Because their supporters are dickheads, the only time in 30 years of travelling to Nottingham by train that I've been had trouble was with them this season when they pushed and shoved me and my son.
Clubs should be able to pick any side from their PL squad without anyone batting an eyelid unless something seriously weird is going on (giving the wingers a go in goal etc).
Totally agree. Who is going to be responsible for knowing better than the coach what is the current ( in terms of fitness, form, strategy, development ) best team to play?
If a player is a legitimate member of the registered squad, they are a legitimate pick.... or there would never be any young players coming through, or changes to try new formations or strategies.... and the 'best' players would be run into the ground inside a year.
I understand fans frustrations, but it's a nonsense in terms of being best for a club - which surely all coaches have a right to manage for their best interest. Where best interest is mid and long term as much as this week.
They've won the Champ, League One, the EFL Trophy and the Football League Third Division South Cup, so clearly very successful (for a south coast team).
They are also officially called AFC Bournemouth to ensure they are first alphabetically, and it is for this reason I now hate them
It's probably the majority that are dickheads. There's a good chunk of this country that are, and the proportion in a football crowd is higher than general population.
Still hate the cunts from Bournemouth the most though.
