Nearly every pundit had us down. From Youtubers, TV pundits, and even ex-managers - as Harry Redknapp came on the channel to suggest Bournemouth might be doomed! But how did they get it so badly wrong, and why didn't our takeover and January transfer business make any of their ears prick up?

Sam and Tom discuss the Cherries season, and ponder whether our survival with games to spare might actually enable us to shake off the "little old Bournemouth" tag, especially with plans afoot to build a new stadium and improve our facilities.

Despite our abject loss to Palace, which we discuss, these really are exciting times!
