Our story is written like no other ✍️
From being on the brink of extinction, to playing in Europe. Always advancing, never retreating.
This club is so special ❤️
People can be a bit sniffy at what Andoni Iraola has "achieved" but this is just another incredible achievement by him.
At Mirandes he took them to a Copa del Rey semi final where they ran Real Sociedad pretty close having knocked out Villarreal and Celta.
At Rayo he took them back up despite the chaos and stabilised them in LaLiga laying the foundations for the past two seasons.
He's taken a club with the 16th biggest budget in the Premier League into Europe after 3 seasons of selling their best players.
He's an incredible coach and for me one of the most underrated, he might not have a huge trophy cabinet but he's improved clubs and players everywhere he goes all while playing attractive football.
I’ve just scrolled the timeline and seen a fan from pretty much every club post a screenshot of Arsenal getting away with wrestling in the box against their club ffs
Bournemouth's most memorable victories under Andoni Iraola:
🗓️ 9 December 2023: Manchester United 0-3 Bournemouth
🗓️ 31 August 2024: Everton 2-3 Bournemouth
🗓️ 19 October 2024: Bournemouth 2-0 Arsenal

🗓️ 7 January 2026: Bournemouth 3-2 Tottenham
🗓️ 24 January 2026: Bournemouth 3-2 Liverpool
🗓️ 11 April 2026: Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth
Their 3-2 win over Everton saw them become the only side in Premier League history to win a match from two goals down after 87 minutes.
Declan Rice has mastered the art of looking busy on a football pitch. The casuals love it, the analytics guys love it, I see through it. He is not elite in any sense of the word, Another mark noble. A 3/10 on his best day. Overrated.
Slot blaming scheduling & player availability for Liverpool’s defeat is poor.
#AFCB have eight players out with injury, one senior winger available, & named three academy talents on the bench.
Credit has to go to Iraola, & his side tonight.
Showed real character.🍒
