    9/2 is probably reasonable value. It’s the sort of game they normally just about win but it’s a great time to play them and, more importantly, they’re ****.

    Derby away. Weather looking rather grim so no doubt we'll lose 1-0 in a terrible game of football.

    Just watching the Bournemouth highlights. Said at the start of the season they were my dark horses and they are proving to be a very good outfit

    That Kluivert goal

    And Semenyo's first

    Worldies.

    We’re taking a big turnout to Bristol City and my rude bastard friends are gettting married so I’m schlepping five hours in the wrong direction. There should be no weddings from August - May and everyone needs to understand this.

    Now at Beaconsfield Services which is an elite service station but reminds you what most of the public look and act like. Filth.

    I always think of Bournemouth as the club closest to my lot in size of support at Premier League level. Another club I look at for what if's is Brighton, because they use to ground share with us.

    It does make you wonder when you see a club like Bournemouth second in the Prem with only a capacity of just over 11k.

    My logic when I see their position though at this early stage is it means they are currently 10 points from relegation. In total 14 points and you only needed 26 points last season to avoid relegation, and 27 points the season before that.

    I think it’ll be a lot different this season, mate. The last couple of seasons the promoted teams have never got to grips with the league but Sunderland and Leeds are looking strong this time around.

    I’m already thinking we’ll need 37/38 points to stay up this time around.

    Yeah it's amazing what they are doing, especially with such a small capacity ground.

    They were good last season, but fell away a bit. But I had them in mind this season as I think they'll push for a European place this season.

    Stopped for a piss and there’s a load of Bristol Rovers fans on the way to Walsall. Absolute reprobates. Also odd as I can only be about 20 minutes from Walsall.
