They’ve had a hardcore cadre of fans that stuck by them even when they fell into the third tier. The inference by some they’ve got no fans is the kind of brain dead observation made by their brain dead neighbours who play in red

Amazing what happens when the place isn’t plastered with Sh#te D1r@ct and the club isn’t considered a toxic brand anymore. Almost like an allegedly intelligent businessman didn’t realise the licence to print money he had

I’m still awaiting the FA to invite Real Madrid to this years FA cup and us to be drawn away there ? -
This last page has read like a prime era Finbar Saunders story ?

Chronicle website article so get the adblocker ready, but thought the article itself said a great deal about what a few ex-Bournemouth players clearly already knew https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/andy-carroll-reveals-truth-over-28182028

Your own football ability - how good are/were you?

Wet casers were one thing, but I always remember those moulded Mitre balls that every school seemed to have, would be instant an dead leg if you were foolish to even attempt cusioning it with your thigh. Made even worse if said game happened to be in January or February ? -

Sorry if that came across as having a go, really wasn’t my intention. I was trying to say that even amongst the lads in my peer group who should’ve gone on to bigger and better things, they all say that Jamie was the best they’d ever stepped on a pitch with. -

Well as much as i think some of my peers were daft not to apply themselves for a bit, at least none of them went the route of Jamie Burt. Who every one of them say is the best player they ever played with by a country mile. -

Must be about five or so years older than Moi then, I was still at West Sleekburn in 1990. Bedlington's vintage around 1994 wasnt bad either. Definitely two or three who should've gone on to bigger and better things, if theyd had a better head on their shoulders, as the technical ability was there; clearly not the application -

I was just a speed merchant, who due to an eye condition had cracking finishing one week out of three. I used to hold my own with the lads who ended up at academies (Mainly by applying the Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard), but none of them made it Pro. The main notable one having the nickname Disco Lawson in the Northern League, may have suggested why he didn’t make it ? -
Newcastle United vs. Chelsea: 25/11/23 @ 15:00 (No UK TV)

I mean 4 of them were against a 9 man Spurs team who persisted playing a comically high line, but yeah it’s not the home banker we all anticipated a month or so ago. -
Financial Fair Play / Profit & Sustainability

But that surely is where FFP and its aims are fundamentally wrong. Why is it the clubs and fans who end up dealing with the consequences, whilst the owners who cause the issues walk off into the sunset. Surely a rule change to make the Owners legally responsible for any issues, would make the actual claimed rationale for FFP far more effective? -
You do you fella, I think I’ll allow the majority of women, including trans women to speak on that. I think more middle aged men would do well to do the same

Trans exclusionary radical feminist. Basically someone who doesn’t think Trans people have a right to exist and be safe. think JK Rowling for a famous example
-
Well I think we can clearly tell that whatever job you do, you’re certainly not paid to do much in the way of thinking

I enjoy the Longstaff hate, several instances of him falling over should’ve been free kicks like. But aye berate the lad for being fouled ??
-
Beautiful assist by Willock that like, the way he’s playing today you can guarantee he wouldn’t be able to play that pass in their box
-
This becomes even more of a problem when you factor in the noise generated by the social media wallopers, who clearly don’t know the rules. If I hear one more influencer mention that they didn’t check for handball for our goal. I mean it’s not like the accidental handball rules have been in place for ages. likewise that AFTV windowlicker Lee trying to say that the gaol had to be offside because there always has to be two players behind the ball if a pass is made. He must’ve been really confused watching Chelsea spring the offside trap and beating the keeper with 2v1 last night FFS ?? And what ends up happening is despite them not knowing the rules, they berate the officials and start building conspiracy narratives.

He's definitely been out injured a bit like https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ex-newcastle-united-winger-allan-27963593

I'd forgotten about Tiote getting sent off for a similar tackle in a cup game a while ago, when he was a good meter in front of the player and nowhere near making contact. The rationale being there was excessive force and it was out of control. So how is it less of an issue when Havertz does the same but just lands a glancing blow on Longstaff's shin?

I'm still raging about the assaults they dished out to Ginola in '95. It’s what made me laugh about their reaction to the 0-0 at their place their literal identity was about defensive solidity for decades. Then again they’re that silent as a fanbase now I doubt half of the current lot have ever heard 1-0 to the Arsenal be sung

The one in the second half, it wasn’t in the throat it was a push in the chest to get away after a turn and Jorginho went down holding his face. Neville was playing it up as usual, half paused when you clearly saw there was no contact with his face made and then attempted to double down
