    390 - Newcastle vs AFC Bournemouth: The STRIKING Eddie Howe Parallels
    2026/04/16
    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
    2026/04/14
    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.
