    Wow that’s a very strong call for Spurs results. One defeat in that set of games would be phenomenal for them. I think we’ll beat one of either Chelsea or Brighton, I think the Liverpool game will be harder.

    Mr Percy, why put that last dozen words in to kill a positive article when it is unlikely as you say…it puts doubt in our heads. If it’s highly unlikely then don’t write about it (I know it’s your job), we don’t even want to think about Ollie leaving.

    Unai Emery

    Bringing Kimmich and Davies back with them

    Haha fair enough, I incorrectly worded it. I just think the original question, just like the 4th vs ECL question lacks why many of us think 4th is a priority, it was not about short term but potentially long term reasoning.

    Newcastle and Spurs definitely benefited from it, they wouldn’t have been able to spend like they did in the summer and attract Tonali (the transfer not working out so far is by the by) whereas likely have had to sell somebody like Isak had they not qualified for champions league due to FFP. Spurs have regularly benefitted from the financials from Champions League, the fact their recruitment has been poor until this summer just gone is their fault. The Champions League money is why the big six are the big six and only by bad recruitment and decisions is why they aren’t top 6.

    Take it a step further because the question needs more context… Question to Villa fans Would you rather get to play in the Champions League and not win but keep all key players and get CL place next season as well. Or sell Watkins for £100m to Arsenal this summer, win the Europa League Trophy, and finish 10th.

    This is the same discussion as 4th or ECL. It’s money vs trophy more probability of keeping players vs trophy more probability of attracting quality players vs trophy Increasing profile of club vs trophy long term benefit vs short term benefit no trophy now vs a trophy now stabilising at this level vs taking a quick win etc etc it’s such a hard question to answer….thankfully it’s not one or the other.

    We are assuming Archer comes back because of the obligation to buy but Wilder might think Archer is perfect for what they need in the Championship and may want to keep him if a deal could be agreed or extension of the current deal with slight amendments. Just because his limited use in PL, he could be perfect for what they want in the Championship.

    Cole Palmer is out ill for the game which is a big blow for them but wondering if he’ll be back for our game Saturday. Having him not play against us would be a big positive for us and deflate them I guess.

    Slightly adjusted!

    That’s too funny!!!

    Maybe go a bit further if it’s Heck badge, let’s go with a transparent version, like completely transparent, so much so that it can’t be seen.

    More Bournemouth fans saying how amazing our stadium is and also after the second goal how we were singing loud before and after the goal. We are one of the best group of supporters apparently from the Holte End. I think some of our fans have a different view of our atmosphere generally compared to what unbiased away fans think. Plus a good Vid to watch all the way through giving the oppositions perspective.

    Finally the Ukraine bill passes the house!

    Depends if the rumours of Hermoso coming in are true. If they are I doubt another CB on top of that because he can play LB or CB. We’d then have Hermoso, Mings, Torres, Konsa and Carlos with Lenglet going back to his home club. We might still have Chambers, but whatever we will still have 5 CB’s if Hermoso is true.

    Well I hope it’s better than usual, my nephew loves seeing the players get off the coach but it’s not like when I was younger and the players would come over and sign stuff or at least say hello. They usually park the coach as close to door as possible and difficult for fans to see, and the players get off the coach with headphones on and go straight in. I’ll be there but I hope there is a bit more interaction than usual.

    Some of the photos and sketch work really go in on him…

    I don’t think it has intimidated us, Emery always tries to kill the atmosphere first half and then more expansive second half in away games in Europe. Our passing has been poor and their goal was sublime but they haven’t done much else, just we haven’t done anything.
  22. nick76
    To be fair I’d red card her for doing that
  23. nick76
    Yeah but he’s had his left knee massively wrapped up on the sidelines…hopefully only need him if we are desperate

    Best French team record at home though, even better than PSG.

    The ref is so bad, he’ll probably send himself off
