    Non - Harry Arter

    Same agent as Stephane Zubar, as it happens.

    Big Sam

    Just saw this on the Beeb. That'll be why he's won more than all of those combined at roughly the combined age of the aforementioned trio.

    Post-match thoughts v Southampton

    Sutton is a tool. And not just because he doesn't like us. He's boring AF and miserable about basically everything. And wrong a lot. The new Keown. He was also wrong about the Solanke challenge. Said Walker-Peters got the ball when he clearly took Solanke's leg. Though given it was only...

    Non - House prices

    Sorry, amended the post. We've rented for 20 years. We could buy a house in a different part of the country but we don't want to live somewhere else. Should we have to? Cut all family ties just to own a house or wait until both my folks die. I could be well into my 60s when I take my first step...

    Non - House prices

    Case study: My folks bought a 3 bedroom house with good size garden and garage in Ensbury Park in 1995 for £70k. My Mum was a bit younger than I am now back then. My Dad slightly older. My wife and I have both worked full time since we were 18/19 - about 20 years - and rented that whole time...

    This Saturday is different.

    This photo is the peak moment of AFCB history. Beating United, everyone together. Squad of under £4million value cutting it in the PL. Obviously tragic for Harry but strength together in adversity and a display of what it's important in life above football, while simultaneously showing how...

    What a window!

    I'll happily admit I've had other things to do than follow football intensely post-lockdown for many reasons including how long it takes me to find the latest page of a thread on this site these days but if I'm being skpetical, I've never heard of any of these guys. I always look at teams like...

    "Worst team of the season so far"

    Finally someone has picked up on how little Harry Wilson does when he's not wellying the ball goalwards.

    Non-Anyone have an update on AlGard?

    I think it only fitting, regardless of who he's playing for or his contractual situation or even if he's retired by now, that the club sign Luke Garbutt immediately in Al's honour.

    Alex Fletcher - Bath City

    I can confirm, it definitely was. Long stoppage for Shwan after a collision with (I think) Tyrell Forbes? Went down at his feet for a tackle and got clattered. Then Pugh got badly injured on the sprinkler a foot or so beyond the goal line and was out for a number of weeks.

    The highs and highs of Howe at Bournemouth

    Jesus, that Harry Arter moment... Just bawled my eyes out. That 30 seconds says everything about the golden Eddie Howe period, for me. Ignore the top10 finish and big wins against big teams, that few weeks was the absolute peak of AFC Bournemouth's history. A £2million squad cutting it in the...

    New club hospitality idea

    There'd have to be one fir every PL team. Chicken and Leeds Steak and Newcastle Brown Ale Not sure what flavour I'd want Arsenal to be, though o_O

    Leicester vs. Florist - who do we want to lose tonight?

    Lovely to see Fulham's transfer policy of a few seasons back working out just as well for Forest. Imagine being in that promotion squad and seeing 2 players coming in in every position.
