September 3, 2024Sep 3 Author We absolutely should have enough to beat them and anything other than a win would cause a bit of concern after the Palace result, but matches after an international break are never straightforward. Hopefully, both James and Lavia are back for this, it would be a massive lift and fingers crossed for no new injuries after the international matches.

September 3, 2024Sep 3 On the positive side, we have a pretty good statistics playing at their ground. In the summer of 1977 I went to the coastal city on a 2 weeks language school type of holiday. And while I was there I visited their football ground, then called Dean Court. But to my disappointment the turf was overgrown, worse than my own backyard 😁 (They were playing in Div 4 at that period but I don't think this was a good excuse to have the turf overgrown). As far as I remember Bournemouth was a nice city, and Poole also nice.

As far as I remember Bournemouth was a nice city, and Poole also nice. Lovely place to retire to! I remember a 4-0 whipping, not too many years ago - midweek game as we nearly didn’t make it down there and walked in just as it kicked-off. Should have known the signs and just turned around.
September 3, 2024Sep 3 Not as nice as it was when I lived 12 miles to the north as a lad. In fact, it’s getting a bit rough these days. South coast from there to Lymington has more funeral parlours than anywhere else I’ve been. You can keep it. Glad I left.

South coast from there to Lymington has more funeral parlours than anywhere else I’ve been. You can keep it. Glad I left. "When I were a lad "..have this vague recall of reading somewhere that Bournemouth had the best looking girls in the country...where and why I read it is too far back to remember . Perhaps that's where The Cherries nick name originated? ...my only other two visits ...a stop off en route by coach to somewhere further west and a trip down from Hampshire to catch a Tom Paxton concert sometime in the 80's. Added..funny how the mind works!,,a memory of the stop off ..a boat on the beach named "Angela"...must have been '65 !..Lord I feel OG writing that!
September 3, 2024Sep 3 I’ll support that - there were some right good lookers in Bournemouth. Not so many Cherries though - they got lost quickly … my birthday today, further confirming me as an OG , so I claim the right to reminisce.

September 4, 2024Sep 4 Kepa is going to put in a MOTM. Edit: OR NOT! Ok I changed my vote. Edited September 4, 2024Sep 4 by CarefreeMuratcan
September 4, 2024Sep 4 Lived near there for ten years and never heard that. Brilliant, and totally applicable!

September 4, 2024Sep 4 We're very likely to concede regardless of XI so be bold, brave and stupid and go with 5 up front: Jackson Neto, Palmer, Felix, Madueke Caicedo Cucu, Colwil, Fofana, Disasi (Gusto if fit) Sanchez A 4-4 draw - what fun!
September 5, 2024Sep 5 I would start Nkunku for this one seeing as he has no international call up. The other players will return knackered from their call ups Edited September 5, 2024Sep 5 by Miguelito07
September 6, 2024Sep 6 Author The biggest concern for this one is RB... presume it will be Disasi, which is a worry!
September 6, 2024Sep 6 At this point in time, given our injury issues I’d go with; Sanchez Caicedo Fofana Colwill Cucurella Lavia Madueke KDH Palmer Nkunku Jackson Cucu to tuck in at LCB and Caicedo to play the inverted RB/DM role. I would probably do this even if James is available. Fofana over Disasi only for the partnership. I prefer Disasi every day of the week but it would be too much to draft in both Caicedo and Disasi.
