Remember bournemouth

[broadstone fox]

Remember when Bournemouth and Fulham trounced the championship.

Both promoted with ease.Their first game at Anfield lost 9.0.

Scott parker came out and said the squad ill-equipped  to cope with epl league. He was subsequently sacked by the board for running the squad and board down for not reinforcing before the campaign started.

Parallels to Bournemouth ?

Yeah but at least they have a nice beach.

No, because we'd replace Cooper with Parker.

Yeh I remember Bournemouth, nice town, very poor stadium for this level of football

I thought the thread title was referring to 1-4 and unfortunately I can't forget that

I quite like it there. I wouldn’t want a home ground like it, but it makes a nice change for an away day

see the problem is we had a manager doing the exact same thing at the time and didn't sack him. sacking cooper now would be an admission that they made a mistake and this board is all about blaming others for their own cockups

Same. The start of our demise really. 

 

Don't think I've felt good/optimistic about Leicester after that. Really was the end of the golden era.

This just made me think of this! 😄 🤣

tbf the season after was statistically our second best ever. But I agree the roots of our downfall are to be found in 19/20

honestly I would say the start of our demise was earlier than that, it was winter 2019 and giving Rodgers a new mega contract that had him being paid more than the real Madrid manager. daft contract to hand out at any time for a club of our size, even more so when he was barely 20 games in charge and still in his honeymoon period. became a huge millstone around our neck

How could I forget 🍆🍑

Actually this season is starting to reminds me of this

 

Different manager and boat name but the sinking feeling is there

 

or this

 

Never thought we'd be reliving this mess

Parker has not managed a Premier League game since those comments. Bournemouth stayed up against the odds and then have properly built on it, now people would be quite surprised if they went down this season. They're a club who've got their shit together. Fair play to them.

What is it with these odd threads? I think people are actually going insane…….

There once was a woman from Ealing, who had a peculiar feeling, she lay on her back and opened her crack and pissed all over the ceiling.
