You have to take your hat off to them, no stars, small, nay tiny ground, no real pedigree and almost bankrupt six years ago. Now they are the champions (of the Championship) and going into the PL with all of it's riches, first time ever in the top flight and what a difference to their usual habitat, mostly spent in the basement divisions. I wish them well.  |

Fantastic day for the club and all those supporters who have plumbed the depths. As a fan we go through all the ups and downs so good luck to them next year because they'll need every bit of it. All those fans will be dying for the fixtures coming out just like we've done and the prospect of the Man U's Arsenal's and Spurs coming will be hard to wait for. We've all been there at some time.
Unfortunately they will quickly realise the bad side of life in the PL with bigger clubs pinching and unsettling their better players and referees working against them. They will quickly see the "professional" side will come out as they are ridiculed. Anyway, good luck to them I really hope hey enjoy their short stay there. But I hope I'm wrong!!

just a quick stat on Bournemouth, when i used to watch channel 4 Serie A coverage they'd always talk about the winter champions...and how 90% of the time the winter champions would win the lge at end of season too. the winter champion was simply the team leading at the halfway stage..no trophy was awarded. www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-championship/2014-2015/table/2014-12-26B/mth had 45 pt's at the halfway stage.( 23 played) ..on top and with a 1 point margin over the 2nd team (ipswich ) www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-championship/2014-2015/tableat end, good symmetry..... 90pt's , 1st place , and with a 1 point lead over 2nd place (watford) so there's consistency for you...45 pt's in each half of the season !!. they had 1.96 points per game so a fraction under the classic old line of..".get 2 pt's per game...win your home games, draw your away ones" for the record, Bolton had 29 pt's at the halfway stage and in 14th place. doubled up that should have been 58 pt's which would have got us to approx 14th/15th place. in the end we finished on 51 pt's in 18th place. surprising that even with DF's poor start (1 win in 10) we still had a better 1st half than 2nd half !! . last season Leicester had 48pt's at the halfway point ( 4 pt lead ) 102 pts at the end...with a 9 pt lead. |
