Might be sooner than we think if they do go for a legal challenge and win.

Bournemouth to discuss legal challenge

Bournemouth's board is expected to discuss whether to pursue any legal challenge over the goalline technology error in the Aston Villa v Sheffield United match in June.

They have a valid point. That was a shocking decision. Chances are it won’t go anywhere though.

A tough case to win in the Courts I think but m' learned friends will be rubbing their hands at the prospect.

Hopefully a few days consideration before they talk about it will let clearer heads prevail. They will just be throwing money away if they were to go ahead with legal action if nothing else. I reckon you and I could defend that case in court Al.

Leighton Baines retiring from the game. A great servant to Everton over the years and a model professional in the modern game. His partnership down the left with Steven Pienaar was his high point.

Left-back played 420 games for his club and 30 for England before he departed in the same understated way he carried himself through 13 seasons at Goodison

Perhaps a more valid point would be to ask why their manager assembled a squad that was in that position in the first place. It wasn’t a ‘shocking decision’ made in another game that didn’t involve them that got them relegated, it was because they’ve been ***** all season with a strike force that couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo.

That's right. I remember Liverpool playing someone (West Ham ?) on the last day of one season and Dalglish being asked if he was bothered about relegating the opposition. His response was that the reason the other team were in danger of going down was due to being the worst in the division and not because of the outcome of one match.*


Not Dalglish's actual words but this was the gist of his quote.

After a 38 game season the table doesn't lie, Bournemouth must accept it and move on.

I believe Kenny's actual words were:
"Ah dinnae gee ah shyte laddie"

Looks like Mike Ashley will have to look elsewhere to offload NUFC.

I would imagine the PL are glad the consortium has pulled the plug.

Rumours that the Saudi’s put a £15m non refundable deposit down..Nice bit of beer money for Mr Ashley
