365 - Bournemouth’s January Jinx Returns Before Spurs Clash

After Saturday's loss to Arsenal, Cherries are back under the lights against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night - a team who we feel are "gettable". Despite Bournemouth's terrible run, recent games have been better, however a spanner has recently been thrown into the works with the announcement of ANOTHER injury! Justin Kluivert's omission is bad timing for a side which is already threadbare, and with Thomas Frank looking to rejuvenate his own out-of-sorts Spurs side - Cherries fans' optimism levels for this match-up might now be somewhat diluted... Sam and Tom are at the New Inn to preview a massive game for the Cherries!

364 - The Day Bournemouth Found Out Why Arsenal Paid £100m for Declan Rice

On Saturday, AFC Bournemouth gave the champions elect Arsenal a bit of a scare on a freezing cold night at Dean Court - in a game which saw Cherries take the lead, lose control, concede three, but then give them a scare with a Kroupi wonderstrike. Alas, despite a last minute flurry, truncated by a referee keen to get back into the warm - it wasn’t to be for the Chez - with midfield maestro Declan Rice stealing the show. Sam, Tom and Neil are at the New Inn in Poole to dissect an absorbing game under the lights.

363 - Could Bournemouth & Semenyo Do City’s Dirty Work vs Arsenal?

Antoine Semenyo is set to be involved against Arsenal in a week-long Vitality Stadium swan-song, with Bournemouth's boss Andoni Iraola suggesting that the departing star will be utilised in Cherries next TWO games against the Gunners and Spurs. With Manchester City anticipating his arrival at the Etihad, the challenge will have been set by Pep Guardiola for Antoine to cause carnage on the South Coast before making the moving up North, this potentially having a major impact on the title race. The Gunners have been quality this season, but Boscombe - after doing the double over them last season, will want to continue the siege mentality - in one of the season's BIGGEST encounters so far! Sam and Tom are the QP to preview a HUGE game! The QP is open from lunchtime on match-day, pints from £4, outdoor heaters, match day menu, children's play area, the £150 raffle (grab a ticket with every drink purchased).

362 - How Bournemouth’s GUTSY Showing Triggered Enzo's Exit

It felt like Bournemouth were BACK on Tuesday night with an improved performance against an under-par Chelsea. After Cherries' dismal showing at Brentford, fans were concerned about a potentially difficult fixture against Chelsea... However, with two more injuries coming to the fore by the way of Cook and Christie - players rallied and delivered another siege mentality performance, especially defensively - securing a huge point at Stamford Bridge, a result which led to the sacking of manager Enzo Maresca.

361 - Bournemouth’s Motto is TRULY Under the Microscope

"Together - Anything Is Possible" - but ARE we together? On Saturday, Bournemouth were TROUNCED by Brentford 4-1 at the GTech Community Stadium in a showing which raises the same old questions amongst Cherries fans. Sam and Tom dissect the abysmal performance before contemplating the bigger picture - a club that are seeking togetherness whilst deploying transfer policy that creates an environment that appears so temporary.
