Superior Acuña Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 That 1-0 on the Road to Wembley, where we won with an own goal, is one of the most boring games I can remember being at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no doubt about it. Just hope that we are at our best from the first kick never giving them a chance or a tiny bit of momentum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I'm not to bothered about the performance for this one cos I really rate their manager but 3 points is all important, I wonder if our 50/1 odds for the title will change if we get them ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 they've won 7 penalties in the PL this season - more than twice as many as anyone else in the league. One to watch out for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Was at the 3-0 game in 89/90, 15k there and it was bloody freezing. Think Gav Peacock played for them then but don't remember him in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we win all our remaining 17 games, we'd only have 89 points total. That's usually not enough for the title. We'll need Liverpool to be below par from now on.

ponsaelius Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Actually think it'll be quite a low points total for the title this year as I do think Arsenal and Liverpool will falter. Can see low 80s being enough ultimately. Obviously it's an absurd suggestion regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If Schar is feeling better I'd have him in for Botman. It might be just me but the balance with the ball just looked off to me. Especially since Wolves allowed our CBs free reign on the ball. It's absolutely not a reflection on Botmans performances mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Difficult game this. Feels like we are not quite at the same level as a couple of weeks ago, and they are a very difficult prospect under Iraola. Get the feeling it might end up being a ping pong match and the side that takes their chances wins. Which will be us hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like not letting it turn into a ping pong match is our key to winning this. We control the type of game it is and minimise their ability to hurt us in their attacking transitions and we get 3 points. Not getting pulled into that sort of game also negates their shithouse cynical fouling on teams breaking on them that doesn't often get mentioned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggies Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Bournemouth are a good team, but we are exceptional at the moment. Feeling more confident than others about this one. Edited January 16 by Maggies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s the other way around. This is where their unbeaten run comes to an end, this will be one too many games for them and their lack of options.

Ronson333 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Bournemouth only have 13 fit first team players, our subs might be a big factor here. Bournemouth were out on their feet last 15 minutes against Chelsea, and looked like conceding every time Chelsea went forward near the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola14 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 this is the last of this crazy 3 games per week period since Mid December and when this amazing run began would be great to cap it with a 10th win in a row hopefully all their injuries will start to catch up with them and we can end their impressive unbeaten run seems like a good time to play them but will probably need to play very well to get the job done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
