The extra problem for Burnley is that I just don't see them buying their way out of trouble next month.
He's been doing it for most of this season, but often hidden away towards the end of MOTD. Obviously doing at the Emirates, live on Sky, gets a whole lot more coverage. Absolutely a deflection tactic. But one which just turns the neutrals against him. (Although I didn't buy into the Dyche love-in last season.) Boo - Delph will be suspended against us. Wanted him to play!
Every season there’s a team that starts well, before plummeting down the table, to hover just above the relegation zone. Is Bournemouth going to be that team, this season, or are they just having a sticky period? They seem to have struggled for the last two months, compared to the previous months.
Predicted it at the start of the season. I think people really underestimated the impact VVD would have on them.
Story of Bmouth's PL life to date. They regularly go on these runs of wins or defeats (although on this occasion there's been a clear shift in the difficulty level of the fixtures. A real easy first quarter of the season on paper, followed by a horrid second quarter of the season). Don't forget that Burnley lost something like eight games in a row last season, and only dropped from 6th to 7th (or something like that).
Burnley lose (get thrashed at home!) Newcastle lose Huddersfield lose Palace draw Cardiff draw Fulham draw Other than one more Wolves goal, I think that's what the call a perfect set of results!
Interesting new perspectives: Man City are ****e Bournemouth are unlucky Liverpool are unbeatable Spurs are brilliant Saints are brilliant Burnley are ****e Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield are going down (til next week)
There's every chance that Bournemouth will be picked apart by the vultures in January, we could actually finish above them.
