Their end was like a throw back to the Trent end and it was a wonderful match I think was 3-0 verses Shrewsbury but could be wrong- on the pitch after - great fun. If you’d had said that day that Bournemouth would spend more time in the top division than us I’d have had you committed.

Roll on though and after their time in the sun, more FFP cheating than Derby and the unfair parachute payments meaning they can go on and sign a new spine of the side in January and any fondness has disappeared. I have turned down the chance to go and sit in the home end to watch at home with my lad.

Hope we piss on their chips

Me too but 2 points out of six is a bit of a problem and will set us back.

Four points from Blackburn and Stoke is reasonable. 

My glass is half full.

Think he is over rated as a manager, just landed on his feet with the clubs he has inherited.

Yep. He's reaping the rewards of having a successful playing career in London. He'll be found out as a maanger sooner or later. Hope his downfall starts on Friday.

I think Harry Arter is married to his sister too.

I know Bournemouth bought a near new team this jan but we shouldn’t fear them they were 1 down to Blackpool yesterday if they can score first so can we!

I'm being a bit pedantic, but Cook couldn't get in Bournemouth side ahead of their central defenders.....then again their manager finished 4th with far and away best squad in the league 2 seasons ago  then came straight back down (with Fulham) so maybe his opinion isn't all that.

You are right Zico, but don't you think Cook will use that as a stick to beat Bournemouth with? He will be out to prove a point, that he WAS good enough for their side and STILL is good enough!
