LATEST STUFF
Swansea City are set to play hosts to Bournemouth at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday in their next EFL Championship game. Swansea City come into this game following a 2-0 win over 10-man Luton Town on Saturday at the Liberty Stadium. An early first-half goal from Welsh right-back Connor Roberts and a late second-half goal from Ghana international Andre Ayew secured the win for the Swans against Luton Town, who had defender Matt Pearson sent off in the second half.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, beat Barnsley 4-0 on Friday at Oakwell.
Goals from Denmark international Philip Billing, striker Dominic Solanke, Spanish left-back Diego Rico and young forward Sam Surridge ensured a comfortable victory for Bournemouth.
The two clubs last faced each other in 2018 in the English Premier League, with Bournemouth beating Swansea City 1-0. A first-half goal from winger Ryan Fraser, now at Newcastle United, secured the win for Bournemouth.

THEY PLAYED FOR BOTH CLUBS
Yes, they probably did.
WHAT IS A BOURNEMOUTH ?
Its an odd stat but the club that is Bournemouth is called the cherries, and everyone from Bournemouth still hasn't actually had some cherries and lost them. It may well be that this could happen in the future, but as it hasn't happened yet its a real Bournemouth fact. Bournemouth has a pier, it was set on fire by the IRA by all accounts and in the summer of 2020 twenty eight thousand morons or indeed non morons all sat on the beach together and passed on a variety of illnesses including the ficticous Covid-19 which isn't real unless you die from it. Then it all of a sudden becomes very real.
SO, WHAT ELSE DO WE KNOW ?
Between August 1963 and October 1964 the Beatles played more live gigs in Bournemouth than anywhere else in the UK, outside of London. This may well have had a detrimental effect on the local populous. John Lennon bought a house for his Aunt Mimi in neighbouring Sandbanks and spent a lot of his time with her there. The identity of Jack the Ripper is still unknown to this day. One of the men who the police suspected at the time was Montague Druitt. He was a barrister whose body was found in the River Thames shortly after the last murder. Could the killings have stopped because the killer himself was dead ? Druitt used to play cricket for the gentlemen of Bournemouth. Cricket is a game where a ball is hit with a bat, much the same as a head is hit with a bat in Whitechapel or in any other situation where a head is hit with a bat.
This is the Beatles yesterday at the old Boscombe charity clothes shop, less than 50p section.
This is Steve Cooper, lovely chap.
COOPER TALKS
It makes for a mouthwatering prospect, and a game the Swans are very much looking forward to. "They've scored a lot of goals recently. For me, they're the strongest squad - in terms of talent and depth - in the league," said head coach Cooper. "I'm not surprised at how well they're doing with the amount of good players they have at their availability. They can make loads of changes and they don't lose any strength in the team.
"But we're at home and we want to win.
"We just know that when we come up against them on Tuesday and when we play them again later in the season, it's going to be as tough a game as any. "But at the end of the day, we need to get excited about these games."

Pleased we have managed to get a foothold in the game, but in truth Bournemouth look more dangerous than we do. Our best prospect of a goal is probably a move where Ayew and Dhanda combine. | | | |

Choppy bunch ain't they.
Hopefully someone will stick one on Brookes in the second half.
A new partnership in the back 3 is doing ok. pleased to see Cabango standing his ground.
I don't trust this ref though.
Grimes more involved and it doesn't matter that he's slow tonight.
As long as our concentration doen't drop we can stop them scoring.
0 - 0 or 1 - 0 |  |

Dhanda wasting chances. |
He does all the approach work then wastes it at the last with a poor pass or misplaces cross or shot.
We're getting more into it now though. I wish Billings would pull a muscle though! | |

Dhanda wasting chances. |
Lovely touch and vision - but needs to man up. Lost count how many times he's been ragdolled. A luxury player and not suited for these tussles with the best teams.
Palmer asap to get into 'em | |
