    I've just gone to bed; I won't sleep now and it's not even my team.

    Don't care if they're on 5 points by Christmas...firing Howe would be utter madness. If ever they get that urge, I'd invite them to take a look at Leicester's results after they (rather surprisingly) opted to reversed course of Pearson; suspect they'd be done and buried if they pulled the trigger.

    hope they stick to their style of football, Leicester abandoned their attacking football when things got abit sticky then could not score for love nor money. Only when they reverted back to the no fear approach have they started scoring again- 12 in 4 games methinks

    Amazing scenes at Bournemouth. Really pleased for them, it cannot be understated how much of a massive achievement this is. Obviously I'll want Saints to take 6 points off them next season, but i'll be hoping they can stay up.

    He said on their official website, that if they went up he had no reason to leave and would gladly stay and play PL for Cherries.

    Well done Bournemouth. Just think, a few short years ago, you were in danger of going out of the Football League. And now you have.

    Delighted for the club - I guess their fans will try and stoke up that weird non-rivalry rivalry again. But saying that, they are also now our actual local rivals rather than that other lot.

    A story similar to ours in some respects although even more remarkable.

    The one thing that strikes me is that, like we were/are, they are a great TEAM. Its possible that none of their players would would make the starting 11 of another Premier League club and yet together they are clearly better than the sum of their parts.

    Their second goal last night really summed up the unselfish way they play. Had that been Liverpool you would have had two players trying to take shots before it got to Ritchie. I hope they all get their chance to play next season.

    (Redknapp)

    Now, I'm hoping this is just typical Redknapp bad English, but this is a quote from the BBC article;

    "If I wasn't involved next year, I'd buy a couple of season tickets and watch them every week."

    What I hope he means is, "If I'm not involved (in football) next year, I'd buy a couple of season tickets and watch them every week."

    What he actually says is something very different!

    Already started to get abuse from friends who are Bournemouth fans. Started to wonder why I even bothered supporting them last night.

    Yeah, that's my problem with it! It's very strange one-way traffic that one. I have B'mouth friends who *hate* Saints. Just odd.

    They're trying to make the claim that if they win the title, they will be a more sucessful team than Saints and will be the same in terms of club size.
