    The new England kit

    My mother in law recently asked my wife for my shirt size and I had to very firmly make sure she knew I wouldn't wear an AFCB shirt under any circumstances. Thankfully it turned out it was for a t shirt with an "hilarious" slogan on the front, which I won't be wearing either. Once, on holiday...

    The new England kit

    The problem is people are so polarised now that if you think it's a cynical attempt to stir up controversy by poking the bear with a stick you get lumped in with the Bartons, Farages and Andersons. I doubt that there are many other countries that'd be happy with it. I wonder what the reaction...

    The new England kit

    I just wondered what people think about it? And for our American readers I'm talking about England's new kit not New England's:grinning:

    Who are the real fans?

    I grew up in a house full of women who had zero interest in football and afterwards I didn't have any mates who were into it, especially not Bournemouth who always seemed to be hovering around the 3rd and 4th divisions. I got into watching football in the late 70s/80s on tv, the Big Match etc...

    Have we become entitled

    Well, it seems we've established that no one on this forum booed so I guess it was the Luton fans booing their team off. ;) How entitled can you get.

    AFCB all time Premier League XI

    Difficult one, isn't it. So many variables. I think you can only have Daniels if you have Pugh and only have Fraser if you have Wilson and, for me, maybe only have Wilson if you have Fraser because his PL career with us was so badly affected by injuries. Also the quality of the opposition...

    AFC Bournemouth v Luton Town - Wednesday 7.30 pm

    What a game. I thought we mostly outplayed them in the 1st half to be honest but they set up to counterattack and broke with pace and defended a lot better than we did, mainly because Dango looked totally out of his depth and was responsible for two of their goals. But what a reaction in the 2nd...

    AFC Bournemouth v Sheffield United

    Maybe they just add an extra minute or two on at the end? If they don't do that already it's probably the simplest solution. Sending a goalie off for time wasting would cause uproar, especially if it happened in the first half. Also, tbh, if we were 1-0 up against Man City I don't think any of...

    Watering

    Well,I doubt any PL pitch is tough or irregular or that there have been fewer knee injuries but that aside I think it has cost us at least a couple of games so far.

    I think everybody knows we need an upgrade.

    AFC Bournemouth v Sheffield United

    Everybody overplaying it around the box. Need to get the crosses in earlier. They've got 3 defenders marking Solanke so Kluivert and Semenyo need to get into the box more too. Unfortunately their keeper's having a better day than ours, not for the first time.

    Burnley v AFC Bournemouth - Sunday 1 pm

    Awful game to watch. Good result.

    Billing’s Performance

    Yeah, actually I think that's a fair comparison. Unfortunately Thumper is a better fit than Bambi in an AI team.
