Mmm, not a bad shout Homer. Another Southampton maybe...

Not sure about that and even if they go back down, providing they play with the pace and movement they've shown this season they'll win over many fans. Of course if they could survive and there are some average sides in the bottom six-eight of the PL then who knows unless second season syndrome kicks in
 
What a night. 36 years since my first game as a 4 year old. Never thought they would be in the premier league

just hope I can get tickets for games next year!
 
I hope Bournemouth do well next season and there expectations aren't set too high.

I doubt they'll be the whipping boys though.
 
Congrats to Bournemouth! :whoo: Thoroughly deserved. They are the best footballing side in the Championship I've ever seen (yes, ever), with my beloved Watford just behind. For comparison, they are a better version of the Swansea side that went up recently.

Watford are top and won more games because they know how to win ugly as well as pretty :D. Took us four managers in one season, mind. :D

Bournemouth should easily stay in the Prem if they stick to what they are good at.

My tips for the playoff is either Norwich or Ipswich.

I have to agree with your assessment. Bournemouth the best pass and move side and their pace of play is sensational. Watford demolished Fulham and played a more direct type of football but in no way could you call it long ball. They seemed more "street wise" and how to grind out a tough 1-0

That's why we all love the game! Really happy for ya enjoy the ride but you are right, those tickets will be like rocking horse poop but the atmosphere should be immense.
 
I can remember the excitement when Tigana and Al Fayed got Fulham doing the same thing marching through the leagues and into the promised land. We lasted thirteen seasons so no reason why you can't do the same

Will be very interesting to see if any of the big boys come searching for Howe. Seems a good fit for Arsenal....

I would think (well hope) that Howe would want to see the job through. Surely as such a young manager he'll need to learn his trade in the PL and then can move to bigger and better in a few seasons

What's bigger and better than doing it all with the club you have played for since 10, supported all your life and from the town you grew up in!

I can't see him leaving Bournemouth unless it is to become England manager, something I have been saying he will be for a few years now!

Do you really think if one of the big clubs came calling he would say no ?

Surely he will have ambitions to move forward in his career ?

I think he would for the foreseeable future, he is a Bournemouth lad through and through its one of the reasons he left burnley as his and JT family couldn't settle there.

I know a few people in the game and they often put their family at a young age ahead of money. He is already a very wealthy young man. It is only London clubs that could tempt him but not for 4-5 years

The very fact he left once doesn't relally strenghten the arghument that he wont again imo.

From what i've seen of him, he seems a nice approachable manager, good tactics and good with fans and players. That said, if you cn leave your club for probably similar pay and what was thought to be a better chance of promotion. Then i can't see why he'd turn down a crack at CL footy and more money than he possibly dreamed of.

He previously moved from a L1 club to a club knocking on the door of the Prem. The fact that he realised that wasn't what he was about and came back (instead of moving on to no doubt a number of other Championship clubs who woudl have taken him) says a lot about him IMO.

I don't think he will be at Bournemouth from now until he retires, but I would be surprised to see him leave in the next couple of years. A season or two in the prem, consolidate in teh Championship, back up to the Prem, cling on in the Prem, settle eventually, and become one of the many fighting for mid season places. At that point he is allowed to leave if he wants ;)

i agree I don't think he will leave yet. Quite simply non e of the big clubs will take a punt. So why would he leave?

But if a top 6 team were to make an offer I'm sure he would run off. Whether fans want him to or not?

I I agree he could have gone back to a different championship squad. But choosing between bmouth and Bolton is a lot easier than turning down cl to stay at his club.
 
Strange how Redknapp suddenly keeps popping up and reminding everybody about what a triffic club it is, and what a triffic lad Eddie is.Part of me thinks he's trying to weasle himself in there now they have a nice wealthy Russian owner. If he gets brought in then the best thing Howe could do is resign on the spot!
