In this episode, Wolfie breaks down the tactical reality of the fixture, looking ahead to the expected lineups and debating who should get the nod to start the final game of the campaign. With the pressure lifted, will we see the lads play with ultimate freedom, or will some rotation give fringe players a final chance to impress before the summer transfer window opens?

Huge controversy at the London Stadium as Arsenal snatch a massive three points away to West Ham. The Hammers thought they had rescued a dramatic injury-time equaliser, only for VAR to rule it out after a lengthy review. Was it the correct decision, and could VAR ultimately decide the Premier League title race? Meanwhile, Manchester City kept the pressure on with a win over Brentford to remain five points behind with a game in hand. But has that costly draw against Everton F.C. already sealed their fate?

AFC Bournemouth return to Dean Court this Sunday looking to keep their momentum going - but standing in their way is a tough Crystal Palace side, infamously hard to beat, and chasing European glory. With the Cherries still pushing towards that “promised land”, this is exactly the kind of game that has to be won… but as we've seen this season, results at home against teams around us haven't always gone to plan. After an 11-day break, Andoni Iraola's men have no excuses — it's time to bring the intensity, press from the front, and go full Iraolaball from the first whistle. Meanwhile, Palace arrive having played twice in that period, showing both their quality and vulnerability. So… can Cherries finally deliver when it matters most? Sam and Tom go through a vital Sunday showdown with the South Londoners, providing the latest team news, and their predictions. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.

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.

AFC Bournemouth's season is heating up at just the right time
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?

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.

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.

Coming up against Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth, the away sides' victory wasn't just a smash-and-grab - it was a game where Iraola's structure, pressing, and in-game adjustments exposed the cracks in Arteta's system.

Emma Middleton from BBC Sport explains. We also hear from some fans around the world. It's not just English and Welsh football. Celebrities are also buying into American football teams, Formula One and cricket with the Indian Premier League. Journalist Janhavee Moole tells us about the situation in India.

The MLS season is heating up and we've got takes. MLS analyst Matt Doyle stops by to help us separate early-season overreactions from real trends. Is Julian Hall's breakout with the New York Red Bulls the beginning of a superstar arc or just a hot streak? Are Inter Miami CF papering over long-term roster concerns despite their win over Orlando City SC? And can the early momentum from the San Jose Earthquakes — and Timo Werner — actually last? We dig into what's real, what's noise, and what it means moving forward. Then we head across the Atlantic for an incredible conversation with Steve Fletcher, assistant coach and club legend at AFC Bournemouth. Fletcher gives us insight into why Tyler Adams is one of the most respected players at the club, how his leadership extends far beyond the pitch, and why every team needs a player like him. If you're an American soccer fan, this is one you won't want to miss. We also dive into the impact of manager Andoni Iraola and how his consistency, culture-setting, and tactical identity have helped elevate Bournemouth in the Premier League. Fletcher reflects on his own storied career — from signing in the early '90s to becoming the club's all-time appearance leader — and what it means to represent one club for over three decades. MLS chaos, Premier League insight, and legendary football stories all in one episode.

AFC Bournemouth are redeveloping the Vitality Stadium — bringing more premium hospitality, expanded media facilities, and a "step forward" in the club's long-term growth. But for some supporters, that progress comes at a personal cost. In this video, we discuss the difficult trade-off at the heart of the stadium plans: growth vs loyalty. With some fans needing to relocate — or potentially pay more to keep their seat — is this simply the reality of modern football economics? Or should match-going supporters be better protected when big decisions are made? We look at: ▫️ Why hospitality revenue is so important for a club of Bournemouth's size ▫️ The financial realities behind stadium expansion ▫️ The emotional impact on supporters being asked to move ▫️ Whether this was truly unavoidable — or could it have been handled differently There's no easy answer here. Progress often demands compromise, but football is nothing without its fans.

AFC Bournemouth may have “only” drawn with Aston Villa on the scoreboard, but on the pitch this felt like a performance that said far more. In this match review, we break down a dominant display from the Cherries as Andoni Iraola's side controlled large spells of the game, pressed relentlessly, and limited a strong Villa team to very little. From the structure out of possession to the confidence in build-up, this was another example of Bournemouth looking well-drilled, fearless, and tactically mature. With rumours and discussions growing around Iraola's future, performances like this only strengthen the argument that the club should be moving quickly to secure his long-term commitment. This wasn't a smash-and-grab point — it was a statement showing how far this team has come. We'll analyse: ▪️ Why Bournemouth looked the sharper side throughout ▪️ How Iraola's tactics nullified Villa's threat ▪️ Key individual performances, including Rayan (obviously!) ▪️ What this result says about the manager's future and the direction of the club Learn more about your ad choices.

A big win away at Wolves, twinned with a relatively calm but purposeful transfer window, signalled that AFC Bournemouth might be "back". The Cherries fanbase are cautiously starting to believing that things might be clicking again, and with the table looking a lot more healthier, could the win at Molineux be the springboard for Cherries to have a second half of the second that supersedes the first? In this video, we break down Bournemouth's victory in the Black Country, we analyse the showing of debutant Rayan, plus we ponder the performances from other star performers including Eli Junior Kroupi and Alex Scott.

AFC Bournemouth turn their attention to Wolves next, but there's more to this fixture than just three points. In this video, we question why Rob Edwards made the bold decision to leave promotion-chasing Middlesbrough for a relegation battle at Wolves, and what that tells us about the scale of the challenge facing them right now. From a Cherries perspective, the timing couldn't be more interesting. Bournemouth come into the game with momentum, confidence, and growing excitement around the squad — not least the possibility of a first appearance for exciting new Brazilian signing Rayan. Could this be the moment fans finally get a glimpse of what the club believes could be a future star? Thank you to everyone who has contributed to all our platforms.

Everyone wants to recruit like Brighton - smart data-led signings, huge resale value, and a clear long-term plan. AFC Bournemouth are looking to replicate their model, but how far off are they? In this video, we break down Bournemouth's ambition to follow the Brighton recruitment model, but given our the evidence that high player turnover seems to result in a culture of impermanence and uncertainty, we ponder the type of signings Cherries might need in order to prevail - both this season, but also long term. Plus, a look forward to Monday night's huge game at the Amex where Cherries and Seagulls face off in a clash between two sides that have perhaps been underwhelming this season - is that fair?

On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show, Wayne Kimmel interviewed Jeff Mostyn, the Former Chairman of AFC Bournemouth. There have been few constants in AFC Bournemouth's incredible rise to the Premier League. Aside from the sight of the inspirational performances from the team, achieving the almost impossible by reaching the Premier League in 2015, it is an almost unrecognisable club from just ten years ago. But its fairy tale success wouldn't have been possible without the boardroom backing of former Chairman Jeff Mostyn following his purchase of the club in 2007. The club has now become one of the most progressive and admired clubs, both on and off the field within the English football pyramid. Mostyn now stands as an immensely well-respected figure not only in the English game but also on the Global stage due to his unparalleled knowledge of the Football Pyramid. He has held places on the board of the Football League and the Football Association Council and is just as influential in the local area, contributing as an ambassador to the club's Community Sports Trust where he remains a trustee. Mostyn is also part of a small group of Football Chairman to have held the position at the same club in the top four divisions, along with Swansea City's Huw Jenkins and Dave Whelan at Wigan Athletic. In 2011 he was elected by the 72 Football League Clubs to represent them on the FA Council working on several of the Football Association committees, including those for Disability, FA Youth and Compliance Monitoring, as well as chairing the prestigious FA Challenge Cup Committee. In 2012 Jeff was elected to the Board of Directors of the Football League. During the 2015/16 season Jeff was elected as an FA England Team Ambassador, supporting the FA and England teams overseas. Following the club's administration in 2009, Mostyn stepped down to become Vice-Chairman of the club, before once again taking up the position of Chairman at AFC Bournemouth in September 2013, with a historic promotion to the English Premier League following less than two years later. Away from football, he is a family man and has been married to his wife Rose for 44 years and has four children. Amongst Jeff's charitable work he supports Prostate Cancer UK and is a patron for Dorset Cancer Care Foundation, Ambassador of Julia's House Children's Hospice, Ambassador of Lewis-Manning Hospice Care. Jeff is a global ambassador for Football for Peace and had the honour of presenting to dignitaries at the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2019. Jeff was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Bournemouth University in Business Administration in November 2017, in recognition of his work at AFC Bournemouth and the Community. Jeff received a Fellowship of the FA Council in 2021. Finally in 2023 The Premier League acknowledged Jeff's contribution to the League and the wider Football Family with a personal award. The rise of AFC Bournemouth from the depths of despair in 2006 to the glorified heights of the English Premier League is one of sports greatest ever achievements. It was once described as a Hans Christian Anderson fairy story that somehow came to life. Jeff Stepped down as Chairman of the football club in December 2022, taking up a role as Ambassador for the clubs, Community Sports Trust. On the 30th October 2025, Jeff published his autobiography “The Chairman”Chapters00:00 Introduction to Jeff Mostyn and AFC Bournemouth01:35 Jeff's Journey to Bournemouth Ownership05:04 Emotional Rollercoaster of Football Ownership08:50 The Impact of Community and Relationships12:49 Writing 'The Chairman' and Contributions from Football Royalty17:57 The Journey to Premier League Promotion22:56 Building a Successful Team Culture28:05 The Future of AFC Bournemouth and Community Engagement29:20 World Cup Excitement and the Power of Football
AFC Bournemouth's recent record against Newcastle United has been remarkable, not losing in six games - some Mags even think the sequence of results is even conspiratorial! However the recent form of Eddie Howe's side has improved recently, rising to sixth in the Premier League, and with a keenness to ensure his side retain their momentum, the former Cherries gaffa will be wanting to end the Geordies sorry run with victory over Andoni Iraola's side. Sam and Tom are at the Queens Park as we look forward to Saturday's FA Cup Third Round tie. Visit the QP at 482 Holdenhurst Rd, Bournemouth, BH8 9AR.
