    393 - Unbiased Take... And It Hurts 😬 Leeds’ Late Draw At Bournemouth
    Apr 24 2026
    We relive the painful drama as AFC Bournemouth were denied a huge three points by a last-gasp Leeds United equaliser at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday night. In this Second Look, we break down the key moments - Junior Kroupi’s opener, Leeds’ response, Rayan’s late strike that looked to have won it, the Evanilson VAR controversy, and the devastating stoppage-time volley from Sean Longstaff that silenced the home crowd. We also dive into the big talking points: VAR controversy, defensive lapses, substitutions from Andoni Iraola, and what this result means for Bournemouth’s European hopes. Was this two points dropped or a fair result? And can the Cherries still push for Europe? Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.

    Apr 20 2026
    Bournemouth’s incredible run rolled on as Andoni Iraola’s side made it 13 games unbeaten with a huge 2-1 win away at Newcastle. After managing their high-intensity press earlier in the year, the Cherries now look fresher, sharper, and more dangerous than ever - climbing into the top ten and showing no signs of slowing down. But while Bournemouth fans celebrate, it’s a different story for Eddie Howe and Newcastle, who look short of confidence and ideas right now. In this video, we break down: • How Iraola’s tactical tweaks are paying off • Why Bournemouth look stronger than ever late in the season • What’s going wrong for Newcastle • And whether Howe is starting to feel the pressure Are Bournemouth the real deal?

    390 - Newcastle vs AFC Bournemouth: The STRIKING Eddie Howe Parallels
    Apr 16 2026
    For many AFC Bournemouth fans, Eddie Howe is more than just a former manager - he’s a symbol of the club’s greatest ever rise. From League Two to the Premier League, he gave us memories that will last a lifetime. But right now, even as a distant observer… the current malaise at Newcastle United is a painful watch. As pressure mounts on Howe at St James Park, there’s an eerie sense of déjà vu. The same fatigue, the same questions, the same noise that surrounded his final season at AFC Bournemouth. In this preview ahead of Bournemouth vs Newcastle, we reflect on: ▪️ Why this feels so familiar for Cherries fans ▪️ The emotional conflict of facing a club legend ▪️ Whether Howe can turn things around again ▪️ And what to expect when the two sides meet Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.

    389 - Emergency Podcast: Andoni Iraola To Leave AFC Bournemouth
    Apr 14 2026
    This afternoon it was announced that Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola will leave the club this summer. The Spaniard joined the club in 2023, replacing then head coach Gary O'Neil, much to the media's wrath - but the brilliant Basque boss soon showed them why the decision was made - elevating the side to brand new levels. Cherries had been determined to keep Iraola at the club but were unable to reach an agreement with the 43-year-old, and he will leave after the final game of the season against Nottingham Forest. Sam and Tom provide instant reaction... Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.
