I expect there were a few sore heads on the south coast this morning after Bournemouth all but secured their place in the top flight for the first time ever.
Only defeat, a Middlesbrough win and a 20-goal swing on the final day of the season can deny them a top-flight spot - it just isn't going to happen.
Just seven years ago, the Cherries almost went out of business.
Some rise eh?
