AFC Bournemouth (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Obviously buzzing with the point, confirming European football for the first time in our clubs history. I think we really did deserve the win, though. We should’ve gone 2-0 up about 3 separate times in the second half, but the goal that you probably deserved on the balance of play did eventually come.

I was confident of the win for large parts of the game, so it’s a bit of a shame we couldn’t have pushed Liverpool for 5th (I personally think Brentford are going to beat them, so it was definitely on). I think we deserve Champions League, personally, but c'est la vie.

The title wasn’t lost today for you; not to be smarmy, but we are a pretty good team on our day and we’re now unbeaten in 17. It was games like Everton and Spurs that have done you in for the title. If you’d beaten any of those teams from advantageous positions, I stand by my prediction that Arsenal would have bottled it in the end. I don’t even think you played badly at all, tbh, I thought it was a good game against an elite team that was probably running on fumes. There’s really no shame in that.

I’m just a tinpot fan of a tinpot club at the end of the day, but I think you should all take this moment to reflect on what a phenomenal decade you’ve all had. As a neutral, Pep has been a joy to watch (the oddball that he is). Champions League, 6 PL titles, a treble, 4 in a row. How many of you would have thought that would happen 15 years ago?! It doesn’t really get any better than that. I would be very, very surprised if you don’t win another title or CL in the next couple of years.

Very gracious. And, more importantly, level headed. Yes, I think no one could have complained if you'd run out 2-0 winners. Very curious to see how you do in Europe next season. Good luck.

Vinnie did.

You didn't direct your original question to me - I was just correcting your oversight, as above.

But I will say one thing - if Erl had been playing for them last night, he'd have likely scored a hat-trick.

Not enough rest after the cup final

We looked shot, hardly surprising when Bournmouth had 12 days rest and we had less than 3.
It was a little worrying though how easily they cut through us and at times ran us ragged. With respect this was Bournmouth, a tiny club operating on a fraction of our budget, who have to sell all their best players and with our resources and squad it shouldn't happen.
It could have been 5-2.
 
If that game had taken place last, say October, we'd be pretty pleased with a point from the erstwhile Div III South team. And let's not forget Bournemouth had a gap from last match to last night of ten days. We had a four hundred mile round trip to Wembers and then a three hundred mile excursion to the shitty south coast. It's gotta take it's toll no matter how fit players are. I think last night was an admirable performance, considering.
 
The game came at the worst possible time for us.
A few days after the cup final against the hardest working team in the Prem away at the other end of the country.

Sadly it was just a little too much but the title wasn't lost due to the draw here it was the dropped points to the likes of west ham, forest, Everton ect.

In a human population studies, when you study the distribution of an individual characteristic the distribution will typically take on a Bell distribution. Standard deviation is the measure you are looking for to describe degrees of uniqueness which as you say is a misnomer.

Agree. That game last night isn’t what cost us, a point away against a strong side would have been fine in other context.

Taking 1 point from two games vs Spurs, throwing away leads vs Brighton (twice!), Forest & West Ham, those are the games that we have paid the price for.

Agree with every word. We just ran out of steam. Fantastic achievement for your club. City have been superb at times this season but we lost too many points before Christmas. We will be back. The only thing that grates with me is that an anti-football team won the title.

The unmistakable telltale symptomatology of post-seasonular footballistic desolation has rendered itself unambiguously, nay, devastatingly conspicuous.
