Actually David James has ****ed off to Iceland. ;) Although that probably strengthens their squad. <whistle>
 
Bournemouth's Squad: (not all permanent or there now - due to loans/terminations etc)

GK: Jalal, James, Flahavan, Allsop.
DEF: Francis, Purches, Cook, Elphick, Addison, Seaborne, Daniels.
MID: McDermott, Partington, Arter, MacDonald, Fogden, Hughes, Fraser, McQuoid, Pugh, Ritchie.
ATT: Grabban, Pitman, Demouge, Tubbs, Fletcher.


It may just be me, but I'd expect that side to be right up the top end of the table, fighting for promotion.
Absolutely, the strikers alone should give any League one club a chance of Promotion, Brett Pitman is also the highest paid player in the league and the most expensive commanded transfer fee.
 
Back to the Play Offs.....(as much as I enjoy a David James abuse thread), I reckon Leicester v's Brighton final with.....wait for it......Poyet leading the Gulls to the promised land. Shock horror.

What a total nightmare! I do not want Brig town thinking they are now Saints rivals, snivelling little hovel.
 
Brighton, as we still have to show them who is the top south coast club. Yeovil, so that a Somerset team will be in a higher league than either Bristol team (possibly for the first time ever?), and Northampton, because the rugby team from there is known as the Saints.

That'll do for me too.

I have no problem with Poyet. Good player and manager. He'd be an interesting addition to the Premier League, and I'd like another South Coast club in the PL alongside us. I agree about Yeovil Town. Another Southern club doing well is good news. In L2 I think I have to go with Bradford. Their tremendous run, this season, showed how much it meant to their supporters. I think it would be the deserved icing on the cake for them. Northampton Town next season..!
 
I am ****ting my pants in fear of the though of one of these teams being in the Premier League next season.
 
Real battle tonight between Eagles and Seagulls. The fans really hate each other but I don't know why. It's not as if it's a local derby. Anyone know?
