This weekend sees the Premier League repeat the opening day fixtures of the season. United were trailing 0-1 to a 62nd minute Chris Mepham goal at The Vitality Stadium before Billy Sharp secured a share of the spoils with an 88th-minute equaliser, his first-ever Premier League goal.
This will certainly not be a ‘stroll in the park’ for The Blades. Bournemouth are showing signs of revival after their injury-wracked season which was epitomised by their 2-1 home win over Aston Villa last Saturday when they were reduced to ten men after Jefferson Lerna (missing for our game on Sunday) was sent off after 51 minutes. Stormy/windy weather is forecast for Sunday.
Meanwhile ex-Blades star David Brooks continues his long injury layoff, will definitely miss our game and is ‘hopeful’ of featuring for The Cherries before the end of the season.
Incredibly, Bournemouth were founded just ten years after the Blades (1899), but have spent the majority of their history bouncing between the third and fourth tier of English football. Our upcoming fixture is just the 15th time the clubs have met – in which time United have only lost once.
Here’s the goals from our 5-3 home win on 1st September 2012 in League One under Danny Wilson:
To show how far Bournemouth have progressed (with the help of a Russian billionaire), on 10th December 1994 this was the table for the Endsleigh League Division Two which would end with Bournemouth escaping relegation to the Third Division by 2 points:
This season is The Cherries fifth-ever in the Premier League. However…In 2016, Bournemouth were found guilty of violating the Football League’s Financial Fair Play regulations during 2014–2015, the season it secured promotion to the Premier League. The club’s over-spend broke the ‘maximum deviation’, with a £38.3 million financial loss in 2014–2015. This followed a loss of £10.3 million in 2013–2014. The club was originally fined £7.6 million by the Football League, but subsequently negotiated a settlement with a fine of £4.75 million for breaching Financial Fair Play rules. The decision followed months of speculation and investigation about the club breaking Football League regulations.
The club is currently owned by Maxim Demin, a Russian multi-millionaire involved in the petrochemicals trading industry.
