Apparently, in 1997, when the local authorities were changed (again) a question was asked in Parliament (HoL) along the lines of 'does this mean Bournemouth is again in Hampshire....'?
To which the Minister replied 'well, yes...I suppose it does'
Which may be why The Association of British...
He's probably better than any of your midfielders.

And if Steve Cook really did cost only £150k from B&HA, that was an absolute steal. He was outstanding today. Won every header and made some crucial, last-man, goal-saving tackles.
I think he's the 2nd-highest scoring PL defender in the time we've been in the PL.
We don't actually know, because AFCB never release the figures for players bought or sold.
Begovich was rumoured to be £8 million but of course, as with pretty much every transfer, there are a whole raft of conditions built into transfers and final price.
The most likely accurate figure, is...

From a neutral perspective, you could be down to 10-men, as Murray couldn't have complained had he picked up a red for that tackle.
Shawcross couldn't have complained had he seen red for that forearm smash.
Lots more goals in this game methinks; two very woeful defences.

Ive been keeping an eye on Dunk (since we were linked to him a few years back) and - whilst I'm obviously biased - and I don't think Dunk is anywhere near as good as Cook. Next season will allow for a more balanced comparison, given both will be up against the same attacks.
I would be very...
Oh, congrats on the promotion by the way. I think you'll find it very tough in this division but then most promoted clubs do. Still, nice to see such a southern flavour to England's top flight. Even though you've moved some way from the coast, you're still further south than St. Mary's.
Picked up a few player of the season awards for 2017.
Regularly topped the PL defender stats.
Scored a couple of crackers.

Clucking bunch of double-post ar$e.
Anyway, where are Torquay and Plymouth (to say nothing of Calshot and Lee-on-the-Solent) if there are four 'south-coast clubs' and who moved the Rivers Test & Itchen eight miles south?
