Elite european competition. Malmö have no business being in the CL and if you beat Olimpiacos then you deserve to be in it. But that’s the whole point of qualifying

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

One of the first European cup finals I saw Malmö lost to Forest.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wanting fucking Bournemouth to win is rancid. Needs must when the devil drives though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Albion not naming a full bench, Button in nets rather than Johnstone too, presumably they still think he'll go but I'm not sure where, not many PL clubs need a keeper. Southampton maybe? But they have a rather more pressing need at the other end of the pitch.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They have no forward at all really. Be glorious if they get none of the Periera money.

 

[Kenny]

Ah Plucky little Bournemouth are back

Talking about getting to the Prem
"Bournemouth have shown it can happen to anyone"

Yeah, if they ignore FFP rules and set out to con refs week in week out

 

[PuntsWolf]

Albion front 3 looks plenty goody enough for a promotion push for me, it isn’t a strong league. Back 5 solid. Keeper is obviously terrible but don’t know what long term situation is there.

Mowatt was highly rated but then was surprised when I saw him in L1 with Oxford and Barnsley. Must have got back up to decent levels to earn a move.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

As they've just said on comms, 3-4 times now players have gone down under a vague nudge and the ref has played on, as per the Euros. Long may it continue.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Terrible defending by Albion. Just watching a ball roll across the box.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Why are Albion playing in an old Arsenal kit?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

1-1 O'Shea. Good cross in.

 

[Kenny]

Not sure why that was ruled out. Not a foul on anyone as the cross came in

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Phantom foul. If anyone went into the keeper it was the Bournemouth defender.

 

[Deano]

They look like they're going to be a horrible direct set piece side Albion

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Gets you a long way in that league, doesn't it.

Anyway they've had Megson, Pulis and Allardyce in the last 20 years, their tastebuds must already be horribly unrefined.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Quite how they ever thought they were some Black Country Brazil is beyond me. Maybe with the three degrees but that’s forty years ago plus.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They had Mowbray wittering on about "soft feet" and bleating about how they were the better team every time they lost I suppose. That team did play some good stuff but they were laughably soft-centred.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This is all about the set piece. Pulis ball.

 

[Kenny]

Button is such a shit keeper

 

[Trips]

Albion done with the long ball out wide
