Bournemouth had finished ninth in Division Two.
Today, those three teams are England’s representatives in the Europa League.

Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
Luke O’Nien played football like Franz Beckenbauer today, spraying balls all over the pitch with either foot
How many players would sit on the bench for 30 games of the season without being a disruptive influence in dressing room & then just step in like he’s played at this level all his life
I’ve got about 1000 words to type on Luke 09 but too much drink taken x
It's only half time but I just want to mention that two of the lads from our League One days combined to put us into a Europa League position with 45 minutes to go of a Premier League season!
Ahead of Mental Health Awareness Week, our Black Cats have become Black Dogs 🖤
A symbol of the battles that so many people face every single day - often silently.
Football is family. And family looks out for each other. No matter who you are, or what you’re going through, you are never alone.
It’s okay to talk.
