Good win tonight for us, up to 7th and looking good. I can't see us being anywhere near the relegation zone and with a bit of luck, we could make a bid for a playoff spot.

Great win at the weekend, earned me some dollar. Pompey tommorow night in a good local game and then a tricky few tests with Watford away and then Wigan at home. My confidence will be shaped by those two games. I think we'll survive this season, but if we can make a good impression in those games, regardless of a win/loss, I'll be even more confident.

The season is finally here. Phew!

I support AFC Bournemouth. I only look forward to Reading because it's local-ish, I have family there, so it's the perfect excuse, and we owe them a beating for that horrendous 3-3 all those years ago. The ground and sorrounding areas I know to be as bad as Pride Park. Forster and Cureton. *shudders*

I would not mind Wells here, we need another striker. Fletch has retired, Stockley is still young, Tubbs has not proved worth the outlay and may go and I have reservations about Grabban at the level above so another striker would be handy. I think our priority needs to be defence, however. We have no real class backup behind the first choice so could do with three defensive options coming in.

Love the fact Brighton have not gone up, really want to take in The Amex last season, heard good things about it. Cracking treks next season. Brighton, Reading, Leeds, Wednesday, Forest, Charlton, Birmingham ... going to be a fun season. Hoping to make most away games, as usual.

It's hard to articulate just how thrilled I am at Swindon and Sheffield United stopping down in L1. Amazing stuff. Good to see there'll be a local trip to Yeovil or Brentford next season. I like Brighton and wish them well and think they may go up, but I'd rather they stay down as selfishly, I'd like to take in The Amex as I've heard good things about it.

In final year of his contract. I've heard between 3-4mil, but he wants it to happen. He's been back in and around town ever since being at Swindon, he's been to our ground to visit the players since EH came back and his old man was a guest of AFC Bournemouth for the Carlisle game that clinched promotion. What I've heard is we approached Burnley in January but they told us to feck off but we'll come back in for him this summer.

I heard we (AFC Bournemouth) are signing Charlie Austin. Laugh to your hearts content, but this guy told me about Eddie Howe coming back 3 days before it hit the press, so ... Here's hoping. We definetly stay up with him and Pitman up top.

Can't believe we're going up. I've waited years to see AFC Bournemouth at this level.

One of the best games he's had since Eddie left. Where was that when we were chasing 2nd place and needed him!

Eddie Howe is actually coming back. This is mental.

Mitchell made the decision in the shower apparently. I have a strange growing love for this idiot. Speculation about Hoddle, How, Coterill and Johnson. Hoddle apparently wanted an interview in the summer but was rejected, quite hilariously. EH won't happen, too many bridges to overcome for it to, but boy I'd love it. The perfect guy for the job that needs doing.

Won 130 notes last midweek, profit of 36p this weekend and a tenner profit yesterday. Spunked about £30 on tonight.

Me too. Despite the fact that everything inside me says I should hate the club for what it has done to me over the years, I don't. Ah, football. It's the greatest.

AFC Bournemouth.

Seeing our old facilities compared to now, it makes me laugh. Our club shop was a cabin on top of wooden poles. :lmao: Now we've got a fully functioning Club Shop, Bistro, Bar, Restaurant and to top it off, Bubbles, a premium lounge sort of thing.

It's depressing being average/shit again. The last few years have clearly spoiled me. Now our club is full of stupid drunks, rapists and idiots.

SUMMERSLAM 2011 The event started off with Mark Henry going to war with Sheamus. This was one of the more brutal starts to any recent WWE Pay Per View event as both men, two of the toughest in professional wrestling today, went into toe to toe combat, neither man giving an inch, stretching the rules and regulations to the limit in an attempt to hurt eachother in any way possible. In the end, after ducking and diving out the way of many Brogue Kick attempts, Henry picked up and then demolished Sheamus with a Worlds Strongest Man, damn near breaking his back in the process, and the count of three from the referee afterwards was all but academic. As the bell rings, Henry waits a few moments before going after Sheamus again. Smirking, he drags Sheamus to the outside of the ring, before with one hand, dragging his corpse to the top of the ramp. The crowd know what’s coming and the anticipation builds as Sheamus crawls and scratches at Henry, getting to his feet. The monster stands there proud and doesn’t flinch as Sheamus tries, mostly in vain, to protect himself. Looking into the eyes of Henry, he shouts, his spit glazing the eyes of Henry. Henry wipes his face before pushing Sheamus back! Sheamus nearly falls from the stage, but just stops himself, his arms shaking as he tries to regain balance. Henry sizes him up, he charges ... BUT SHEAMUS MOVES ... HENRY STOPS, BUT SHEAMUS CHARGES HIMSELF ... BROGUE KICK!!! ... HENRY GOES CRASHING TO THE UNFORGIVING CONCRETE FLOOR BELOW!!! Sheamus falls to his knees and looks down below at the carnage of the big man layed out on the floor. The Celtic Warrior gains his footing, snarls and holds out his arms, the crowd going wild after chants of “HOLY SHIT” filled the Staples Center, Sheamus having sent a huge ... literally ... message to rival, that as big and bad as he could be, this Irishman could be even bigger and even badder when he wanted to be. Next up, it was a Loser Leaves WWE match between John Morrison and R-Truth. The match was made via R-Truth. He wanted John Morrison gone, and agreed to abide by the same stipulation, saying if by the smallest of chances, he lost, he’d be happy to leave the conspiracy behind. As it so happened, the conspiracy theories were set to continue, as R-Truth hit not one, but two Lie Detectors before delivering a Tornado DDT, dropping Morrison right dead on his neck, the referee counting the three, signalling the end of John Morrison in the WWE. Morrison was helped onto a stretcher after the match as R-Truth looked on and laughed, waving bye to Morrison and in an interview with Matt Striker at ringside, vowing what had just happened to John Morrison would happen to anyone else who so much as tries to launch, and indeed continue the perceived conspiracy against him. In a match that’s been more than a year in the making, Wade Barrett faced off against Daniel Bryan, Smackdown’s Mr. Money in the Bank. Bryan, gaining momentum as the week goes on, proved more than a match for the bigger Barrett, utilizing his stiff, punishing blows and his European-style offensive to gain the upper hand. Barrett’s similar style came to the fore and resulted in a close, but technically unique bout, both men concentrating on wearing the other down more than attempting numerous pinfalls and looking to sneak an advantage. Eventually, after a stern battle, Bryan came out on top as he flipped Barrett over and dodging The Wasteland, dragged Barrett to the mat and locking in the LeBell Lock, Barrett had no choice but to tap out and give Bryan a second consecutive Pay Per View victory, continuing his rise to the top of World Wrestling Entertainment. At the contests end, Bryan showed great sportsmanship in offering his hand to Barrett after a hard fought battle. Barrett thought about it, before shocking everyone and shaking the hand of the American Dragon! Bryan seemed as surprised as anyone as he looked on at Barrett who took his leave, simply walking up the ramp to the back. Now it was time for the first title match of the night, Kelly Kelly defending her WWE Divas Title against the newly rejuvenated and newly ferocious ‘Glamazon’ Beth Phoenix. Halfway through the contest, after Phoenix tossed Kelly Kelly to the outside, she distracted the referee, and before Kelly could react, she was brutally attacked by Natayla Neidhart who threw her into the steel steps, seemingly seriously injuring her shoulder, before throwing her back in the ring to Phoenix and a couple of minutes later, after The Glamazon had had her way with her, The Glam Slam was all that was needed for the one, two, three to make Beth Phoenix the new WWE Divas Champion!! At the contests end, Natayla entered the ring and for a few moments, it seemed something was brewing, but it seemed that was simply friendship and respect as Natayla raised Beth’s hand into the air, the two smiling and high fiving, a new dominant force having seemingly erupted, threatening to sweep over the entire WWE womens division. In the first of the double main event for the evening, Christian defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton in a No Holds Barred match. Despite this rivalry being months old, the tension and hatred between the two rose to new levels during this intense fight, and that was what it was. Very little of it remained in the ring, spilling to the outside areas, including into the crowd, and at one point, to the back. Back at ringside, the two went to war with eachother, the underside of the ring being cleared of its components, everything from a steel chair to a road sign being brought out to inflict punishment on the opposition. The end came when Christian used the referee as a shield and when done, he took advantage of Orton’s loss of concentration as he nailed him with a low blow, a rake to the eye and then not one, but TWO Killswitches to secure the retention of his title. After the match, in a ringside interview, Christian had this to say: “finally, on this night, I only only retained MY World Heavyweight Title, but I ended Randy Orton’s dreams and put him out of his misery ... problem ... solved ...” Then, it was time for the main event, and what many called the most historically significant match the WWE, in its current form, has ever had. Two WWE Champions in CM Punk and John Cena, with Triple H stuck in the middle as special guest referee, battling for the honor of becoming the sole and Undisputed WWE Champion. The tension between the three was evident, Punk and Cena both having words with the boss and telling him to call it fair, which he pledged to do in an interview earlier in the night. Punk though showed his smarts, he was the man to go after Cena whilst he talked to The Game, hitting him around the head with his belt before the bell was rung. Triple H ticked him off, but unable to do something due to the bell not yet having been rung, Triple H’s hands were tied and Punk smiled, knowing he was challenging Triple H and the Chief Operating Officer’s newly attained authority. The match itself was as hard fought and at times, chaotic as the battle they had at Money in the Bank. Cena showed good awareness as he prayed on the right arm of Punk, slightly injured by Alberto Del Rio on Monday night. Punk seemed to suffer, at times surviving and nothing else, though able to use his other arm, and more so, his stiff kicks - the most effective part of his arsenal - to try and dent the offensive attack of John Cena at any given point. Many pinfall attempts were made, and at various stages, it seemed Triple H was favouring either man, leading both men’s confidence in the boss to dwindle as the match went on, Punk especially seeming more and more perturbed at the C.O.O, threatening Triple H, who tried to remain calm when faced with the challenge. The end of the match came when Cena was tossed into Triple H by CM Punk. Cena was furious and he and Triple H faced off, both men believing the other was to blame. The two went nose to nose, before Punk approached Cena and delivered a low blow! Triple H looked on and verbally derived Punk, then went to the timekeeper, ready to call for the bell ... before stopping ... Triple H gets back to Punk and the two stare down ... and then smile!! The crowd sees something is up, and without a moment’s notice, Triple H hooks the arms of John Cena ... PEDIGREE! PEDIGREE! PEDIGREE!! The crowd can’t quite believe it as Triple H points and Punk drops to the mat and makes the cover on a down and out John Cena ... and Triple H counts to three! CM PUNK IS THE UNDISPUTED WWE CHAMPION!! JR screams at the top of his lungs as Triple H screws over John Cena!! The crowd doesn’t know what to say or do, but the reaction in all is extremely mixed. CM Punk gets to his feet and Triple H, a shit eating grin crossing his face, takes the Undisputed WWE Title from the timekeeper before coming back to the center of the ring. He and Punk share an arkward staredown before both men smile and embrace! There is audible shock at the scenes the audience are seeing as Punk is handed the WWE Title and raises it high into the air! Triple H looks on and applauds as HIS WWE Champion starts to do laps of the ring, smiling and shouting “How’d you like me now?!!” ... the crowd looks on, this reaction garnering boos. Punk stops and Triple H takes his turn in taunting the crowd, going to the ropes and exchanging verbal lambastings with various members of the ringside area. Triple H turns around ... AND PUNK HITS HIM RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES WITH THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE BELT!! The biggest roar of the night goes up, followed by a state of silent shock. Triple H goes down, out cold, as CM Punk stands above him. CM Punk has just layed out his own boss and the man that helped him win the title just moments prior! Punk smirks and makes his Go To Sleep motion as he sits, legs folded in the center of the ring, Triple H one side of him, John Cena the other. He looks out into the crowd before looking at his WWE Title and then raising it high into the air. This is the image we’re left with as Summerslam goes off the air, with more answers than questions ... -- The biggest roar of the night goes up, followed by a state of silent shock.

The Faithless Adam Cole Randy Orton The Game Triple H

Not posted in here for a while. Things have got better for my beloved Bournemouth since. We did lose Eddie Howe and our two top strikers, but we keep on going strong which is good to see. The Colchester/Rochdale games were weird. I went to both, and even got on TV at the Colchester game! I was one of the guys interviewed before the match. Off to the Plymouth match tomorrow and hoping for another win. Good chance with Brighton and the Scummers not playing. UTCIAD.

The Cowell was right RE; Aidan. Not self indulgent as such, but it never picked up and stayed too slow paced for too long.

Baggs is bringing this thing home baby~!

Hicks and Gillett have lost it. They are seeking $1.6 billion in damages and have apparently got an injunction to stop the sale of the club.
