherries a bit of success. A fair few of their fans will have suffered for years and stayed loyal. This for me is what football is all about (I don't like the Premier League at all but that's another story)
Good on 'em - I wanted Eddie Howe to come here. No chance of that ever happening now

I agree with absolutely every word of this.
