    Non-Wildlife

    I saw a dozen hares the other week in the Stubhampton/Tarrant Gunville area, and over twenty a couple of months ago.

    AFC Bournemouth v Crystal Palace - Tuesday 7.45 pm

    I did wonder whether he should have been credited with an assist!

    AFC Bournemouth v Crystal Palace - Tuesday 7.45 pm

    Sutton: ‘They have really surprised me this campaign, especially after the way they started it. I reckon Bournemouth will edge it but I should probably apologise to their fans now for saying that because whenever I back them, they never end up winning.’ He seems - as I’d expect - to be...

    Yet more new rules for North Stand entry!

    I worried for my brother’s safety that day - he was on crutches following an operation. Not a great coach journey home, due to the windows being smashed. I will btw be wearing DMs in the North Stand today!

    First common lizard sighting of the year today, and at last it’s actually felt like spring.

    April's TV games?

    I’m looking a bit further ahead, ie to the Brighton match on April 27th: if that’s moved to 5.30 I’m fu**ed, as I’ve bought concert tickets for that evening. The fixture changes are an even worse part of PL football than var as far as I’m concerned.

    Non Keown

    Instead of MotD I’ve watched the 3-minute Sky Sports highlights of very PL match on Youtube for a couple of years now, thus avoiding the top six love-in. Also: yes, Keown really is a twa*.

    AFC Bournemouth v Luton Town - Wednesday 7.30 pm

    If I’ve got my maths right, winning from being three goals down in the PL happens about once in every 2300 matches!

    Non - Karl Wallinger

    Incredible to think that this album came out over 30 years ago!

    AFC Bournemouth v Luton Town - Wednesday 7.30 pm

    The matchday information email that goes out prior to every home game states clearly that drinks must be in a completely transparent bottle. A few weeks ago I was told by a steward that I couldn’t take mine in unless the cap was removed. I showed him the email and got in (with bottle cap still...

    Non - Karl Wallinger

    Such sad news,Rob. Finally got to see him about twelve years ago in Portsmouth. What a brilliant musical legacy he’s left for us to enjoy! If I had to pick one song it would be Sweet Soul Dream … or When the Rainbow Comes … or Ship of Fools … or Put the Message in the Box … RIP Karl.

    Safe standing

    I’m in row I. My initial thought was that we’d have the best of both worlds, until my wife said that the stewards will probably be keeping a very close eye on us, even though standing in row I wouldn’t restrict the view for the people behind us. The relocation request form doesn’t apply to...

    28/12/08 - AFCB 0 - 2 Barnet

    That match really was the pits. I told my cousin (sadly no longer with us) afterwards that I just couldn't bear to go to the next home game ..... which - if I remember correctly - was postponed, mercifully.

    NON: Sons of pro footballers

    Also Tom Hateley, son of Mark Hateley! I think it was in 1968 that Tony Hateley scored a hat-trick against us in an FA Cup replay at Anfield after we’d held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw at home. Keith East had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside.

    Bugbears

    Commentators saying that a player is ‘entitled to go down’ when conning the ref to get a penalty. Players/managers in post-match interviews scratching their face/ear/other part of head. I can’t explain why I find this so irritating, other than the fact that I’m an old misery.
