Bournemouth v Watford. Match Thread.

I won't lie, I am falling out of love a little with the game. The Premiership is the 'be all and end all' for so many clubs but the only reason for that is money. A club like us will never really challenge for honours, so all we can expect is to survive up there. Years ago we could have looked at this Saturday with excitement, hoping for an upset - but it now just feels we will go there for damage limitation!

The mentality of 'must win at all costs' is even filtering down to the Championship now, where teams feel they need to con the ref to try and gain wins. I know we ourselves have had people falling over far too easily, but at least we seem to criticise our own players for it rather than try to jusitfy it as 'part of the game now'. It also seems like we have picked up a reputation for it - would FF or Fabbrini have got that 2nd penalty Saturday (or even the first)? Not a chance!

Oh well... sorry for the rant!

Have to agree. Listening to the Suarez debate in the media and WBA refusing to take any action against Anelka just makes me realise how out of touch I seem to be. Sad
