Its been a good couple of weeks for AFC Bournemouth with the club reaching 19 points and Andoni Iraola proving the doubters wrong. But what about our start, how has our Basque Manager changed things and what about the future. Have we all gone from thinking relegation could be a possibility to thinking Europe might be on the cards?

One man who like Craig was a big fan of former manager and current Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O'Neil is Laurence Martin - well known as the star of the show on Baggage Battles and Storage Wars.

Laurence knows a bargain when he see's one and in this conversation we ask Laurence if Richard Hughes has spotted some bargains in the summer, the transformation under Andoni and whether that Manchester United win is our best yet.

Do all let us know what Vinyl's you would like to see Laurence pull out in our show, currently scheduled for January 2024.

Back in January 2021, we faced Luton Town and ahead of the game Craig spoke to former Hatters Chairman and TV Presenter Nick Owen about his career, the stadium and the future for the club.

Of course, at that time although we were not aware, the future was in the Premier League.

Enjoy this discussion with Nick as we remember that season where the Cherries and Luton battled to avoid the drop and the incredible journey for both clubs back.

Welcome back to the 39th episode of Cherry Picking! Craig and Mani are back after a busy few weeks to look at the up and coming game against Luton Town but all the happenings at Dean Court ahead of the Hatters coming to town.

Of course a big one was Kris Temple's excellent interview with Bill Foley in which Bill explained his plans moving forwards but also the strategy in the transfer market. We also discussed Neill Blake and Richard Hughes and their pivotal role at the club and Bill's insistence on keeping hold of Lloyd Kelly.

We also discussed Andoni Iraola and the fantastic upturn in form! What a remarkable job he has done and of course proved me and a lot of doubters wrong. And aren't we delighted about it.

Please do let us know if there are any other topics you would love us to cover in our next video and Up The Cherries!

Bill Foley during an interview with Kris Temple on BBC Sounds explained his plans for a new stadium to replace the current Dean Court which will begin life at a proposed 18,500 and extended on success to a 22,000 seater.

Some fans have been underwhelmed by the news so here is our verdict on the new stadium which is being proposed and why this might be a very sensible business plan for the club, despite having a decent catchment area which we can tap into.

We also touch on the other topics discussed in the audio which can be found below.

This weekend AFC Bournemouth welcome Luton Town to Dean Court. Luton Town were promoted to the Premier League through the Championship Playoff's beating Coventry City on Penalties at Wembley.

For many, playing Luton is a blast from the past and Kenilworth Road needed some renovations like Dean Court did back in 2015 to comply with the Premier League standards. However for the Cherries, we know the Hatters all too well.

In fact we have played Luton at every level in the Football League pyramid. One of only a few sides we can say we have done that with. We also had a near escape back in 2008 which needs no introduction until Super Steve Fletcher saved us from dropping into the abyss.

Unfortunately for Luton Town - 30 points was insurmountable. It was impossible. It was cruel.

However their rise after several years in the National League has been nothing short of spectacular. Do keep in mind, Luton finally escaped the clutches of the Skrill Premier the very same season AFC Bournemouth were in the Championship (and only a year later we were promoted to the top flight).

And Rob Edwards finally finished off the job Nathan Jones started getting the Bedfordshire club back to the top flight after a long absence and their first since the formation of the Premier League.

What did Luton fans make of the journey? Well we have one man who is on his own journey this season. Well 19 of them in fact!

Mark Crowther is cycling from Luton to every away game this season and is doing so for some fantastic charities such as Prostate Cancer UK, Mind, Noah who help the homeless community in Luton and Keech Hospice.

Please please do donate generously to Mark's fantastic efforts here - https://www.justgiving.com/page/markpremierpedalchallenge-mindblmk

Can the Cherries continue the great run of form which have seen wins at Old Trafford and Selhurst Park or will the Hatters who have plenty of spirit, passion and determination finally get their rewards?

Joey Barton has come out with a number of Tweets over the weekend on Women in Football. Targeting Bianca Westwood, Laura Woods and other top female pundits, Joey has stated that "Women shouldn't be talking with any kind of authority in the men's game". He has also provided a number of other comments (the references to the comments in the thumbnail can be found lower down).

Craig responds to Joey's misguided comments, why footballers such as Alex Scott, Jill Scott and Karen Carney SHOULD commentate on the mens game, why any societal label should not determine or effect your opportunities and we also reply to Hannah Pearl Davis comments (also known as Pearly Thingz or @JustPearlyThings on YouTube) on the subject.

Please let us know your thoughts and views. We also encourage everyone to support HerGame Too (can be found at @hergametoo1496 on YouTube) to continue to support the inclusion of women in the mens game.

Thank you for listening.

What a performance. What a game. Andoni Iraola is magic, he wears a magic hat and when someone said Europe he said he's having that!

Manchester United were not just beaten today, they were destroyed by a rampant AFC Bournemouth who preceded to stuff 3 goals past them with one from Dango Ouattara being ruled to have touched his hand by VAR (rubbish), Mark Goldbridge and other popular United YouTubers were going mental and there were calls for Erik ten Hag to be sacked.

But in this video, Craig explains it wasn't due to a poor performance for the Red Devils. The Cherries were that good!

Who would have doubted Iraola! He's bloody magic!

Following our recent draw against Aston Villa at Dean Court, we are on the road again with a trip to our bogey side Crystal Palace awaiting us. AFC Bournemouth have finally hit some decent form (forget the Manchester City defeat) and with the Eagles in a troubled patch considering they have recently been beaten by Everton and Luton Town, there may be no better time to face them.

We welcomed back onto the show Rich from the fantastic Eagle-Eyed Football to discuss this game between experienced master Roy Hodgson and Premier League newboy Andoni Iraola.

We also ask how Jefferson Lerma - yes we want him back - has fared at Selhurst Park and the injury crisis which has plagued them with Michael Olise recently returning and scoring a peach of a goal but in the same week Eberechi Eze then getting injured.

Can the Cherries finally put to bed their Palace struggles or will the Eagles soar again?

After our 3-0 win at Bramall Lane against Sheffield United which could have been 6 or 7, AFC Bournemouth take on an Aston Villa side who are flying high under Unai Emery in both the Premier League and in Europe.

The Villans, should all the ducks fall in a row, could well be TOP of the Premier League on Sunday evening! How are Villa fans feeling ahead of this potential banana skin against fellow Basque Manager Andoni Iraola and how far can they go?

We spoke with Martin Leonard of the fantastic Villa Park Podcast ahead of this game between two coaches who will be well aware of each other.

We also discussed Nicolò Zaniolo who could well have been a Cherry last January but via Galatasaray has ended up at Villa Park. And what do the Villa fans make of Ollie Watkins who has been on fire this season?

Its going to be an interesting game of chess between two managers from the same region of Spain.

Can Bournemouth carry on the decent home form against Villa or will the revitalised midlanders get three points at Dean Court?

Sheffield United were promoted from the Championship last season and whilst they ran away from the chasing pack alongside Burnley, not everything was as rosy behind the scenes.

The owner Prince Abdullah Bin Mosaad Al Saud has looked to sell the club on two seperate occasions, the club have spent very little getting back to this level and not strengthened since and there were rumours of all sorts of risks if the Blades hadn't got back up. Thankfully they did, but still have a big relegation battle on their hands.

Paul Heckingbottom has done a remarkable job getting them back up but there are also questions about if he deserves to still be in the job.

We welcomed on Ben from the excellent Travelling Blade to discuss the season so far, dissect the mess, look at the positives and ask can the Yorkshire club stay up...

We also discuss Aaron Ramsdale and Lys Mousset who were both once Cherries and once Blades and also David Brooks - a man who is a legend at both clubs and the memories both clubs have with our Number 7!

We also discuss Hawkeye and what could have been for both clubs.

Let us know what you think the score will be this Saturday in this big game for both clubs.
