Bournemouth vs Leeds United Match Thread

[Jaydog]

To be honest Jay, they were the better side!

I'll take a bit of luck anytime

So funny when we scored the equaliser in the very last minute.

More please.

I said that they were
But if you are going to rob someone then empty their pockets. We could easily have done that.

Now for the first time I'm getting nervous, this next is the biggest game of the season by a distance.

I agree! Opportunities to play at Wembley are so scarce for most clubs. We have not won the FA Cup for 54 years. So for me, this is a MUCH bigger opportunity than even winning the Championship Trophy last season. After all, we were already promoted.

I will always believe that you play to WIN things. And it would be a big deal to lift the FA Cup!! Let's go you Whites!!!

3 moments I loved

Justin's trap that killed a dropping ball stone dead
Struijk's very intelligent header as Bournemouth tried to break which slowed them right down
Gnonto's lovely pass to start the move that lead to the equalizer

Me on my way to the Spurs forum

Its pretty funny, I've been reading that relegation thread and theres one guy telling everyone there is no way they will catch Leeds with several thinking we will get dragged back down.

Why do they believe they need to catch us when they're much closer to West Ham?

[whiteswan]

Bournemouth will hate his guts.

Who was the ref James?

A lot of them thought we were the most likely to collapse.

[whiteswan]

Yes but we were on Sky Sports Premier League channel and the coverage is supposed to be until 10:45pm. It pisses me off as you can probably tell

Agree....sky peeing up Citeh's backside again. It's all about 'The Title'.....no other games matter. Mind you, Sky did do a job on Leicester last night and today.

[whiteswan]

Can't remember being SO pissed off at any USMNT player not named McKennie. But Adams earned my ire today! He was an outright prick to our supporters. Unacceptable!!

What did he do Paul?

The cup game?

[whiteswan]

Biggest game in 25 years... since the Champions League semi final

Not for me....

[The Subhuman]

The cup game?

Yes ...

All the Sky pundits saying we were lucky. No we weren’t. The ref got big decisions right, backed up by VAR, and we battled hard to share the points.
Okay, Bournemouth were the better side, but we hung in there. That isn’t luck - that is temperament, and we have it in bucket loads.

Agree Orange. This team has amazing resilience. They just never give up. They clearly have faith in one another and the boss.
Its wonderful to see. Sometimes its like having 12 players on the field.

[BlackHillsPaul]

What did he do Paul?

He won his only duel with Aaronson, then grinned and stuck his Tongue out in a showboating manner. He was the only bench player that ran over to celebrate their 60 min goal in front of our supporters. Then made certain gestures, like cupping his ear, toward our supporters after his assist on their 85th min goal. Clearly taunting behavior. All of this was caught on the TV feed. Leeds supporters did nothing but show him love until HE forced his sale instead of sticking around and helping us get back up. Of course that actually worked out for us. I actually hope the SOB is displaced in the USA starting eleven for the World Cup.

I think we forget sometimes that there are two teams in a game of football.

I don't think we always decide to sit back, but if the opposition dominate the ball, dominate the midfield and put pressure on you, you don't have much choice. Bournemouth were the better team tonight.

Agree. They are a very good team. Play really well as a unit.
Coach has done a great job - he'll get plenty of job offers.

I've never liked him. He is a talented footballer but he's arrogant.
He would never fit into Farke's method.

[Victor_OTT_17]

Heck Rodon was bad when he came on!

[White Riot]

Who was the ref James?

Michael Salisbury

We should request him for all of our matches, until he retires

Make that a double with Peter Bankes on VAR duty.

Never saw a match when we were treated so favourably. The Cherries must be livid, and looked and sounded like it last night.

Tough

[White Riot]

Why isn’t Farke playing Bounanotte? What point with having him?

He's been placed in the exclusion zone

Was flying home last night so didn’t see the score until we landed but reading through the match thread this morning was like reading a scary book but knowing there was a happy ending, a real rollercoaster of emotions, brilliant stuff
