    Afcon

    Just saw that the African Cup of Nations is in Côte d’Ivoire in Jan-Feb 2024. Côte d’Ivoire have qualified as hosts, Burkina Faso have qualified and Ghana look likely to follow. So we’ll be without Traore, Outtarra and Semenyo for a fair few games next season.

    Luck

    Not sure we have had much luck this season, especially with refereeing decisions and injuries. But three big slices of it for our last three wins may end up being season defining: 1. Salah’s penalty 2. Playing Fulham without Mitrovic and Willian 3. Playing Leicester managerless and in disarray

    West Ham, Southampton and Leeds games

    Three huge games but if I have understood correctly, all three are almost guaranteed to be moved with West Ham 2-0 up going into their home Europa Conference League game against Larnaca. West Ham at home will be moved to Sunday 23 April. Southampton away will be moved to Thursday 27 April. In...

    Bielsa or someone-elsa

    Not great for O’Neil for this to come out the night before a match. Interested in people’s preferences following tonight’s reporting.

    Size doesn’t matter

    We get so much stick from other fans for being a small club or tinpot, including from fans of clubs that I don’t think of as particularly big, that I decided to do my own tier list to see where we sat. Not an exact science and my list is probably biased towards the period I’ve been following...

    Next 4 games

    4 tough looking fixtures coming up before the FA Cup: Bristol City (A) Preston (A) Barnsley (H) Swansea (H) I worry the Pearson effect could bite us on Weds but I’m hoping for a minimum of 6 points from this run of games.

    Radio Solent ‘shout outs’

    Really enjoyed the game today and it’s great listening to Kris Temple and John Williams (although I’m not sure who Stanislaus or Solanko are). But what’s with all the ‘shout outs’. Surely people want to know what’s happening on the pitch and not that Dave from Weymouth loves the pies at St...

    External appointments

    Have we ever made an external managerial appointment with no previous connection to the club? Certainly not since I started supporting the club in the early 90s.

    Harry Arter’s and Matt Ritchie’s XIs

    Sorry if it has been posted elsewhere but Harry Arter and Matt Ritchie have done interviews naming the best XI they have played with. Lots of AFCB names and some very interesting insight so thought I would share. Funny moment when Ritchie can’t remember his team and realises it is on the phone...

    Welsh Cherries

    The crunch Wales game tonight got me thinking about Welsh Cherries over the years and with a bit of creative licence I think we could put a good team together but I can’t think of a goalie. I’ve stuck Ovendale in as I think we signed him from Barry Town! Mark Ovendale Rhoys Wiggins Chris Mepham...

    We are the only team in the league...

    to have scored and conceded in every game this season. Only Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal have also scored in every game. And only Watford and Norwich have also conceded in every game.

    Que sera sera

    Have just read that the Spurs game on Boxing Day will be at Wembley. Frustrating as I will be out of the country and I was there for our only other two games there. Will anyone be going who was also there in 98 and last year?

    European fixtures

    Just looked at the UCL and Europa League fixtures and some potentially drop in our favour. We play Man Utd at home 3 days before they travel to Juventus and a week before the Manchester derby. Also Liverpool at home 3 days before their final UCL group game at home to Napoli and a week before...

    Played for Bournemouth and England

    My AFCB knowledge pre the 90s is pretty sketchy - have I missed anyone below? Lewis Cook Adam Lallana Rio Ferdinand Jermaine Defoe Darren Anderton Ryan Bertrand Jamie Redknapp David James I also remember Nicky Butt playing for us in Russel Beardsmore’s testimonial but don’t think that counts.

    Same old Watford always cheating

    Just scored with a blatant handball against Soton. We are not perfect but their hypocrisy when talking about us has always made me laugh.

    Team v Middlesbrough

    Quite difficult to call given injuries. I hope he doesn't make wholesale changes so we can try to build some momentum. Boruc Daniels Cook Ake Smith Pugh Hyndman Arter Ibe Wilson Afobe Subs Mousset Fraser Francis Simpson Gosling Mahoney Ramsdale
