Bournemouth don't look too bad though. Fairly impressed with their passing and their style of play. That said, they have rarely been able to express themselves, as they seem to have everyone defending at times.
I know Bournemouth's owner is not exactly hard up, but i don't know why they didn't just spend £1m on a new player instead of paying Madrid to turn up to smash them.
However, it's obviously a game their fans and players will never forget.
not sure if this result will be good or bad for the B'mouth players. They have been stuffed by one of the world's premier clubs and it looks as though RM put out a strongish side. Conversely it may have served as a football lesson for the AFCB players with positive implications. Steve Fletcher, ex long serving player and now AFCB 'ambassador' was on TalkSPORT on Sunday before the RM game. He said words to the effect that 'our season only really starts against Charlton' and the RM match is just a tasty snack for the fans.

Fletcher's has been my own (minority) view all along; I know many Lifers disagree.
