    287 - Something's HAPPENING At Wolves (And Bournemouth Fans Know It)
    Feb 20 2025
    On Saturday Andoni Iraola's Cherries face Wolverhampton Wanderers at home in the Premier League, in the first of two consecutive matches against Vítor Pereira's men. By looking at the the league table, the form table, the baseline tracker, everything should indicate that this should be fairly routine for Boscombe, but football is NOT played on paper, and looking at Wolves’s last performance in the PL, we actually could have a fair few things to worry about. Sam and Tom are the QP to discuss what we think will be an ACID TEST for AFC Bournemouth. Visit the Queens Park at 482 Holdenhurst Rd, Bournemouth, BH8 9AR.

    286 - Are We UNHINGED For Thinking Bournemouth Could Make the Champions League?
    Feb 17 2025
    Bournemouth's 3-1 win over south coast rivals Southampton propelled Andoni Iraola's side up to fifth in the Premier League, sparking conversation amongst fans that making the grade for Europe's elite tournament could actually be a possibility. Whilst fans gleefully chanted "Champions League awaits for me", we're now at a point where we're questioning whether the song we're singing is just another piece of terrace rhetoric, or whether it it is actually not such a left-field claim as it might sound. The performance at St Mary's saw Boscombe effectively put the game to bed in the first half, and whilst Saints sorted out some of their personnel problems in the second half, ultimately, when we needed to - Bournemouth upped our levels, and a two-goal cushion was quickly restored. So can we? Sam and Tom go over the finer details of a memorable weekend at what has recently become the south's most frequent footballing derby.

    285 - Southampton vs Bournemouth - How Iraola Turned The South Coast Upside Down
    Feb 13 2025
    Whilst Cherries fans will be singing "mind the gap", Andoni Iraola will be telling his players to "be careful" of the gap - with Bournemouth's trip to relegation-threatened Leicester earlier this season being the prime example that league positions should be treated with a pinch of salt. We know that both statistics and recent history indicates that Bournemouth should wipe the floor with our Hampshire neighbours on Saturday, but the local South coast showdown always provides some extra spice - and it doesn't always go true to form. Whilst Southampton will feel like their season is done, their last league match shows that they are still fighting - so complacency is off the menu for Iraola's Bournemouth - so can Cherries to stick the knife in en route to our European target? Sam and Tom are at the Queens Park hotel to preview the big game, with input from Mike from @MatchDayVlogs .

    After smashing the Baggies 5-1, Bournemouth travel to Merseyside for the very last time on Saturday, as they face Everton in the 4th Round of the FA Cup. Cherries fans have travelled to Goodison Park twice previously wondering if it’d be the last time we see the Great Old Lady - but with the new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock DEFINITELY ready for the start of the 2025/26 season season, this WILL be the last time we go there - so can we make it as memorable as the last visit?

  • 282 - How Liverpool's Title Charge Was Nudged Along At Bournemouth

    282 - How Liverpool's Title Charge Was Nudged Along At Bournemouth
    Feb 3 2025
    Darren England's refereeing return played out in inevitable fashion on Saturday in a tasty tussle between two of the Premier League's form sides. With Bournemouth on a record unbeaten run, Cherries fans were buoyant ahead of Liverpool's arrival - but despite a busy opening for the home side, the tone was set on 28 minutes, when Arne Slot's side were awarded a spot kick after a Cody Gakpo fall. Debates rage on amongst Cherries fans about this and a number of decisions made by the ref throughout the game, who bafflingly kept his job as a Premier League ref last season after a huge VAR error during Tottenham's chaotic clash with Liverpool, when Luis Diaz had a goal incorrectly scrubbed out. Whilst England was keen to get the plaudits from the Merseyside contingent, it was Mo Salah's name that Liverpool fans were singing at full-time, as his sublime strike in the second half sent the visitors home with a 2-0 victory. Now that the dust has settled, were Bournemouth "robbed"? Is VAR accurate? Was the referee THAT bad? Sam and Tom discuss the events at Dean Court...

    Andoni Iraola and Arne Slot locking horns on Saturday is arguably THE most important match of the weekend, and judging by Liverpool's selection again PSV in the week, one might suggest that THIS the match they are worried about... Bournemouth are in sparkling form at the moment - on an unbeaten run which is a club record, but so are our opponents Liverpool.
