AFC Bournemouth (H) | Sat 13th Aug, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Bournemouth used to be a nice and generally sporting footballing side under Howe, if a little bit soft. All changed now, they are a big, physical outfit nowadays with more than a couple who are willing to put their foot in. Win, clean sheet and no injuries will do me

---------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Ake---Cancelo
----------------Rodri
------Bernardo-----De Bruyne
Mahrez-------Haaland-------Foden

U sure Mahrez will get d nod?

Kick off time 15:00 (BST).

Not on TV in the UK but there are ways.

2nd v 4th in this top of the table clash. Bournemouth were many peoples favourites to go down and they probably still are but they started the season with an impressive win versus Villa. That said they probably wouldn't have enjoyed watching what we just did to West Ham.

I think from a City perspective we'd like to see us create a few more clear cut chances, Haaland looks really sharp and he'll fancy getting on the scoresheet again in this one.

It could be a good game to test one of our young full backs.

No injury news that we know of.

My predicted line-up:
---------------Ederson
Walker---Stones---Dias---Cancelo
----------------Rodri
------Bernardo-----De Bruyne
Mahrez-------Haaland-------Foden

Why do you think Mahrej starts?

That Senessi of theirs was called "the Gladiator" when he was with Rotterdam. BFC fans forum saying their players will all be having a go at De Bruyne's ankles.

That Mr Bankes must be getting on a bit, he used to be regularly spotted at Maine Road

Many on the board,especially the transfer forum twitter wankers,will not have a clue what you are talking about.

I remember in 1971 my home team Margate lost 11-0 away to Bournemouth in an FA Cup tie. Ted McDougal if any of you old guys remember scored 9 goals in that match.
