Who are they?

Álex Jiménez Ryan Christie

Haven' they lost 2 of their 1stX1 for this game? One following a sending off in their last game and one for dubious texts to an underage girl. Quite a blow for a club of Bournemouth's size

Just had a look. It is Cristie and there right back. Good news for Doku.

Álex Jiménez Ryan Christie

Jimenez is fast so maybe Doku can have an day against whoever fills in. We can only Hope.

It’s Arsenal lads..

I think so too… Not a chance they fuck it up from here

They’ve got PGMOL onside

If they win it by a few points, ill always refer to it as the Darren England title:
1) Failed to send off Gabriel for a clear punch on the Newcastle striker, not even booked. Gabriel then scores winner
2) Denies Chelsea 2 of the clearest penalties you will see v Arsenal in a 2-1 defeat.
3) Denies us 3 blatant penalties at home to Forest.
4) Chooses to ignore all the fouls by Arsenal before the foul on the keeper v West Ham

8 point swing to Arsenal via these decisions alone, let alone thier fouling on corners from the 1st game of the season, a clear foul on the Rags keeper in the 1-0 win

The press will be difficult to play around. Have the balls to go long. Hit it into the channels. They will pounce on our slow play.

The press will be difficult to play around, fat free loaders everywhere ;-)

I can't think that far ahead of tomorrow night. I'm 6 beers deep, and thinking of opening a good luck bottle of claret.

It'll be Adam Smith and he'll kick fuck out of Doku, with impunity.

 

[Baconsane]

I know one thing for sure- I won't be following the match day thread with all the piss flappers.

Maybe a penalty?

Not a game to play slow. Can't see we keep them out either. Just avoid that horror period when they are on top of us and score 2-3 from 3-4 shots quick succession style.

2-1 win maybe if midfield does help defence and we don't miss most chances.

 

[RayCTID]

Still a game to be won regardless what has happened.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Bournemouth 0 City 1
City 1 Villa 0
Palace 1 Arsenal 1

Win on goal difference!

 

[ste.sully]

I am expecting a tricky game. However we have a great record against them and we are their bogey team.

 

[eversince 76]

Maybe we get decisions our way tomorrow if the PL wants the title to be won on the last day??
Just kidding. Or am I …

Anyways, Bournemouth have a fantastic season, 10 days to prepare, can still qualify for the chimps league, last game at home and they obviously want their manager to have the best of goodbyes.
However … we won a cup.

Lets get the win by whatever way with whatever starting 11 and make these Arse-fans biting their nails up until Sunday, because I’m sure they sort of less expect us to drop points.

 

[DiscoSteve]

I am so glad I decided to go to this one, with a stopover to so no long haul coach back - get a win, possibly Pep's last away game and set us up for the weekend when hopefully the gooners f*ck it up!

 

[citymad]

Was really looking forward to tomorrow’s game till today’s news. I’m all out of sorts.

 

[citymad]

It’ll be non stop “we’ve got guardiola… sung with gusto and I suspect a few tears.

 

[Tevez City]

They haven't lost a game in the league since they sold Semenyo !
