    The FA Cup

    I have a feeling this could be a very good year for us in the Cup. With a few favourable ties and a bit of luck...who knows?

    Messageboard Moaning

    Dunno about you, but if there's one thing that gets my goat, it's people coming on here and moaning. I'm fed up to the back teeth with all this negativity. Grumbling, complaining, criticising. Always finding fault. Moan, moan, moan. Nothing's ever good enough. Amazed that people have so little...

    Where We Stand On Boxing Day

    We play Fulham at home on Boxing Day, which will take us up to 19 games, the halfway point of the season. Including the Fulham match, we have two games that are obvious "must-wins" (Sheff Utd away, Luton at home), and three games where we could reasonably hope to get a point from each (Palace...

    These Fan Marches

    They seem to be all the rage these days, don't they ? Very popular with visiting European teams, Dortmund put on a great display the other night in Newcastle. Anyway, don't you think it's time we organised our own Bournemouth Fan March ? Maybe we could turn it into a brolly protest event...

    Non - Yeovil vs Weymouth

    A record attendance last night for the Vanarama South , 6,289 there. A lot of non-league clubs getting great crowds this season. Fantastic!

    Non - Free Tickets For All At Fortuna Dusseldorf!

    Yes, it's true. For the next 3 games, Fortuna are giving away all 52,000 tickets, to reconnect the club with the community. Hey Jim, now that's what I call a wave ! https://apnews.com/article/free-tickets-fortuna-duesseldorf-kaiserslautern-bb03e1c2379df15aaa5c736435be2bcb

    Luton's New Stand

    Completed in just 3 months. That's impressive! Instead of messing around with these ridiculous rip-off "hospitality" marquees, why didn't Foley order an upgrade to the Ted Mac instead? PS And fill in the corners while he's at it.

    Footy Scran

    Here's the Footy Scran - sorry, Stadium Food Offering - thread. Look what you get at non-league Barton, all for a bargain £5. Just imagine what you're gonna get in the Hospitality tent with your £139 deal ! Are you watching, Jim Frevola ?

    My 60th Season...

    Just realised that this must be my 60th season starting today...when I think of all the other things and people that have passed in and out of my life since then. Mates, girlfriends, women, mum and dad, cars, jobs, houses, all the bits and pieces that make up a life. But going down to Dean...

    NON : Albums You Bought, But You Wish You Hadn't...

    As we've discussed elsewhere, back in the days when you bought an LP, you had to part with a serious lump of cash. For me, in the early 70s, to buy an album for about £2.50 was the equivalent of 2 weeks' paper round money, so wasn't a decision to be taken lightly. Trouble was, apart from the...

    NON : Bands/Artists You Got Into AFTER You Grew Up

    I guess for most of us, music was at its most exciting while we were growing up ? Between the ages of, say, 14 and 25 was when we were having plenty of fun, parties, clubbing, holidays away with mates, the first intoxicating feelings of independence without being weighed down by adult...

    ECONOMIC BOOM PREDICTED FOR SOUTHAMPTON !

    Just spotted this on a Southampton News website : ECONOMIC MINI-BOOM FOR SOUTHAMPTON PREDICTED ! While the rest of the UK faces financial hardship amidst the cost-of-living crisis, there’s one major city in Britain that is looking at an economic boom over the next few years – Southampton ...

    When Was The Last Time...

    When was the last time we were in a higher division than Saints? In fact, have we EVER been in a higher league than them ? Maybe this is an historic opportunity for AFCB ? In the same way that for decades SFC siphoned off support from the Bournemouth/Dorset area, when they were a top tier...

    If we beat Leeds on Sunday...

    ...do you think they'll make Gary O'Neil Manager Of The Month for April ? I bloody hope so.

    ...but wouldn't you like them to beat Man United later ? Never thought I'd ever say it, but I do !

    Whatever Happened To Midfielder Magic ?

    I don't know about you, but I'm really disappointed that Midfielder Magic has simply vanished into thin air There he was, warming up nicely on the sidelines, just getting ready to take over from KK when he does his inevitable end-of-season disappearing act. Then, as soon as he was spotted...

    Look, Here's A Suggestion

    How about for a day - just ONE day, and that's today - we agree to cease all hostilities, to stop all the backbiting and score-settling and historic grievances and personal vendettas, forget all the I-Told-You-Sos, and the You Said This and I Said Thats. How about for just one day, we just...

    Our Greatest PL Away Victory?

    For me, yesterday's game was right up there with Chelsea 2015. Both sensational results, hard to say which was the most important. The Chelsea game gave us the belief that we could stay in this league. Yesterday's game told us that we would stay in this league. Glenn Murray's winner, or...

    Those Epic Dean Court Nights...

    It's all set up to be a proper humdinger tonight. One of our traditional Southern rivals aiming for Europe, just begging to be knocked off their perch. And we "The Pluckies" as BHA contemptuously refer to AFCB, will only be too happy to oblige in our scramble for survival. A packed and...
