Now the Premier League season has gone past the half way mark I'd like to draw your attention to what could be either a large piece of egg over my face or a very good value for money situation
First of all many congratulations to AFC Bournemouth for coming up to the Premier League last year. I have watched your progress from an objective position, in that I'm not your run of the mill football fan, and in fact don't have a hot wired link to any specific Football team apart from being a long suffering England supporter.
Jumping to the monthly stats so far for season 2015/16
August W1 D1 L2
September W1 D0 L2
October W0 D1 L2
November W0 D2 L1
December W3 D1 L1
The December wins(3) involved wins against Man U and Chelsea when these clubs were both under a black cloud as far as management were concerned, well now it's a new year and a new month and anything can happen, but as far as I can see from previous monthly stats Bournemouth should revert back they way before December.
It's those two fortunate wins that has made the Bournemouth price drift in the relegation market as if they are now exempt from dropping down and cemented the position of Sunderland & Newcastle as certainty to go down with Aston Villa.
I don't believe believe Bournemouth are better then Man U or Chelsea they simply acquired 6 points with good fortune on their side

I remember the "where will Leicester finish thread". Most said bottom half, a whole lot of eggs needed on that one
Worst thread of the year award goes to...
If Bournemouth had a fit striker they would be in the top half of the table.

Stringer,
If Leicester can top the league then Bournemouth, with a fit Wilson, Gradel, Mings, Elphick, would almost definitely be top half.

First Premier game for Bournemouth of 2016....they LOST at HOME after spending Zillions!!!!!!
Long way to go still and very much depends on how Sunderland and Newcastle play but a good bet in my view

On the plus side...Afobe is a proven goalscorer at Championship level.

2 Apr Bournemouth Manchester C.
9 Apr Aston Villa Bournemouth
16 Apr Bournemouth Liverpool
23 Apr Bournemouth Chelsea
30 Apr Everton Bournemouth
7 May Bournemouth West Bromwich

That's a pretty gross finish to a season.

I'm happy enough just to lay them at odds-on to win a Prem game. Mustn't be greedy 
B.mouth must be down after that result - a shocker
5,6 for the Cherries - seems a generous price , all hinges on this new fella i guess
Didn't see that one coming at all. Fair play to West Ham, they were knocking the door down from the off. Bournemouth still available at 5-1 on here for relegation, so hopeful that last night was a blip.
Swansea are a value pick for relegation, imo, 4's. Some guy in charge nobody's heard of, wouldn't be surprised if it was similar to the Carver situation last season, although obviously the guy won't be as big a mug as carver. I think the only thing that comes close to being as big a mug as Carver is an actual porcelain mug
Another game goes against the expectations of the bottom three teams being Aston Villa, Sunderland and Newcastle
With Sunderland winning away 4-2, Bournemouth are now that much closer to the so called safety zone.
Bournemouths game with Norwich will be a true test of character....will they be good enough or will the failure to win against West Ham take its toll and neg them out....more to follow

Gabriel,
Your bet is looking a lot better than I had anticipated. You are spot on about Saturday...Bournemouth lose and they are right in the deep stuff. Swansea, however, look in real trouble.

Start of the season I said Bournemouth will go down despite a few good results I still think they will. Eddie Howe is the new Sean Dyche, who took Burnley up then straight back down despite being the new young hot manager.
Also down Swansea and Villa.
Also down Swansea and Villa.
One more nail in the Bournemouth coffin is their current home record.... just 2 wins
After 10 home games they are placed 2nd to last with only Aston Villa below them with 1 win
See table from soccerstats.com at my Twitter link @mostlose https://twitter.com/mostlose/status/688141998016970752
Saturday's game for Bournemouth is at home against Norwich and it looks like a draw to me, but with the market price of evens(ish) for a home win (yes they are favourite in spite of only winning just twice at home this season) it may be worth a lay, but not for much

Eeek....not what I expected....but Bournemouth have got to win at some time.
Glad to see how the relegation safety zone has moved up a few notches in regard to Newcastles position and the fall of Norwich.
Next Saturday Bournemouth playing away at Sunderland and big Sam won't go down without a fight
Swansea may well have something to say to the final placings
The relegation situation is far from over

But Sunderland will still probably lose that game, as Bournemouth are a far better side than made out on here and they definatly weren't fluke wins against Man U and Chelsea, both very average sides and its import that beat very average side which they did.
will be very disappointed if Bournemouth go down they have had several matches that they were incredibly unlucky/should have won
e.g. the away game at Liverpool where they were absolutely robbed and the home game against Newcastle who they battered 0-1
think and hope they will stay up

After today it seems evident that Norwich are barely fit to lace Bournemouth's boots, so JC , I think it could be curtains for your lads. Sorry, but we still need payback after you stole Mc Dougall, Boyer. Powell, Machin, etc. back in the Bond years. Swansea, Norwich, Villa, Newcastle and Sunderland can fight it out.
Bournemouth will stay up, too good a side to go down, half the sides in the Premier League are just Championship sides and Bournemouth won that League by a country mile last season.
had them in my 3 to go down in October/November. have given up on that now more or less. manager could be a star of the future.
they only won championship as watford conceded in injury time of last game, hardly country mile, more like short head
Aesthetically it was a real mile, not a country one.
Gabriel, there is no such a thing
as ''away form''or ''home form, just
overall home.

Bournemouth have an excellent manager, they'll stay up.
Norwich have a good manager too but third relegation spot is between them and Swansea. All depends on who can get one of their crappy forwards scoring.

had bournemouth to go down with villa and norwich at start of season. Would replace them with swansea now. Swansea have 19 points, 8 of them were picked up in August in the first 4 games. 11 points in 17 games, they are in freefall and have been for some time.
Arsenal sold Afobe to wolves for a reported £2m last Jan. Wouldn't be surprised if he does v well at Bournemouth. No surprise to see them spending that sort of cash either. Every PL club can pay those fees nowadays.

ffp will catch up with bournemouth, be like pompey in 3-4 yrs.
Financial Fair Play. Don't see how they're spending beyond their means just yet
Stop picking on the cherries you thugs!!! They will be challenging for honours next year and the pink pound will conqueor

Well, we beat Bournemouth just as comfortably in the first match, so I wouldn't get carried away. And don't forget you're splashing insane, reckless amounts on players, whereas we're operating within our means. Gap is nothing between our two clubs, imo
how are the amounts insane/reckless when they will get 60m+ in tv money (+ parachute payments at the very least) and write the cost of those players off over the length of their contracts under FFP? They've spent about £35-40m since they came up and the rest of their squad cost about 2.5m. The bottom team from next year will get at least 90m in tv money (+ even larger than current parachute payments).
Nothing like Leeds or Pompey, not gambling with future PL revenue at those amounts.

Jc, well, there is a massive gap between the two clubs. You have a Premier pedigree, European experience, a lovely ground, and comparatively a huge crowd. You are also the capital city of East Anglia. We are little Bournemouth, we come from League 2.
Swansea look as if they are going to get out of the bottom six...now there are five
With a 10 day break due to the FA cup, battle resumes with an away game for Bournemouth at Crystal Palace followed by a home game with Arsenal....looks nil points ahead for Bournemouth

Would not be so sure that they won't get at least a point from us, we played better against Spurs yesterday, but home form overall is fairly dreadful, with no one scoring and eyes seemingly on sustaining a cup run rather than consolidating League safety, wouldn't be the biggest surprise if they took all three from us.
Gabriel,
AFCB take four from six in last two games...and you are rubbing your hands?? Your optimism is boundless!!

Gabriel,
Your nonsense on here is put to bed tonight. Bournemouth's great run cotinues; your delusion now totally evident.

A couple of weeks have passed since Bournemouths away win against an under performing Crystal Palace and THREE times Bournemouth have lost at home (Arsenal, Stoke and now Everton in the FA Cup)
To recap during 2016, Bournemouth have won TWICE. The two games, against Norwich and Crystal Palace, resulted in BOTH of these teams currently holding the worst premier last six games, so to read into these previous two success that Bournemouth are destined to be mid table and I'm down and out is a bit premature
The latest test is now away against Watford, if Bournemouth lose that the relegation price will come down to a more realistic price from its current 8/1

You need a minor miracle Gabriel. Time to face the truth...your lot are doomed; little Bournemouth are staying up.
Is there a team with fewer foreign players than Bournemouth?
You couldn't pay me enough to go see a Bournemouth game. The only way I'd go an see a Bournemouth game is if someone gave me a bag of coins to throw at the players and officials.
Bournemouth is the only team in the premier league who employ less than 5 translators.
might be a little discrimination going on at Bournemouth, shame really as it takes away from the successful season they're having.
Kennels will be wagging his tail with gusto tonigght.
good derby win (and the most southerly TT fixture of all time )

Pompey fans must be looking over their garden fence wondering what the hell is going on ? 
next year could have Brighton in the mix to join them .
South coast is the future .

Bournemouth have certainly proven you don't need any quality to stay up in the premier league.
If they keep playing like this without Callum Wilson they will be winning the League, not surviving, when he returns. Gradel,Wilson,King will be the quickest trio in the Prem next year.
Point for debate
Should a club as small as Bournemouth be allowed into the big boys league ? it's disgraceful really and a national scandal that a tiny stadium is allowed in the EPL when all these 30,000 plus stadiums are idling in the Championship and even league One .

Ha ha coach. Next you will be advocating abandonment of football and live screening of competitive stadium building. Perhaps next season when those pink shirts are annihilating Man U in yet another overblown, atmosphere- free stadium, you will want Bournemouth relegated on account of offensive kit?
on a serious note though ,that pink kit is truly horrible .
a different shade of pink maybe ? or some pink -but it really hurts your eyes watching that .
Yes, kit is a shocker. Back in the 70's away kit was green and black stripes...pretty grim but better than pink!
just hard on the eyes .
happy see see them win for Kennels though regardless of kit .
Watford v Norwich gets my vote for Kit Clash of the millenium - wtf were they playing at ?
that was a full out assault on the minces

there was another one involving Roma and Palermo one year -IT WAS HORRIBLE
if you can imagine Orange .Pink and red on the same pitch ,it was like an explosion in a childrens paint factory
Mid table beckons. Now get on with improving ground capacity, in preparation for Europe in 2017. And Gabriel..bye bye Norwich.
Great stuff on goals on sunday this morning, i remember telling my swindon mate 4 years ago that matt ritchie will be a top player, he didnt believe me.
i was the first on here to predict their relegation with their open football ....
