    Horrible result for Bournemouth. I hope they can recover from this shock but I have my doubts.

    They will. Fans will be pissed but it gets rid of a needless distraction. With the players they've added they will get 2nd in the league and promotion IMO.

    Well I hope you are right but Bournemouth have been very very flaky since November, and that result tonight won't have boosted their confidence. I also sense.that Forest and Sheffield United are going to become massively involved in the promotion race.

    Boreham Wood players with tears in their eyes there.
    This is the bit about footy the sky six, euro stupid league clubs and fifa will never get.

    Glad I chose to watch this rather than the ACON final.

    Fantastic for Boreham Wood!



    Now over to AFCON Final to see if Bore-em Silly can get another game to go to penalties against Senegal

    Bournemouth fans will be pissed off, but I suspect that fans, and players, of Boreham Wood will indeed get well and truly pissed tonight!

    Pompey lose to a 96th minute goal. Bompey get humiliated on TV.

    Saints play sh*t and still get a win. Not a bad weekend.

    That's a bit like the iceberg doing The Titanic a favour by saving on fuel for a complete crossing

    Do you think Bournemouth will give a **** about tonight if/when they get promoted?

    Of course not, but I suspect that 'Boreham Wood' will be chanted by every opposing fan for the remainder of Bournemouth's season

    I was feel sad when oñe of our local sides is beaten, whether that is our three League teams, or our non-league sides as our área is not exactly the centre of sporting
    success, so it is good when our teams are triumphant whether that is SFC, AFC.Bournemouth or Pompey or our non-league teams!

    Maybe a lone wolf, I don't know. Having got over the shock, the 5th round looks exciting. I would love to be at St Mary's with 32,000 fans for the WHU Cup Game as there will be a super atmósphere.

    They can now focus all their energías on winning this illustrious trophy.

    As you alluded to, perhaps his time there is up. After all the average tenure of PL.managers at a club is less than three years;

    The incident in the tunnel at Oxford was never properly explained.
