    Tell us about the time you took somebody to their first game.

    John in Manchester: I recently took my nine-month-old daughter to the Etihad, to watch Aguero take Newcastle apart single handed. Safe to say I'm getting her an Aguero kit for Christmas. (The best part was my Dad didn't come as he thought the game would be boring!)

    Maciej from Edinburgh: My granddad invited a girl to watch him play for a local team in early '50s. He was in his 20s then and wanted to impress her. First half, opposition corner, ball hits his bottom and into own net! Been together since. Both in late 80s now. Love you Grandma!

    Bottom six

    It's all looking a bit bleak for Newcastle so far this season - is today the start of a turnaround in fortunes?

    Or is it a chance for Bournemouth to pull clear?

    Bournemouth v Newcastle (12:45 GMT)

    Goals are hard to come by for the Magpies, unless they're thumping Norwich 6-2 of course. In fact they have failed to find the net in six Premier League games this term - a league high.  

    We should have team news from Dean Court shortly.

    I laughed at that photo - I can't lie to you.

    Another Get Involved topic to revisit there - times you've visited the medical rooms inside a stadium. A mate of mine had a panic attack in the Allianz Arena and was stretchered out.

    I laughed at that too. I'm a bad person.

    Morning one and all! 

    I'm pretty sure I saw a few Salford City players on their way home as I came into the office this morning. BIG celebrations after a big night in the FA Cup.

    For now we are concentrating on the Premier League...

    Tom, Aultbea: Took son's footie virgin friend from NW Scotland to see Preston v Southend in the championship. SUFC won 3-2 with 3 stunning goals, two in injury time. Fantastic atmosphere and he had eyes like saucers at the end. Ruined football for him, he'll never see a game like that again.

    Maelor, Cardiff: Took my girlfriend (a football sceptic) to watch Cardiff v Ipswich. 0-0. January. Rain. She hasn't been to one since.

    Gordon, Bristol: Took my youngest son to White Hart Lane for an FA Cup quarter final for his first match. His face lit up with the atmosphere right up until Fabrice Muamba collapsed right in front of us. Took him to the rearranged fixture but he'll never forget that first time at The Lane. Good to see Fabrice's recovery...

    Bournemouth v Newcastle (12:45 GMT)

    Jonathan Pearce
    BBC football commentator

    "On the day of the only previous league meeting at Bournemouth, Ride on Time went to number one. I loathed it. 'Gotta get up. Gotta get up!' The repetition was draining.

    "That's the danger of Bournemouth's corrosive run to their confidence. Now's the time to dig deep.

    "Yes, Artur Boruc had a howler on my last visit. But the whole side gave Spurs too much room. They need to get in Newcastle faces.

    "The visitors likewise need to worry about points, not injuries. Just one away goal scored is the worst record in in the top 10 divisions.

    "They should score, but I fancy Bournemouth's Matt Ritchie to win it."

    In their past three league games, Bournemouth have scored twice and conceded 12 goals so the way they play is clearly not working at the moment.

    Do they change their style? I think they might have to, otherwise there is only one way they are going - down.

    Newcastle have had their own problems but I think they have turned a corner recently.

    Halloween might be over for another year but don't blame some Newcastle fans if they are feeling as bad as this fan pictured at their match with Stoke City last week.

    The Toon army's journey from Newcastle to Bournemouth is bad enough for a 15:00 GMT kick-off. But a 12:45 GMT start?

    Hats off to those who got up in the small hours to make the marathon 720-mile round trek from one end of the country to the other.

    Bournemouth v Newcastle (12:45 GMT)

    So let's take a look at the early game which involves Bournemouth hosting fellow strugglers Newcastle. They might cover more ground than their opponents this season, but after an encouraging start to the season the Cherries have started to turn a bit sour. Eddie Howe's side, who are fourth from bottom in the table, are a point above the Magpies.

    Guardian

    The Guardian has a revealing chat, external with Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, whose side are without a win in five Premier League games. Despite their injury crisis, Howe is refusing to use that as an excuse and says his team's plight is because "we haven’t performed well enough and we’ve made some individual mistakes.”  

    Refreshingly honest, as always.
