Leicester-City & Chelsea-Spurs are games between 4 of the 'special' clubs so favoured by the media

Leicester-City will be first,then probably Chelsea-Spurs,we should be 3rd if only because of the VAR controversy.

Crisp eater has already said it shouldn’t have been a penalty - so the focus will be on VAR. We’ll be lucky to get a mention

We should be on first. An absolute crackers match was that.

Could have been about 8-6.

Guarantee it will all be about 'Poor old Bournemouth, nothing goes right when you're struggling.' The fact that we scored three really good goals will count for little.

It was a game of two halves, entirely due to the windy conditions but we showed some real class at times today and how JayRod missed the chance from McNeill's world class cross, I still find hard to believe.

I expect we will get a bit of credit but only a bit just before they move onto the next match.

6 minutes of highlights, 1 minute of interviews, 3 minutes discussing VAR decisions, 30 seconds bemoaning Bournemouth's bad luck before Gary turns to guests, and says " A word about Burnley, I think they'll be safe, don't you ? " . They will nod sagely, as the camera moves back to Gary .. " All eyes were on St Mary's this afternoon etc " :)

It all depends who the pundits are tonight. If it's Shearer, Wrighty or Murphy, they usually give us decent reviews but why we're on third when there was only one goal in the City game, can only be down to Lineker's team being involved.

That's avery different piece to the match report Auntie wrote earlier. Perhaps Liniker wrote that?

Ian Wright and Keown on, so not sure there will be much point listening after the highlights.

Wrighty's usually OK. Not sure about Keown though. Two ex Arsenal? Perhaps the grass was too long?

Crisp eater’s right.

Far more convincing shout earlier in the game...

Sooner VAR is binned, the better.

Incredible decision regarding Lo Celso. Think they've admitted they got it wrong, but
terrible from both ref and VAR.

Awful challenge as well.

How did he justify his decision at the time? You really have to wonder.

They admitted that they got it wrong during the game so why can’t they get that message to the ref to send him off before the end of the game. What if he scored an equaliser after they had admitted he should’ve been sent off....

I really think we'll have a serious go at Spurs. They seem to have their heads down
and won't relish coming to the Turf.

Still be difficult, obv, but they're beatable.

I had to double take that it was actually Mourinho being interviewed. Bags under his eyes like Ternent!

Same guy who doesn’t give red card at Chelsea gives City a penalty for handball but not Leicester.

Time to give these VAR decisions to people who understand football.

Think the first one was the shoulder, but the pen hit him on the upper arm. They showed it from several angles and on all of them bar one it looked to be upper arm. We definitely got away with the first one but I remain convinced, as I was seeing it live, that the penalty decision was correct.

Anyway, some decent coverage and nice comments on Vydra and McNeil.
