    Well, here I am again, twice in four days, following our 1-1 loss to The Spam on Sunday! I don't do a match thread in years and now two in a week. You could say i'm like buses, and if I was, I would be a double decker, solely for the reason that I have recently re-discovered Double Decker chocolate bars! A pretty retro choice I know, but seems fitting, as our depressing league position takes me back to around the time I used to eat them.

    Anyway, enough about chocolate, let's concentrate on the footy! Always one of my favourite games as I live half a mile from the Fray Bentos tin can, that is their Stadium! Also my company has four season tickets for our friendly little neighbours, so I will be there, in the home end, sat on my hands trying not to cheer as we continue our fine form in front of goal and come away with a 0-0 loss!

    Bournemouth factoids... did you know that the word "Bourne" has two meanings?

    1) Destination / Goal - clearly the right destination for us to go and score a goal! :emoticon-0137-clapp
    2) Boundary / Limit - combine "Bourne" with "mouth" and this clearly indicates that their fans won't have anything to shout about! :emoticon-0127-lipss

    Other Random facts:

    3) The average cherry tree has circa 7,000 cherries - so 1.6377 cherry trees would produce enough cherries to provide a single cherry to each of the supporters in their bijou stadium!
    4) An average cherry tree can be stripped and harvested in seven seconds - now where is Shane Long when you need him?!

    That's enough about Double Deckers, Fray Bentos and Cherries. It's making me hungry, so time for lunch!

    Let's get behind the mighty Saintsy Saints and make this a South Coast Trip to remember! 1-3 Saints, you heard it here first! COYR!!!

    @tomw24 can you please fill in the oficionados section?

    Double Deckers are the royal standard of chocolate bars, and I shall allow no argument.

    It’s worth investing heavily in them, as they have a good chance of replacing sterling as the national currency.

    Love a Double-Decker. Also love a Boost though. And a Mint Aero. Hard to choose between them.

    I'd probably start with Boost and Mint Aero, and then bring on Double-Decker around the 70-minute mark.

    I’d go for one of those airport Toblerones. Hard to dribble round or through and plenty of height.

    The Vestegaard of chocolate, is the Toblerone.

    Try turning one round in a confined space.

    Or anywhere, really...

    My favourites lately are either a picnic bar, or a star bar.

    Forgot about Wispa. Has to be that. Simply the best chocolate Cadbury's have ever made.
