    Bournemouth are currently in the worst form in the league, and yes, that even includes Huddersfield.

    Weren't they pretty bad at the end of last season as well? I mean, they even lost to us.

    Am I alone in thinking Eddie Howe will move on at the end of the season ?

    What's done it for me , is the postponement of the new stadium .

    They do invest A LOT into the playing squad, it's just they invest most of it poorly. Otherwise they should really be up there as best of the rest. Thinking of where he would go if he did leave, maybe Everton? Maybe Crystal Palace...Don't know whether he has done enough to interest Spurs if Poch goes in the summer.

    It's quite useful for us therefore that the only side currently below them who they don't have to still play is Cardiff.

    Indeed...although, all it takes is one win and they'll probably go and win 5 on the trot. It's what they seem to do.

    I have no idea what their accounts look like or how much they pay in wages. They have rich owners that are happy to pump money in and I guess the wage cap would potentially be the only issue. They probably just have a well structured wage regime unlike us.

    Doesn’t matter too much but Fulham really are gone.

    On the Total Saints Podcast after the Fulham game, Adam Leitch said that if only we had gone in for Mitrovic before Fulham signed him permanently last summer, we would be in the top half now. I’d have him in a heartbeat, even though he’s a red card waiting to happen.

    I've been saying I'd like him for a couple years.

    From Fulham I’d take Sessegnon, Seri and Mitrovic
