For 86 minutes, Bournemouth were dreadful, but with minutes to go, Sean Dyche made some changes which caused Andoni Iraola to smell blood. In just ten minutes Cherries overturned a two goal deficit to win one of the most dramatic turnarounds in Premier League history.

The tweaks were minor, but they allowed us the exploit what Everton had on lock-down throughout most of the game.

Steve Hensman joins Sam Davis and Tom Jordan to go over an extraordinary day at Goodison Park.

There are reasons to be optimistic this Saturday, as Cherries visit Goodison Park for the last time ever. Yes, it's not a place where we have much joy, but the way we are playing suggests we have MORE than a chance against Sean Dyche's spluttering side.

Tom and Sam are the The Queens Park for the BIG match preview! If you can help us in our plans with the QP, then please follow the link below:

Saturday evening saw VAR thrust into the limelight again as Bournemouth's winner against Newcastle United at Dean Court was deemed to be handball. The media didn't see it, the Bournemouth players didn't see it, the Newcastle players didn't see it, but 100 miles away in Stockley Park, the "t***ts in suits* DID.

In this brutal review, Sam, Tom and Neil tackle yet another match weekend where PGMOL, VAR and IFAB lead the top stories.

Beating Bournemouth isn't for everybody, and whilst our "Special One" managed to win against the Cherries in the Carabao Cup, in the Premier League, it still hasn't happened - so will Eddie and Mad Dog's Newcastle United stop the rot on Sunday in a match where Boscombe fans will be celebrating the club's 125th anniversary?

The expectations on Eddie Howe by Newcastle United fans in 2024/25 is simple - they NEED European football, and as Loaded Mags' Pete Davey suggests, without this being achieved - he fears for the Special One's position at the helm of the Magpies.

We've teamed up with Football Prizes where this month's main prize is an AFC Bournemouth 24/25 signed home shirt (comes with certificate of authenticity). Plus, FOURTEEN other #afcb instant win prizes available.

Bournemouth rescued a point against Nottingham Forest in a performance which was a little bit stunted, and a bit dechelleved for large parts of the game, however the introduction of Justin Kluviert and Ryan Christie seemed sort out the malaise, and thankfully our striker for today Antoine Semenyo turned up at the right time to enable us all the sing that song - "Nottingham Forest - it's happened again".

Statistics in football are often used to vindicate team selection and tactical choices, however often, most supporters feel that the "eye test" is more valuable - so after Cherries' draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday, we question whether the data should still be superseding what many fans seem to be seeing.

Sam and Tom are at the Goods Yard in Broadstone for the very first Second Look of the season! 🙌

Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and Brazilian forward Evanilson are putting pen to paper to give Iraola a huge boost ahead of Bournemouth's Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest.

Their availability for the weekend's game in questionable, but given Cherries fans were still feeling the pain from Dom Solanke's loss this week, the new recruits, especially Porto's Champions League marksman, will be just the tonic ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

Tom and Sam give the lowdown and preview a mouthwatering clash against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Plus we hear from Forest fan Dave Astbury about his hopes and dreams for the 2024/25 season.

One half of football was enough to know what AFC Bournemouth will be getting from a player who has been described of having "best in the world" potential. Dean Huijsen will fit in well with Andoni Iraola's way of playing, but where about specifically will he fit in? Sam and Tom provide the conjecture.

Plus, as Bournemouth's away kit is revealed, we provide an early reaction, and ponder what could possibly coming for the Cherries Third kit...
