    Since relegation from the Premiership ...

    I hear you on your first point - I do think the team is sorely lacking experience, although I'm not convinced he's the best role model! Yes, he had a great career and was probably a good influence on the younger players, but the same is true for Joe Cole. I won't labour the point as this is...

    Since relegation from the Premiership ...

    Keane played brilliantly for us for 30 games, and more or less reproduced that at various clubs everywhere else he went in his career. What we got for those 30 games was essentially what a year of Robbie Keane gives you. Dennis Wise had an insane run of 13 games at the twilight of his playing...

    Since relegation from the Premiership ...

    Even Wise himself acknowledged his career was basically over by that point. We gave him the offer of another year, but he didn't want it. No-one else apparently could persuade him otherwise and he never played again. The overhead kicks and shithousery from a name brand player were fun for a...

    Since relegation from the Premiership ...

    Wilson scored 20 goals in the Championship the season after he left us. He was clearly ready for this level, so it would be crazy not to pick him. The other one surely has to be an experienced midfielder with a bit of bite. The fact that people are falling over themselves to pick the ghost of...

    Since relegation from the Premiership ...

    People really think a 40 year-old Dennis Wise could keep up an (admittedly impressive) 13-game stretch over an entire season, huh?

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    He would automatically take over as president until the next inauguration. The Republican Party would have to decide who their candidate would be in the election - would almost certainly be Pence but in theory they could choose anyone.

    This was basically what McFadzean was saying in preseason - that as a priority, the team needed some old heads to get the team through tough patches (He would say that, I suppose). I was amazed that Robins didn't even try to get in some extra experience at this level. Personally think we need...

    Meltdown Central Forum

    Bournemouth are a bigger team than us by pretty much every metric. Not saying I'm happy about it, or will last forever, but it's true right now.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Not sure where you're hearing all that from... The line of succession is clear: the VP first, then the Speaker. Even if Pelosi did somehow become president (would mean both Trump and Pence keeling over) then any Supreme Court nomination she made wouldn't have a chance in hell in the current...

    Getting airlifted to hospital "as a precaution". Helicopter parked on the lawn of the White House right now. Insane stuff.

    You can tell it's been a while since this forum has seen us get outclassed like that in a league game.

    Bournemouth player ratings

    Marosi – 7 Only player to come out with any real credit Dabo – 6 All the usual energy, none of the usual end product Ostigard – 5 Looked overmatched McFadzean – 5 Same Hyam – 6 Couple of flashy goal-line clearances, although he may have been to blame in the first place Giles – 5 One or...

    Me neither. Turns out there's been a massive deadly pandemic and they're not letting me into the stadium. Health and safety gone mad.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    The election date is set in stone by law, so Congress would have to vote to change it, and I can't see that happening.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    For sure, there is a risk. And yeah, it's one thing to risk it yourself, it's quite another to ask an elderly person to do it! But all I'm saying is, it's important to know what the risks are in the first place. 'Russian Roulette' is just scaremongering - you'd be seeing thousands of...
