    Yes noticeable how when Richardson stumbles into Smith all of the Bournemouth players in the playground stick their hands up and wave at the ref, a well drilled out move straight from from training ground by Headmaster Howe!

    It wouldn't surprise me if it was pre-planned, and that's not to say Bournemouth would be the first (or last) team to do such a thing.

    I think the Sainted Eddie is the master of such planning.
    Tindall spends most of a game berating the fourth official and generally making a nuisance of himself.
    Having said that Chas is an absolute buffoon for obliging so easily.

    Alhough it has to be said that both red cards should really have been yellow - even if I'm glad they weten't

    Smith is a really unlikeable player along with Arter now of Cardiff. The other Bournemouth players seem okay to me.

    Lets face it although Bournemouth are the team lots of our fans love to hate, they have done extremely well to stay in the division for as long as us on their limited resources, something we couldn't do in 99/00 and 06/07. There's a lot of teams in the championship that would like to be in their position!

    Their owner is richer than Gino.

    Don't be fooled by 12k capacity of their Subbuteo stadium.

    Must be a whoosh given the money they have spent. Bank-rolled.

    It's not just about having a rich owner, remember Leeds and the amount of money they spent once!

    You forgot Steve Cook, who is only an unnecessary semi-circle away from having an accurate surname.

    Also, Charlie Daniels isn't quite as vile as the other three, but still a bit of an oaf.

    Wonder who Dyche will blame for his 3rd defeat in a row.

    ?? Now you've lost me. I thought you were saying they had done well to stay in this league by spending almost nothing ? They have spent loads cos they can afford to !

    What I was saying (or meant to) was that when Leeds got themselves into the Champions League and I think into the semi final they overspent on players, players contracts, flowers and fish (Peter Ridsdale) Slid out of the Premier league the next season and have been in the championship ever since!

    Oh come on!
    Who amongst us cannot say they have spent £250,000 on fish?!
    It's so easy to do.

    The decision is between spending £1 each on lots of fish or £250k on one ******* huge one.

    That's not quite true is it?
    Ridsdale was spending LUFC cash on decorative aquatic life and fauna.
    SEJ was spending his own money in his own homes I thought?
    And you can't spell Viola!

    Interestingly he conceded that they deserved to lose....it’s just not fashionable to do that when losing to Watford. Although was surprised when Roy said yesterday that a draw would be a fair result. Expected him to say they should have won.

    Amazing how many times when Watford win the opposition find an excuse rather than give some credit.

    A sartorial comment on the Man Utd vs Spurs game. With its dark horizontal stripes around the waist the Man Utd kit makes them all look they’ve got bellies. It’s Luke Shaw I feel sorry for because he’s got one anyway so this only makes it worse.

    Phil Jones is awful. Lucas Moura does him for skill and he just shoves him to the ground. Ref doesn’t have the mental strength to give an obvious penalty.

    Neither team look particularly great. I’m not sure why Harry Kane keeps playing so deep on the left.

    I fear Lucas Moura next week. He looks a right handful. The kind of fast, tricky and strong player we’ll struggle against.

    Top of the table clash it is then next weekend! Spurs will probably wipe the floor with us but Utd are there for the taking at the moment.

    My neighbour popped in for the second half and she is a Spurs fan.
    My word I know they are inclined to be pessimistic but she takes the biscuit,shouting at the tv whenever Utd approached the Spurs goal and this was at 2-0!
    Lord help her if they are going for the title and have a close game in the run in,she'll need a pacemaker!

    How very modern and tolerant.

    Allowing Spurs fans in your house. Wouldn't countenance it meself, but each to their own.

    I hope you put some newspaper down on the carpet first though.
