Eddie Howe: The Quest To Become A Champion

I love how Matt predicts Orion will return from Aruba to switch to a more tropical and exotic team.

Then Orion chooses Bournemouth.

Of course I get that I may alienate a few people for another restart but I was willing because this is something I really want to do. I want a manager CM, a CM where the ups and downs of a manager's career is the story, not the club. Can Eddie Howe grow into the first English manager to win the Premier League? Will he even get the chance at a bigger club? Will he survive in the BPL? Can he possibly keep tiny Bournemouth up? Can he deal with the rigors of one of the most demanding football leagues in the world? This CM, if I can pull it off will be about more than wins and losses, it'll be the story of one man's attempt to do what no other has as of yet. I think you'll like what I have planned.

Eddie Howe: Cherries Are Ready For Premier League

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe says his team are ready for their first ever Premier League season, adding that he will not abandon the attacking tactics that saw them win the Championship last year.


Bournemouth kick off their first top-flight campaign in their 116-year history at home to Aston Villa on 8 August, following three promotions in six years. The club was on the brink of relegation out of the Football League in 2009, before former player Howe took charge, with the team 10 points adrift at the bottom of League Two.


Bournemouth beat Grimsby Town on the final day of the 2008-09 season to rescue themselves and stay in the league, before going on an extraordinary run of promotions that culminated in their rise to the Premier League in May. Howe says his team are keen to get going.


"We are very keen to get going. We have done a lot of talking since those fantastic days for the club.We have been working hard towards this moment during pre-season, so it has been very intense work. We feel the team is ready, so now we just have to go out and prove we are good enough," he said at a news conference ahead of the new season.


Howe has been widely applauded for his exciting, attacking brand of football, and Howe says his boys still want to play with the same ethos in the Premier League.


"I am not saying we are going to score 98 goals," joked Howe.
"But we are certainly going to go at it the same way, in terms of how we approach the games. We are going to be brave, and we are going to try and take games to teams. I think that is our way, I think that is what we have become accustomed to, that is what our players expect us to do, and to veer away from that format I think would be foolish, on the back of all the success we have had. We know it is going to be tough, we know it is going to be harder, we know there may be some bumps in the road for us, but I think we are prepared for that."

One more carreer ? i will follow this with attention. what sliders do you use for that ? (and what game speed ?). have fun

[Matt10]

Oh they gave Wilson that goal, huh? Hutton's diving header was ill-timed, poor Guzan as he had that one.

The goal from Villa though was a fantastic play - starting and finishing with Sanchez.

Think it's cool that you've found your passion in this CM again, while at the same time our sliders are finally near completion - if not already. Irony, much.

No irnoy at all eh?
Villa's goal was well deserved honestly and although I was pretty disappointed, I'll take the point. Figure I'll need 40 to survive and that's one down!

Beautiful pass from lallana using perfectly the space. Nice start for ings at anfield. Sad that u did not equalize, u had some scoring opportunities.

What sliders are you using, i know its set N but i habitually prefer to use the set with your personnal touch (which, i feel is habitually harder cause the CPU values are mainly the same as User; for ex mainly u use pass speed equal and no discrepancy on main values). Thanks for the hard work to you and matt and all others who contribute.
