I would argue that in most games this season our second half has been far superior

Yes and I am talking about the clothes of various away crowds we have seen this year,. You do realise football and fashion have been quite closely linked for 40 or so years no mate?

'Scott Parker has got them over the line'

Parker from Thunderbirds could have got them over the line with the amount of money they spunked in January.
Fairplay to them but they made hard work of it despite the odds being heavily weighed in their favour.

How many of those players will be redundant at top flight level. Total short term waste to brute force the way up.

Most fans couldn’t give a toss if opposing fans are wearing three piece suits, suits of armour or are stark naked. But to each his own.

Agreed. Forest trying to stop us singing i just can’t get enough even though they have only been singing it for a year and the fact that Bournemouth is the furthest (for me) away game and hardest to get tickets for , meant I just about wanted bmouth to win more

I would say pretty much all of them, Billing might be able to bully his way for a while and Christie has a bit about him, but Solanke had found his level. They said in commentary that they had three for each position so they must have about 30 championship level players.

How did they nearly mess up? They got promoted with a game to spare. No team goes up oven ready, that’s why they yo yo. The aim is to be promoted, the target now is to find a way to stay up and build on that.

With the strength of squad they have, they should have been promoted weeks ago.

Blows the idea of clubs being sustainable right out of the water. And even with their parachute payments, how can Bournemouth even be close to being within FFP rules? I'm not quite sure their income (remember our food and beverage sales furor) based on their average of 10K attendance would cover the cost of the 3rd string players, let alone the full squad.

What a remarkable story, little old Bournemouth promoted to the premier league again. It’s not like they have been backed by a billionaire, or had parachute payments is it.

Bournemouth squad much stronger. Parker has actually only achieved what pretty much any other manager would also have achieved but sooner.

They got some hefty fees for Danjuma, Ake, Wilson etc which will have offset a fair bit. The parachutes separate to that would’ve been north of £75m

They are back in the big time I'd say Parker would have got Fulham up aswell if he stayed there be interesting to see how he does in the premier league
