I must admit I did not expect both Villa & Leicester to take 3 points today. So, yeah, pressure well & truly on & I actually feel plying two rivals hampers us. I’d rather be playing Southampton & Everton like Bournemouth.
Mrs G dropping 2 points in one of the opening games you have time to recoup but when you’re in a relegation battle they become more critical. If we need to beat villa to stay up and are 2-0 up but draw 2-2 I would class those 2 as the most important.
jay, you can’t legislate for Leicester self destructing. Man City next up for Bournemouth hopefully normal service with resume. Last day looks dodgy again after today’s results.
That was the most ridiculous game I have seen for the longest time, half time there was no way they looked like scoring and could easily have had six in the second half, unbelievable
ok Bournemouth vs Southampton is a grudge match with both areas hating each other and all that happened this weekend is that we improved our GD vs all the clubs that matter.
Point is, if the appeal is successful, they’ve still been top four for ages and it’s never been in doubt. Tbh, I think if they get the ruling against them they’ll be even more competitive just to show UEFA what they’re missing
Guardiola doesn’t let his teams switch off. It doesn’t happen. They’ve been mostly incredible since Liverpool were crowned champions, and that won’t change against Bournemouth.
Had we been the final team to play this weekend, following wins for Villa, Bournemouth & Watford, & then we had done the business to extend the gap, we’d all be buzzing.
As it is we feel deflated simply because we played first & ‘imagined’ a scenario where we could have been 5/6 points clear if Palace & Leicester had helped us out.

But yes, this hasn't gone our way, but we did our part and if we keep doing our part doesn't matter what the others do
