This week, Treble Radio concludes its series previewing the newly promoted sides to the Premier League as we welcome Steve Jenkins of TheSouthEnd.co.uk to teach us all we need to know about AFC Bournemouth. Steve teaches us about Bournemouth’s recent history, including their famous flirtation with relegation from the Football League and rapid rise to the Premier League.
We then ask Steve to share his thoughts on manager Eddie Howe, the strengths and weaknesses of the Bournemouth squad, and what areas will need investment if Bournemouth are going to stay up.
Finally, find out how confident Steve is going into the season, as we ask for his prediction on where Bournemouth will finish in the 2015/16 Premier League season.
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Laura was trained from birth to be a Nebraska Cornhusker Football fan. Unlike most Huskers, her dad played soccer and introduced her to that sport as well, which understandably stole her heart. Laura’s love for the Spice Girls and Harry Potter carried her love for soccer across the Atlantic to a team not unlike her Huskers, Manchester United. They were once great and believe they can be again, but it hasn’t really happened yet. Laura is also a fan of the MLS team Sporting Kansas City.
Eric Walcott is a Legislative Assistant in the Michigan House of Representatives by day, and a soccer fan 24/7. He’s played soccer his whole life and now covers MLS, Portland Timbers, and Arsenal for LWOS. Eric helped start the supporters group Sons of Ransom for NPSL club Lansing United because there’s nothing quite like standing in the crowd and supporting your local team every weekend. 4th place might not be a trophy, but THE FA CUP SURELY IS!
Treble Radio host, Arslan Siddiqui, is a Canadian who does not speak many languages, but he has definitely specialized in the language of the beautiful game. When his grasp of the language isn’t strong enough, he (tries) to substitute it with comedy. He is a Liverpool fan who started the ‘Anfield Alive’ column on Last Word On Sports, where he provides commentary and opinion on everything Liverpool and Premier League related. A university student and a young adult, he promises to provide entertainment and (a little bit of) knowledge!
