Andoni Iraola bringing 1 of his own staff in 1 Season at
#afcb
has improved players, staff individually & as a team has made us more dynamic, more brave & kept us honest through the progress.
Bravo gaffer & Thank you ๐๐๐
#afcb
He saw Wilson exit the building & he grabbed the opportunity with both hands to be the main man for
#afcb
The last 4 seasons he has given his all for the badge, worked tirelessly to improve & is now a club legend.
I donโt begrudge Solanke trying to achieve career goals. ๐น๐
He is new to the UK.
He is new to the
#PL
.
He is trying implement a new culture & identity.
He has 1 of his own staff from his successful time at Vallecano.
He has no recognized CDM.
I will continue to back Iraola until he is given a fair chance to succeed.
#AFCB
Sometimes you can coach and teach players to be better, sometimes you are truly gifted like Alex Scott.
The way he backs himself and trusts himself to do well with the ball is the confidence he has in huge amounts.
He is 20 yrs of ageโฆ.my word! ๐ซ๐
#AFCB
On the 3/12 Steve Cook was likely to know that his
#AFCB
career was coming to an end but he put on that Red & Black shirt with pride as he always has & threw his body in front of a close range shot twice.
Players will always come & go, Legends are never forgotten!

How many head-coachโs would play a young struggling with confidence winger at left-back away from homeโฆ..not many.
My dreams for entertaining football under Andoni Iraola is that and some.
Get him on an extention, I need more than 2 Seasons.
Up the Cherries ๐

will be competing in the Premier League 2023-24 Season.
โข Next season will be our 7th EPL Season in the last 9.

No YO-YO here & not bad for a club that apparently to some doesnโt belong in EPL!

Mark Travers is 23 years old and 4 years off entering peak career. Football has invited him to greatness with a freak performance vs Spurs and a golden glove season in the Championship.
Football is trying to chew him up now and we have to support him and help him.
#AFCB
Mark Travers has shown so much maturity coming back into the team with calmness & decisiveness which has helped our defenders look so much more comfortable & they have been able to focus on their own tasks fully.
Keep it up Travs & well done on clean sheets ๐งค
#afcb
Remember the date 19/6/2023 when Bill Foley took the decision to switch OโNeil for Iraola knowing that almost everyone outside the club & a small minority inside wouldnโt get it just to try & give us footballing happiness & enjoyment most weeks.
Bravery wins every time!
#AFCB
Unless Fulham or Wolves pull something out the bag,
#AFCB
have had the most shots on target for the 2nd Consecutive
#PL
game-week.
Have you invited A.Iraola onto MNF Football yet
@Carra23
@GNev2
?
Asking for a friend who would love to know how he is tactically doing it!
It canโt be full on Iraola-ball every game especially when you have 3 games in a week but Iraola got that tactically spot on.
Zabarnyi a machine, Senesi feet are exceptional and I am buzzing for Moore who needed that and we wouldnโt be here without him. ๐ซถ๐
#AFCB
You came here to be given a chance in the game.
I doubted your full ability in the early days but with hard work, desire & classy professionalism you became a superstar propelling us back to the promise land.
Thank you for the memories Dom, all the best legend ๐น๐๐ซถ
#afcb
Spare a thought for Jack Stacey at some point, his confidence must be shot to pieces from last couple of yrs.
This season he has been 3rd RB and also had to sit back and see a CB, Winger and LB play his natural position.
You always gave it everything Jack๐

Andoni Iraola writing

history in quick time.
๐ซ First time we have beaten Man United at Old Trafford in the

After todays result vs Nottingham Forest , Andoni Iraola has led

Smith gave away a penalty in 2015 and thought he had ruined our promotion. Today he may have just rewritten history and won us a penalty that could be the difference between automatic promotion or Play offs.

VAMOS! ๐คฉ
Well done to Bill Foley for holding his nerve against some of the media who have no idea because they probably never actually took the time to understand what we want & how we want to do it.
Rome wasnโt built in a day but Iraola is laying those foundations now!
In the last 10
#PL
Seasons only Man City, Liverpool & Spurs had beaten Man United by 3 goals or more without conceding at Old Trafford and today THE CHERRIES joined that exclusive club.
Does this mean we are massive? ๐
#AFCB
Thank you to Neil Blake, Richard Hughes and Simon Francis for identifying Andoni Iraola & for persuading Bill Foley to switch head coach without delay.
Now please convince Andoni to stay for much longer & give him the best office in our new incoming training ground.
#afcb
If Meps does leave permanently, he will leave with his head high and I will thank him for his commitment.
He has never stopped trying for the club and he showed great professionalism to improve through adversity.
#afcb
๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ Chris Mepham will leave Bournemouth in this window, either on loan or permanently.
Ipswich, Torino and Anderlecht all in the race with more expected to join as heโs ready to try new chapter.
Am home & given the wife & kids a big hug. Life is so delicate & makes you pause sometimes.
Well done to the everyone within the stadium who played a part in helping Tom Lockyer & I am thinking of Tom and his family right now.
Football Family showed its class.

The unselfish work Unal is doing to help the team and Dom have space is reminiscent of Kermogant.
He has made a massive difference to our game and threat in the second half.
#afcb
Reality.
Everton appoint an established head coach with over 250 Premier League Games.
Wolves appoint an established head coach that has managed nearly 300 games for teams like Sevilla, Porto and Spain.
We appoint Gary OโNeil with a record of 12 interim games!
#AFCB
I am a huge Tavernier fan but not even I can back his recent performances and lack of enthusiasm.
He has lost his mojo and we are losing a talent on the pitch right now ๐ฉ
Letโs hope he turns a corner soon cos we have
#PL
points and a
#FACup
journey to achieve.
#afcb
Seems to be a good day for news today.
It may have taken 12 weeks to come back but a lesion I had removed from my leg is benign (non cancerous).
Mind put at rest on that. On we move ๐
I am sorry but it wouldnโt be fair right now to anyone if I canโt give ๐ฏ.
I donโt want anyone to worry about me but I need to just breathe and get some important stuff sorted out.
Get behind the Cherries as we still have so much to play for ๐
#afcb
Iraola is doing a great job and he might be starting to cook with 1 of his own staff and the rest of his inherited backroom staff and the playing squad starting to believe in the process.
We have absolutely battered 2
#PL
football teams back to back!
#AFCB
That win over Fulham means that we have won 4 consecutive Premier League games for the first time in our history!
Andoni Iraola, Tommy and the whole team break another record. Magical ๐
#AFCB
I know we have a few more dollars now to throw around but how many improved signings is that now that we successfully pulled off cos we upgraded our Head Coach to Andoni Iraola?
#AFCB
As a Supporter who dedicates a lot of my life to

in so many ways, I am bloody delighted to see that we will be a Premier League club again next season.
We have achieved what was possible as the season evolved.

Now letโs stay up shall we!
Up the Cherries ๐
#AFCB
Didnโt look or sound like a cracker but that is now 5 unbeaten in the
#PL
with 4 wins.
That now puts us on 41pts after 30 games which is 2 more pts than we got for the whole of last Season and we have scored 7 more goals as-well.
11th for Iraolaโs Barmy Army ๐คฉ๐
#AFCB
Consistency, Consistency, Consistency!
The reason the officiating is on the floor is because 1 week you can give a ridiculous handball and then the following week they then decide a similar handball is not a penalty.
Want respect, earn it.
#afcb
What a rollercoaster week for my lad!
Started his 12th Season following his beloved Cherries away from home.
Had some tough news to deal with on Monday.
Passed his GCSEโs & got a place for his triple sport education course.
Me and your Mum Proud of you boy๐ซถโค๏ธ๐
#AFCB
1 year ago today Moore put a smile on my face and scored vs Millwall 1-0 in the last game of promotion season.
Today Kieffer Moore put a smile on my face in the sun, What a guy!!! ๐คฉ๐
btw I am 5ft 8 in real life ๐
#AFCB
Eddie Howe remains the only
#afcb
manager still to win 3
#PL
games in a row last achieved back in March 2016 but Andoni Iraola is bringing the fun and exciting times back to the Cherries and I am just loving so much about the team right now!
#AFCB
Just wanted to say a massive Thank you to all the kind people who have left kind messages & checked in.
It has reassured me that I have made the right decision now & that there are many amazing people with wonderful hearts in this world.
Right..Letโs beat Fulham.
#afcb
๐
Amazing how quickly a human can recover to look in good form 3 months after releasing intense managing , Var and Ryan Fraser from your life. Great to see you again Gaffer, unbelievable knowledge and class. Only regret is that I wish you had shared the burden. Legend ๐
Credit where credit is due, it would have been so easy to bring Pearson for Lerma knowing a draw was ok but to bring on Kieffer Moore showed bravery. I will happily hand that to Scott Parker.
We might need some more of that from August.
Iโm tired ๐ด
#afcb
The last thing i this week is to see Danjuma linked with Premier League Clubs in and around us.
Surely we canโt let this happen if he is potentially available, Bill Foley is meant to be a game changer!
#AFCB
Itโs a broken record but Meps is capable of having a good game and boy he did yesterday. Will he keep his spot once new cbโs arrive and settle, maybe maybe not, will he stay, I think he now will because he has shown before that he is a fighter. Well done Chris ๐.
#afcb
See what we can achieve when we are the 12th man. Crowd was unreal last night.
By the way that 98th min equaliser vs Fulham and the comeback vs Swansea was pivotal.
#AFCB
If you want
@AaronRamsdale98
back home in an
#afcb
shirt we need to keep highlighting how much he is loved and wanted in our progressive journey.
For the life of me we canโt let him join any
#PL
clubs similar to us especially Wolves.
You know what to do Foley ๐๐ผ ๐
He loves a thumbs up & I am all here for it!
I have loved Andoni Iraola from the minute he walked through the door & he has shown courage, honesty & passion to drill in a positive transformation & we are reaping the rewards right now.
Oh and 1 fitness coach ๐
#AFCB
This morning I would like to place an individual thread on our defenders yesterday that have to not only be focused on their own jobs and commitment to the task but they also have the added pressure of guessing what Neto is doing or going to do.
#afcb
1/7
Did Scott Parker tell the team that no one could get engaged ๐ during the season and now the green light has been given ๐ฆ๐คฃ
Congrats to Meps and Kieffer ๐ซถ
#AFCB
This is nothing against Neto, he looks a fun character but Iโm ready to have Travers back in the starting XI.
It seemed a good call to whip him out the firing line for a rest but keeping him out for too long could have a different reaction.
#afcb
I see two thingsโฆ.
1: A guy taking accountability for his unnecessary sending off vs Wolves and making up for it and some.
2: Someone now playing without fear after career setbacks. Credit to him and anyone who has helped him get his mind in a strong place.
๐๐
#AFCB
I am already loving Cantwellโs cheekiness and confidence when the ball comes in to him. When he is in full flow and allowed to have the freedom of the pitch he should be a delight to watch.
Canโt believe itโs 7 years since my brother lost his battle and his life.
Make the most of everyday and enjoy the good things in life especially at this colorful time of the year. โค๏ธ
Andoni praises the team and you can also see that he challenges the team collectively because he believes in the strength and quality of the squad.
I barely hear excuses, I always can relate to his comments and it continues to be refreshing.
#AFCB
Right, we should know how Saturday 5:30pm kick off Match Day should play out by now.
๐ฃ๏ธ Get behind the lads and back the team for 90mins to a result & some points.
๐ Show appreciation after the game for 1 of the greatest players to wear a Cherries Shirt Nathan Ake.
#AFCB
So I had minor surgery yesterday which was a success and they told me to take it easy on my feet for 7 days.
That might be a challenge inside Dean Court on Saturday when Solanke proves he is better than Toney ๐
#afcb
Please keep writing us off

You need to understand that we are built differently when not scripted.
What a night for the Cherries and it wonโt be the last ๐
#afcb
Mr Lloyd Kelly (Captain)
I wasnโt sure when I saw him set up at LB but then within minutes I saw Burnleyโs rapid winger and understood ๐. Well done Iraola.
Kelly has shown some real strength and is immense right now.
Block Spurs please. Well done Lloyd.
#AFCB
In a team that lacks leadership I saw 2 on the field yesterday and 1 was Mr Lloyd Kelly when that 2nd Goal went in.
His contract may be slim and he may leave but give him the armband back vs Burnley because he has grown through adversity.
The irony!
#AFCB
The next 9 days could be season and club defining.
We need to have no regrets, we have talent to hurt any team but I would say that we need to re balance our formation from Sat and get a leader in this team for the last 3.
Gary Cahill could be the answer.
#AFCB
#EFL
Tyler Adams looks a proper CDM.
Impressive performance today showing exceptional skills in scanning of the field and reading of the game which results in him having a high percentage of interceptions.
Cook also adapted well today playing more advanced at times.
#afcb
Soโฆโฆ
Things imo have to get really bad for us to go down without being disrespectful.
We need to pick up pts but we also need to use this season to build actual foundations with proper structure & support Iraola so we can achieve some of this vision next season.
#AFCB
Massive balls by the Owner today knowing that fans from 19 other clubs and the media from a distance who watch 4 minute highlights would scratch their head.
I fully credit that, it shows bravery and it will likely help the recruitment team massively this summer.
#AFCB
Looks even more likely that Steve Cook will NOT be a
#afcb
player by the end of January.
I hope his next club is the best it can be for both parties and surely we have to give him a testimonial with all the gang when all retired ๐.
