Heads up that I’ll be off social media for a bit. Giving it all up for lent as of Tuesday and will be back at Easter! If something is desperate then my DMs are open and I’ll be checking them once a week. Much love and see you on the other side!

How many players sign on elsewhere and do a six minute interview reflecting on their time at the club they're leaving. Another absolute gent moves on. @NathanAke a class act from start to finish on and off the pitch! #mcfc you have a bargain! #afcb

Today was dreadful. DREADFUL... But this: There is no one in the world I would rather have at the head of our club than Eddie Howe. Regardless of the league position or indeed the league we find ourselves in he needs and totally warrants unending support imo #afcb

Can we give some #afcb love and appreciation to the wonderful Neil Vacher who retires tonight! He did my gig here when I first watched the Cherries in 1987 and has been everything from programme seller to club secretary since. An absolute stalwart of the club and a lovely guy too
