OFFICIAL AFC BOURNEMOUTH v NOTTINGHAM FOREST MATCH THREAD

One of the biggest regular season fixtures in recent years in the EFL Championship could determine the destination of the second automatic promotion place as AFC Bournemouth host Nottingham Forest at Dean Court.

Suave Scott Parker's Cherries have been in the top two most of the season, but his largely dire style of football has seen his side stumble towards promotion, winning just 2 out of 7 matches last month. In contrast, ugly Steve Cooper's Forest have been explosive, with a record of 1 point from 7 matches under Chris Hughton transformed into more than two points per game and have only dropped points in 5 of 19 league games in 2022.

The hosts will be promoted with victory, but their visitors will replace them in 2nd on goal difference if they win. A draw keeps the 3 point gap intact for Saturday.

Kick off is at 7:00pm BST with coverage on Sky Sports Football from 6:30pm.

BOU: Travers; Smith, Phillips, Kelly (c), Zemura; Lerma, Cook; Christie, Billing, Anthony; Solanke.
>Subs: Woodman, Laird, Mepham, Brady, Pearson, Dembele, Moore.

NOT: Samba; Worrall (c), Cook, McKenna; Spence, Yates, Zinckernagel, Garner, Colback; Johnson, Surridge.
>Subs: Horvath, Figueiredo, Laryea, Cafu, Lolley, Mighten, Silva.

Who am I supposed to support, lad?

Forrest because they got a little tree for crest

It's been too long, hope to see Forest back in the top flight

Forest obviously. Former European Champions (twice), historic club, good home and away fans, gorgeous riverside ground.
Why wouldn't you want them in the premier league over tinpot parachute payment shite like Norwich, Fulham and Watford?

because forest will also be parachute payment shite. and so will bournemouth

Because Forest are a bunch of sabby little bastards, hope they bottle it again

wtf i just found a Forest fan on my knee

CMON FORREST SCORE SUM FUCKIN GOALS

>Bournemouth and Wales winger David Brooks says he is cancer free.

>The 24-year-old was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma in October and has not played for the Cherries since.

>"I am delighted to say the treatment was successful and I can now say that I have been given the all clear and am now cancer free," Brooks said.

>"Those words feel incredible to say and I am so thankful for all your messages and good wishes, these really helped me through the tough times."

Great news.

Are Forest going to turn down the parachute payments?

bournemouth of course
forestwogs keep calling us bitches because we lost a game against them some 45 years ago

Watching forest get their hopes up and choke again after decades of struggling to leave the division far outweighs yoyo clubs.... It will, once again, be fucking hilarious

Come on meme mouth, prolong their agony

thats great news! :)

To be fair Fulham were in the premier league for 15 years and reached the Europe League final.
They also have a gorgeous riverside stadium in the nicest area of London - across the river from a nature reserve.
It’s really only the last few years that they’ve become a yo-yo club

that new stand is fucking AIDS

Gotta be relegated to get parachute payments. Reminder we have won the league and also finished 3rd straight after getting promoted to the top flight. We would have some pull in the prem so I wouldn't be surprised if we finish top half like sheff Utd and Leeds did.
You guys will be so fucking mad later , just look at the run we have been on. Bottom of the league to 3rd, most in form team in the league, Derby also went down. This season is written

enjoy league 1 (if you dont get liquidated) mong boy

and Bournemouth is a comfy seaside town and decent away day/weekend

How about Bournemouth tonight and forest through the Playoffs? Forest seem to have the momentum to make it through them, don't fancy Bournemouth in the Playoffs desu

>We would have some pull in the prem
actually deluded

Not even promoted yet and you're already talking about finishing top half lmao absolutely delusional

if forest go up this year i think they'll actually establish themselves as a decent prem team, their owner is minted and considering hes one of the leading figures in worldwide shipping i imagine hes rapidly ascending on the rich list

also their CEO is a highly respected american, they have a bunch of ex city/real madrid analysts working for them and manchester uniteds famous youth coach (warren joyce)

their clubs in a good place tbf

COYR

that's what they were saying about leeds and look what's happened to them

That looks even worse

i dont think leeds have a stable board, or any stability within the club at all for that matter

They both look bad, but the 2nd one is more interesting, while the 1st one looks soulless

dear lord thats fucking hideous

Lmao is that second pic the rendering of what it should look like?

They've been mugged right off if they got that first pic instead

it'd be funnier if bournemouth won

fair point, I don't think fulham fans were expecting 1/4 of the john smith's stadium

it ultimately boils down to this

who took the knee and who didn't lads?

>2 minutes in
>big hoofs up the pitch and fouls
proper footy

Is this spence but just overhyped because of his performance vs assna? Whenever I watch forest he's meh or invisible

even in '92?

Somehow still got the record for finish bottom the most as well. But they belong in the prem right...

LEAVE KEVIN NASH ALONE!!

Test

Don't get his style.... in the main it's boring but then they go away to Huddersfield and Blackburn needing a result and turn them over with ease

seriously think theres something simple there that holds him back literally having everything else in place to win - too risk-averse maybe?

you're nae from Yoker, you've nae business being in Yoker

Would be funny if he doesn't get automatic promotion with Bournemouth and instead goes to the playoff final just to lose to Luton or Sheffield united.

It is shit but you can easily trick the uninitiated into thinking it's a nice place to visit if you stay within the Lace Market & Hockley area

Thought there might be more in this thread today. Guess all the Americans will be in the absolutely dross Liverpool thread

>dive about like fannies FC vs loan FC

Am unironically fae Yoker
