AFC Bournemouth H [PL] 12:30 Sat 15th April 2017

[Dorset]

We have the early kick off again next Saturday and there will be no scandal, controversy or arguments about kick-off time as I'm flying home on Saturday, so the match will start everywhere in the world at 12:30 Dorset Time.

When we win this game we will extend our winning run at WHL to loads, I have lost count now, the number is yuge. We will also widen the yawning chasm, the Grand Canyon of gaps between us and Arsenal to 17 points. The last time that happened in the Premier League was - it has never happened in the Premier League, that is an infinite number of years, a yuge number infinity, really yuge. The pressure will then be piled onto Arsenal to win at Middlesbrough - a defeat there would be the end for them, Middlesborough haven't won a PL game since December last year.

In the olden days I would have said that Chelsea have a tough game against United, but United have only won 1 of their last 6 home games, let's hope they make that 2 on Sunday. Who knows, football eh?

Harry Kane should be fully fit for this game and I will sneer at anyone who suggest we warp him in cotton wool before the NLD, which will see the first ever celebration of Saint Bumholian's day. Bournemouth have only won 2 of their away games this season, we have not lost a home game so far and are on a club record Premiership winning run of 11 home wins, so let's make that 12. COYS.

Looking forward to a nice early kick off again! Put the pressure on all the teams around us, get the win lads! Make Chelsea sweat, make Arsenal sweat.
I agree with you on Kane too @Dorset, if he was likely to be wrapped up in cotton wool for the Chavs or Goons games he'd have probably been left out of last weeks team too though, maybe, maybe not. I think he got enough time out against Watford without any issues to get played for a full match or a large part of a full match this week. Let's just keep picking up the wins and see if Chelsea crack!

Marvellous, what a wonderful Tuesday, that's Lunes if you're in Spain somewhere. The Bournemouth matchday thread is up.....they will be our next victims, less of a pushover than those Watford bully-boys who we let off lightly, but we should win. I too will sneer at anyone who 'warps' Harry Kane, or who tries to transfer him to Star Trek in any way.......

Last night some of us watched the Scum being humiliated by that great footballing power that is Crystal Palace. It was a joyous 90 minutes with Walcott as captain and when their best players became invisible, the only downside is that Wenger may leave, along with Sanchez and Ozil.

So Bournemouth, tough little cookies and we all secretly like them, a difficult 0-0 draw in the away game needs to be put right. They're great at home but not so good on the road. We will win, possibly not by our favourite number - 4 but 3-1 maybe. This week's prediction for goal scorers is Kane and Dele, Harry likes a goal against Bournemouth. I think everyone knows what the team will be don''t they? No? Walker or Trippier....Wanyama back (see what I did there he he) Dier in midfield, actually no-one has a clue, but Poch does and that's good enough for me.... Good luck lads.

Happy Easter everyone pace yourself with the chocolate!! COYS

I was going to edit the 'warp' bit, but I like it, it shall stay. Don't beam him up Scotty.

I am so freaking excited about this game. I saw my chances of getting to the lane one last time before it's knocked down disappearing with every ballot fail. But last night i got a message of joy from the ticket office and I'm now going Shelfside on Saturday.

I'm so excited that i'm gonna have to break from typing to have a little poo...brb

Just in case anyone has any lingering doubts about the result, we've won by at least 4 in the few games that I've been to in the last year, so that's settled.

I'd love Kane to start but have every confidence that the rest of the team can deliver if he doesn't play.

Look at you @Dorset with your shiny graphic, very impressive mate, particularly enjoy all those Ws in the bottom left, at the cock, it was, right lads B'mouth next, what d'ya reckon!

I'd like to see the same team as against Watford with Harry coming in for Vince and Kyle for Tripps but not that bothered on that one. I like us with 3 at the back but the performance the lads put in last week, all be it against a pretty poor side, means they deserve another shot, mainly to fit Sonny in, coz he was well, pretty blindingly good last week and keep Eric in his DM role, we shouldn't need Vic against B'mouth, keep him on his leash for the big boys.

We can always change it up, if things are going tits up.

I stopped buying programmes years ago, but will get this one as it's my last visit.

Gotta go to my bro's.... hope his kodi is working....

 

[birdonaball]

Is it forum etiquette to post straight after your own post? been a while since I've been in here, so hope everyone is doing ok and keeping out of mischief.

Bournemouth, like them most the time. Was disappointed last week with there result against the oil riggers, if I thought anyone out of there remaining fixtures might yank a point off or so off them I thought it might have been them....... which of course sets them up nicely for us.

That of course sounds way to predictable for this league though.

We should have enough to beat them.... as long as our eyes are on tomorrow and not next weekend.

If we're doing the whole prediction thing. 2-1 with Harry and Christian grabbing our goals.

 

[Yid]

Dele will bag... Kane will save it for the Chavs. Son will get one and I fancy a Toby goal too. Clean sheet also.

 

[Finchbee]

Just quick heads up to those going to the game tomorrow. There is no Victoria Line this weekend. So those who use Seven Sisters as their route, find another...​

Thats ok, had me worried

 

[skiathospurs]

Hope those going,especially those saying goodbye have something to remember.
Goals,3pts,17pts gap and wilshere getting subbed.
Poor old tripps had a good game and walker back,also victor loses out to Dier,this is exactly what we need,competition and quality.Same as last week earn the right to have won in 2hrs time,no complacency,stay strong and get the 1st goal,lets not encourage bus!!

 

[corroded]

So that's two nutmeg goals so far....

'Son isn't known for his pace' ... interesting.

 

[skiathospurs]

He doesnt fly in and tackle,but the covering work Eriksen does is incredible,press & get back goal side to his area then track back,the guy is a machine,so much goes un-noticed

There was a stat i think that said eriksen does more mileage in a game than most of the premier league players

 

[Finchbee]

We havent got out of second gear and 2-0 up, will take that

 

[Chavhater01]

Sonny's really coming of age, I wouldn't have been too bothered if we had sold him in the Summer, now he's becoming an integral part of the team. Lamela will do very well to get his spot back.

He is playing for the team now,tracking his runners better,Poch`s system needs all outfield players to work the oppo,poch has made him a better team player and now he is worth starting all the time.

Fans singing "Its happened again" at Wilshere. Hahahaha

I`ve only gone and done the grand slam !!
fucking wilshere good as a goal that.

When he's in the team our movement seems so much better. Always darting around with and without the ball. He and Dele win so many second balls its incredible.
