I dont think any of the 3 promoted sides can play at the level Bournemouth have played today. Yes Newcastle have been miles off but Bournemouth haven't let them play

Good to see relegation potentials Newcastle struggling today

I guess this is a bit of a dampener on today but honestly (barring a points deduction) if we can't finish ahead of the three promoted sides with an 8 point head start we deserve to be fired into the sun.

Big win today with Bournemouth getting a "shock" result of the season.
In reality Newcastle have pretty much a full team out. Will be a very good chance to beat them in a few weeks at Goodison as some of those injuries are long term.

I think Bournemouth will start to pull away a bit. This is exact result and performance they should kick on with even if it's a very good time in the season to play Newcastle.
Looking pretty ominous for the promoted teams. They're going to get detached from everyone else in next 2-3 games unless one of them has a really good December but dosen't look likely on current viewing.
Hopefully just want us to keep pushing on is a sign for us to add to the squad if we can in jan

We are 2points of 9th, which may be 3 at most sunday if West Ham beat Forest. Bournemouth winning doesnt effect us in terms of we still would have been the same margin above bottom 3 even with a defeat

I see Brighton and Villa beating those 2
Sheff Utd play home to Bournemouth next as well in 2 weeks
….we need to keep picking up points as even the promoted teams will have spells of form.
20 points at Christmas is a good minimum benchmark, above that is good below that is not good. Obviously a points deduction puts us back in the doo doo but if we look after ourselves the rest will look after itself.

The half way mark of 19 games is always a good marker. I honestly think a point per game ratio giving 38 points will be too much for the bottom three teams this season. We’ve got 14 points already so feel ahead of the curve at the moment but it would be great if we can just get the wins to end this conversation as early as possible this season. The points tallies for the teams at the bottom could be so low at the halfway stage that they’re looking at having to get 25 points in 19 games just to have a chance of survival

The fact this thread is still seeing a lot of activity shows that most people at least acknowledge what they aren’t prepared to speak of openly - the inevitability of a double digit points deduction
