Well, good afternoon, and welcome to the White House. It's an honor to have you join us today. And if I may say so, it's also refreshing. You are the editors and broadcasters who shape and reflect concerns in the place that is most important to every citizen, not far off Washington, but hometown America. I welcome this opportunity to get to know you, to thank you for your service to our country, and through you to speak to your readers and listeners, the people who live beyond the Potomac, and what I still can't help thinking of as the real America. By the way, our administration has quite a few members who've spent part of their careers working with you on regional stations and newspapers. Among them is our new communications director, Pat Buchanan, who is an editorial writer for the St. Louis Globe Democrat. There's another fellow, one who started as a sports announcer on radio station WOC back in Davenport, Iowa, who remembers his broadcasting days as some of the happiest in his life. I think you know his name, and as an old radio man, I view welcoming you here as an honor. Today, we've learned of the death of the head of state, Konstantin Shenenko. And I've sent my condolences to the Soviet leadership and people. I want them to know that we will deal with Chairman Shenenko's successor with an open mind and will continue our efforts to improve relations between our two nations, to settle our differences fairly, and particularly to lower the levels of nuclear arms. Tomorrow in Geneva, American negotiators will sit down with their Soviet counterparts to begin the most important arms talks in which our nation is likely to participate for the rest of this decade. I'm pleased that the negotiations will begin as scheduled. Weeks of painstaking preparation have now been completed, and although in the interest of confidentiality, I can't go into the details of our negotiating positions. Let me assure you of this. Our team stands ready to put forward concrete and constructive proposals, and they will in turn respond to good faith Soviet proposals with flexibility and an active interest. We earnestly hope that the Soviets are equally prepared for serious give and take. Our short-term goal at Geneva will be to reduce American and Soviet offensive nuclear forces, systems which are already in place, whose use would prove a calamity to tens of millions of people. Our goal for the medium term, if research goes as we expect, is to discuss how the United States and the Soviet Union can move away from sole reliance on the threat of nuclear retaliation toward greater reliance on defenses which threaten no one. Our long-term goal, the complete elimination of nuclear arms. As our negotiators begin their work in Geneva, we at home must remain firm in our resolve to maintain an adequate deterrent to war. Our negotiating flexibility must be coupled with firmness and resolve if it is to be effective in producing the outcome we all desire. Radical reductions in nuclear weapons has a step toward the ultimate goal of eliminating them. We're realistic about the differences between ourselves and the Soviets. As we pursue arms control, we will at the same time press forward on a worldwide respect for the dignity of man. In Geneva, we face a long and difficult road. To travel it, we'll need strength, patience, and allied unity. The effort will be great, and the final destination, which will so heavily depend on the Soviet intentions, is uncertain. But the road before us is the road of peace. And on that, we dare not hesitate or falter. So I'd just like to close by saying, let us travel it together. Americans united as never before. We have sent a congressional delegation, members of the Senate and the House over there, of both parties, for the sole purpose of impressing on the Soviet Union that when it comes to the water's edge, we aren't Democrats or Republicans, we're Americans. So thank you, God bless you, and yes? What changes do you foresee at the box? I think it's very hard to predict anything of the kind when you realize that the Soviet government's policy is really determined by a dozen or so individuals in the Politburo. They are the ones who chose him. It is a collective government, and while an individual once chosen by them can undoubtedly influence or persuade them to certain things that might be particular theories or policies of his, the government basically remains the same group of individuals. Well, the question that we got out of Cuba is, in my opinion, one of the people in South Florida, and if for any reason, sir, in Cuba, there would be a change of the new dictatorship, for instance, the private change of the dictatorship of the real world, we've got, but would the United States help that new government to get freedom to chance in Cuba? Well, I think all of us dream of a Cuba that would one day recognize that it should be, once again, a member of the American states in the Western Hemisphere and not a satellite of the Soviet Union. Now, there have been statements by Castro at one time or another to the effect that he wanted to talk better relations with us. We followed up on those every time, and every time they've, there's been no substance, only sound. So, we'll continue to hope. I don't know what the result would be. I'm rather hesitant in my position now to say something that might, if you're looking far afield, might bring about some abortive undertaking that would cause great tragedy to a lot of people. But just let me say that we believe that Cuba belongs back in the Organization of American States, and it can only get there by becoming a democracy instead of the totalitarian government that it is. Well, no, as of four o'clock this morning I started thinking about it after the phone call came. And, no, I had a feeling there's, first of all, there's an awful lot on my, on my plate right now that would have to be set aside. I didn't see that anything could be achieved by so going, and we discussed it in the office this morning, but, no, I, I lean the, the other way that we have heads of state coming here. I have, at the end of the week, we'll be, I'll be leaving for Canada for a meeting that's been set up for a long time there, things of that kind, and I just, I didn't see where I could do it. And the vice president is already in Europe, so that it would seem very logical for him to do that. Thank you very much for this opportunity. Under the new social leadership, do you think that Nick Rodgers will say, Uncle, at this point, there will be any shifts you think, and Nick Rodgers' situation as it relates to us? Well, we have to believe that there will be a change, and this is one of the reasons why we're hoping we can still persuade the Congress to support us in our desire to support the countries that I call freedom fighters there, because these are people who are participants in the revolution that overthrew Samosa, and then they were thrown out of the revolution that they had helped bring about. They did much as Castro did in Cuba in the beginning, the Sandinistas, I mean. They simply took over that revolution and they have violated their promise to the Organization of American States. They asked for that, for help from the organization in getting Samosa to step down, and he did step down at the request of the organization, and that ended the bloodshed, and in doing that they had promised the Organization of American States that their goal was democracy, free elections, free labor unions, freedom of the press, observance of human rights should be in a democracy, and they have violated every one of those promises with a totalitarian form of government. Now, I believe that it is our place to lend help to those people of Nicaragua who still want the original revolution and want a democracy there, and we're going to continue to try to help them. I thought I would do a little further afield. I'm kind of concentrated here. Are you anxious perhaps to meet with the new Soviet leader and he gets to know the real world? Am I anxious to meet? Very much so, and I was with the previous three also. I was, I was ready to have a meeting, and as they themselves said, at such a time as you could have a legitimate agenda and not just have a meeting to get acquainted, but I'm looking forward to this and I could give you one figure that would kind of spell out what my problem has been, because there have been some who wanted to criticize me in contrast with previous presidents. In 48 years of eight presidencies prior to mine, there were only three leaders over that span of 48 years and eight presidents of the Soviet Union. Well, we're coming up the fourth in mine, and I've just started my fifth year. There were three of them in a little over three years, so you know you have to wait for a new man now to get in place and establish his regime and then I'll be more than ready, because I think, I think there's a great mutual suspicion between the two countries. I think that ours is more justified than theirs and at my own table here I I spoke, I've reminded of the fact that when World War II ended and we had the monopoly of the nuclear weapon and our industry was intact and had never been bombed into rubble as it had in most of Europe. If we really were the aggressor the Soviets accuses of being, we could have taken anything in the world then and no one could have stopped us and we didn't do it. Instead, we went abroad with a Marshall plan to help everyone including our erstwhile enemies and on the other hand we see their expansionism, we see it in Afghanistan, in Ethiopia, in Angola and yes, in Cuba and Nicaragua. So I'd like to have a talk and see if some way we can't someday have a meeting of minds and recognize that we well that delegation is just going home from here. I asked the leader of that delegation when they were going to go to Texas and California to see if they couldn't look at the American people, the people around them, the working people of this country and ask themselves if they thought there was any way that Americans would rather be in a war than living the way we live. And they didn't get much time to to look at it. One more. I can't tell you in detail what we're doing obviously because those four lives are at stake. The so everything we're doing is trying to find where they're located. We have appealed to others that we believe have some influence with the terrorists who kidnapped them to begin with and particularly since the one escaped. And we're doing, as I say, everything that we can we can't give details on that. We must not do anything to endanger their lives. But terrorism is a new form of warfare and the all we can do is try to meet it within intelligence efforts to find out if we can where retaliation can take place but also to work closely with our allies and other countries in the world because it's becoming more and more evident that there are some sovereign governments who are backing this terrorism. And if that's the case then we would know exactly where to retaliate for terrorist deeds. I've just been told that I can't take any more questions here and you thought that I was the most powerful fellow here, didn't you? Now I'm sorry it's just like a press conference but I want to tell you your questions were great and I appreciated them very much and if any of you any of you had one particular and you wanted to get it drop a line and we'll send it to you in writing. But what she means is I've got another hundred people from the state legislatures that are waiting for me over in the executive office building so I'd better run and get there. Thank you all very much.


Yeah, of course, we would have liked to play a little bit better, you know, coming off the conference championship on the last day where we went pretty low. The guys had high expectations, but, you know, it's different playing in a national championship event. We've never seen anything like this before with four freshmen coming to this thing. So a whole different experience and hopefully something they can learn from moving forwards. Yeah, I think we're definitely going to fall back on that. So they know they've done it before. You know, we dug ourselves a hole before and got out of it. So that's definitely objective moving into tomorrow. Yeah, just trying to keep them relaxed. That was really the key. You know, this event set up just like a tour event. So there's ropes everywhere. There's all sorts of people watching. So obviously a different atmosphere than anything they've played in, but I think they did a good job coming back on the back nine and put up a much better performance on the back than they did on the front.


Close the distance, gain a dominant position, and finish the fight. The number one goal of the battles is to strengthen the Army's core of soldiers and teach them how to close with the enemy and eventually come out on top. It builds my confidence, you know, inside the cage and outside because I know I can handle myself. We're training warriors. We're living up to the warrior ethos that we talk about in our creeds and we're passing that on through physical and mental toughness. There's always been a misconception about combattas being a sport. Combattas is not a sport, right? Army combattas, the modern Army combattas program is not for sport. It's through competition that we learn the lessons that we need to learn, what works for us and our body types. It is a vital and crucial element to a soldier's success in the field. I've deployed myself. I've had to use my hands overseas. The fact that I knew I could gave me the confidence to know that I knew exactly what I needed to do. I think that every soldier needs that and it just adds to what a soldier is. Giving someone a reason to push themselves to train to be the best person they can be, that's what the term is due. A competition like this provides that realistic training without the risk of losing a life, losing a limb or getting seriously injured because our goal of the tournament is to make sure that everybody gets that training and is able to go to work tomorrow. It is an acknowledgement of their hard work, their effort that they put into it. It's an acknowledgement of the training that they've received throughout that time whereas in a regular training environment, a regular class, it's just training. You have to exert yourself a little bit but it's just training. Through competition that's how we identify the true nature and spirit of the warrior.


In many countries around the world, including the US and Japan, there are laws in place to protect patients with rare diseases from being denied access to drugs and medical devices. Surgeons have been using off-label or self-assembled medical devices for decades to help treat these patients, but without proper authorization they can be at risk of legal action if something goes wrong. This paper argues that we need both drugs and medical devices to provide adequate care for patients with rare conditions and provides for examples of how such devices could benefit patients.

What's good Josh your boy Ross back here again with another video. So I just finished watching smackdown and I must say It was so great to see fans back in attendance at a regular Weekly show. I know we saw fans in attendance at WrestleMania. That was fantastic But to see it on smackdown was so great and what made it even better shout out to everyone That was there in Houston tonight. They was at the Toyota Center y'all showed out y'all showed up and showed out if you guys saw Smackdown you can actually see They were actually packed. They had people on the hard cam side and they had people that weren't on the hard cam side It was packed damn. They're all the way to the top and I love that Houston showed up. I wish Me dub and true Billy could have went but we actually ended up recording a live video today So at the time the paper wall the show was going on So we really wasn't going to be able to make it but next time Smackdown does come to Houston. We're definitely gonna go check it out So we can meet up with some of you guys in person at the event because I know it'll be dope But the energy from the crowd Was so great you can tell everyone missed Watching wrestling live. It was so good. Houston showed out y'all y'all may be proud man All the Houstonians that was there tonight y'all made me proud y'all showed out showed love very energetic made the show That much better man They started off the show very hot. They had to I understand why they did that they started off the show very great with a tag team match between the mysterios And edge versus the usos and roman reigns man And I thought that was a great way to start off the show because these Individuals have been in the story lines for the past couple of weeks and it got people hyped seeing roman reigns come out there and hearing Visible it was some cheers, but there was a lot of boos the the heel heat that he He's he deserves not the heel he he was getting when he was a baby face. This was the heel heat. He deserves It was so it was gratifying to hear the crowd just Hate roman reigns, but he was still getting some pretty good cheers because he's been obviously the best thing on ww television And then to hear the pop Edge got Remind me reminding me of when he was ironically in houston When he came back at the royal rumble and he got the pop then that's where they gave me that pop was so great People would love in the sea edge. This was a fantastic match, man. This I enjoy I normally don't enjoy those six man tags Because I'll be thinking they're just kind of like filler matches, you know, not really that important But I like this one in a sense because one the crowd was back So it made everything even better in two their story lines between the mysterios and edge usos and um roman reigns so it it made sense and it's just kind of a little preview To what's gonna happen potentially that money in a bank, man. This match was great When roman reigns started destroying dominic it was beautiful the heat he was getting was fantastic, bro When edge was mounting some offense and mysterios were mounting offense. The pops was crazy, bro I was just loving this. I think the best part of this match was towards the end I want to say edge hits roman with a spear outside of the ring looked very brutal and then Uh, I'm not sure if it was jimmy or j Let me know in uh in the uh in the comments down below. I know you guys will let me know I'm not sure who made the pin because I was so you know amped and hyped about the spear They got a quick uh roll up like uh, I believe one of them was using the tights on ray mysterio He got the quick roll up and then chaos ensued. So the heels end up winning the match But chaos ensued Edge starts beating them down with the chairs Uh, the usos with the chair uh with some chair shots Then roman reigns comes with the superman punch. He breaks off the leg of one of the chairs And you think he's gonna apply Uh, the same submission that edge has been applying to the usos these past couple of weeks on edge But he hits roman with a beautiful spear in the ring and he puts him in the same submission He had him in at russomania and roman tapped Roman tapped out. It was beautiful. The crowd was loving it roman tapped This was great. This was such a fantastic spot Fantastic way to get people hyped up. Do I think they possibly could have put this Put this at the end of the show. Yes, they possibly could have but I think they wanted to start to show off As high as possible and they definitely did and the last match the fatal four-way match Actually lived up. So it was actually pretty good that they kind of had the placement that they did have um Yeah, I was enjoying this segment edge looking like a total beast his uh after the you know after the match promo He had you know, he had a little interview backstage.  I was like, oh, yeah I'm loving this edginess loving the commentary like the the the intensity with edge and his promos You know, he's like, I still gotta be I gotta go to that dark place to be roman because it's gonna be a tough battle and then Seth Rollins comes out of nowhere talking his trash They're building something with sef obviously I think sef is gonna get involved. I think Sef Rollins is going to get involved in that match between roman and edge I'm not sure how they book it, but I don't think edge is gonna win. I think sef is gonna cost Edge the match I think it's gonna be a situation where edge is actually about to win Edge is actually going to beat roman reins. I think that's exactly what's gonna happen. I think they're gonna book it We're just gonna be a close match But edge is actually going to look like he's about to win And then sef may cost him because I don't think sef is gonna win the money in the bank But I think he's still gonna somehow cost him the match I I believe or maybe something happens backstage that money in the bank and they get into it and I think sef is going to cost him the match and they're probably gonna build up a sef versus edge At summer slam, which I think that is a good program a good match as well, but I do believe roman reins will retain But it's going to be because of outside interference. It's going to be one of those situations where this will be the first time that we actually will see Potentially roman like it looks like he's about to really lose this match like it's it's over for him and Then something will happen Well, I guess it wouldn't be the first time because it happened with daniel brine because he was about to lose the match with uh against uh, daniel brine if you guys remember that When I believe edge was the the referee the special enforcers special guest referee roman was that was the only other time roman was It looked like he was about to lose that match and I think this is what's gonna happen here So comment down below. Let me know. Do you guys think edge will win or do you guys think? um Roman will win due to interference. I would like to get your thoughts and opinions on that So that would be interesting and you know other matches in the show They were cool. It was just good to have the crowd there to give their energy I didn't really too much care for the other matches the only other match I really did care for was the fatal fall away and They just put that match on just Just to put it on i'm gonna be honest with you This match shouldn't have happened But they put it on because these are some of the contenders for the money in the bank on the smackdown side So they put put this match on um, and uh, it was it was entertaining this Kevin Owens Jumping off the top of the ladder To the announce taper where shinsuke was laying brutal just brutal and then Seth Rollins winning with the curb stunk to biggie on the ladder Kind of giving him momentum into money in the bank. I thought was cool. It was it was a very enjoyable match And oh, I almost forgot one big thing. I'm I'm actually glad that I remember this It was another multiple moment on smackdown fin baller has returned. I like that I think they're gonna do him justice because he he was demanding an xt once again I think they're going to do him justice here and you know what You know what if there's anybody if they build them if they continue to build him because he still Has that intensity that he has from nxt. Hopefully they keep booking them that way But I do think that would be a nice opponent for roman reins because You can say Hey, I was the very first universal champion The only reason why I had to give it up is because I got injured. So I would love to see that fin baller versus roman reins For the universal championship sign me though.  So I think they may go with that down the road if they continue I just need them to continue to book fin baller like he was in nxt This guy that's here too. He's not here to make friends. He should hurt people and win championships So I hope they do that. I think that would be great So i'm glad they did bring fin baller to nx to smackdown thought that was dope But overall from the matches that I did see in the segments that I did see this show was 10 times better because the crowd was there and they were excited This was an enjoyable go home show Because we all know Money in the bank. It's gonna have crowd there and it's gonna be entertaining I'm looking forward to money in the bank this year because this will be the first Pay-per-view outside of russia mania where we have people there and I'm looking forward to it because it's gonna be dope I think this is gonna be good.  This one's gonna be dope. So if y'all want to join me Live on youtube man, I will be streaming Probably a few minutes before the actual pay-per-view start to get everybody in and we're just gonna sit back relax And enjoy the show together and it's gonna be great, man. So Comment down below. Let me know if you guys enjoyed this smackdown Did the crowd enhance this show? Even more me honestly in my honest opinion the crowd made this show that much better That much and more enjoyable because it just made it felt good to hear people cheer chant boo It just made it made it better. You know what I'm saying? Wrestling is not wrestling without the crowds, but I appreciate all the love and support roll to 50k appreciate y'all Kicking it with me and I'll see y'all on the next one. Peace


the other week of the AFC BTB Preview show. Now before we start, you may have noticed that we're not wearing Christmas jumpers. You guys had your say on Twitter and voted 51 percent that it was too early to wear them. But nevertheless both myself and Manchester commentator Chris Temple will give you everything that's been going on in the last week. Here's what's coming up. We'll be looking back at that two wonder feet to Arsenal here at Vitality Stadium. We'll also be discussing Jefferson Berma and the impact he'd had since joining in the summer. And finally, we'll be looking ahead to tomorrow's game against Manchester City Mae'n ddweud yng Nghymru o'r ddweud ystod o'r sgol. Mae'n ddweud ystod o'r ddweud, dwi'n gweithio i ddweud y gweithio i ddweud ystod o'r arsgol. Yn ystod o'r hwylo. Brwch was perfect and the pace and precision of the finish from King was spot on. One one. Wel, what a finish that was. What a break that was. Three is at the start with, make great ground. Callumdw is extremely well here to throw it down weight-free, of course, and it's a ball about Bruxy that's put the right pace on the ball so Kingie can smash it into the top corner. Is a wopby lovely ball fade inside left long side. Clastin' that just crossed. A'r bamiann ystafell yn ddweud. Arsgol yn ddefnyddio'n ddweud. A'r ddweud yn ddweud i'r bai yn cael Lassanach.

Mae'r ddweud i'r ddweud i'r ddweud. ychewis i gael all three points against Arsenal here at Vitality Stadium. If you do want to watch the extended highlights or the full 90 minutes they are available for free on AFCB TV. Chris it was a tough day at the office again wasn't it? It was but again the small margins and I think against the big teams you feel the small margins more when they fall against you. I mean the David Brooks goal I have to say it took two or three replays for the TV company to get it in the right line to show that it should have been allowed. The first look looked like it should have been offside and was rightly flagged but that's pretty early on so if that is allowed as it should have been that can be a different complexion on the afternoon. And then of course having got back in the game with that brilliant goal fantastic breakaway goal. What a finish from Joshua King the first time inside of his wrong boot absolutely smashed it. He did say actually he had been had a bit of a knock on his right ankle so he had been practising his left footed strikes and that came into fruition in the game. So having just got yourself back into the game on the stoker half time then you come out in the second half you need to try and sort of carry that momentum on and kick ask them while they're down slightly but they weren't able to do that unfortunately and the winning goal was disappointing in nature. It was a bit too easy switched off from the free kick and you know when you have those moments against the big teams they do punish you. There was a little flurry late on of course you know Jefferson Lerma hit the post a couple of other chances Leno scooped that one out from what it was looping into the corner as well. So yeah that just fell the wrong side of the small margins a bit like Manchester United you know the last minute winner and other great chances that Bournemouth had that they should have taken. So unlike Newcastle where it was just a disappointing performance I think it's certainly hard to be taken from the performance but feeling the weight of those things that can just fall either way unfortunately fell the wrong side. And you mentioned that David Brooke chance there if that goes in it's a completely different game isn't it? Well it wasn't the prettiest goal Bournemouth will score this year because it was a bit scrappy and it got stuck under his feet but it was a smart finish under the keeper and yeah that early in the game against the big teams it sets the tone doesn't it. But as you say the linesman you know up went the flag incorrectly maybe not the only decision that went against Bournemouth or has gone against Bournemouth in the last couple of weeks but that's the sometimes when the tide has just turned slightly against you. The winning runners is over and whatever then those little 50-50s start falling the wrong way unfortunately. And obviously last season we went 1-0 down to Arsenal here as well this time we did the same we came back 1-1 and again people were probably thinking well here we go again. And particularly with Arsenal's propensity to not be able to hang on to leads in the first half or they hadn't been ahead at halftime in any game this season and they were 30 seconds from being ahead this time. So that will have I guess they were arguing amongst themselves as they walked off at halftime about that. So yeah at halftime it looked like Bournemouth could go on and make it count in early in the second half but you know let's not forget Arsenal a great side with multi-million pound players in there. So to be sort of standing here disappointed again a bit like Manchester United the context is disappointed not to have got something against two of the biggest teams in world football. So that is the bigger picture I guess albeit when you lost three in a row it probably doesn't feel like that but you know that's the reality is that the performance is probably tell a different story not Newcastle but the other two tell a different story to the amount of points that have been that have been gained. And Arsenal obviously they were on such a good run coming into the game and Unai Emery has made them look like a different team hasn't he? Yeah they've been strong absolutely they're looking you know to tough task for them at the minute to hang on to the real top guns you know City of Liverpool at the top of sort of set a different standard this season. But Arsenal you know they're in the top and the man United sort of Chelsea mix for third, fourth, fifth they've got a long way to go I think before they're going to be right at the top contending for the title again which I haven't won for quite a while. But I think Gunners fans are definitely being more enthused this year than certainly what they produced in the tail end of Wenger's reign. And obviously in the dying moments of the game you mentioned Jefferson Lammer hit the post it was nearly two and two wasn't it? Oh I mean there was nothing on it was outrageous to really shoot from where he was he was miles out loads of bodies between him and the goal which actually possibly would have helped him because the goalkeeper was a bit unsighted but sometimes those are the moments you know. He just thought you know what and he probably was feeling bad having smashed in one of the own goals of the season earlier on in the game that he probably owed his team mates one and owed the fans one but he was very very close. But again when things are working out for you that bounces straight back to a ball with a player who taps it in so ambitious but nearly proved profitable. Well after the last three games Jefferson Lammer has been voted on Michael Matthews player of the month and we'll be discussing his highlights in just a moment but first here they are for you. Well there we go a player of the month award for Jefferson Lammer Chris it's been a good month for him hasn't it? I think that would be one of the more obvious player of the month awards I think I'd be surprised if he doesn't win a few more between now and the end of the season. Yeah he's been fantastic we've spoken about it many times already that what he's added to the team just something they didn't have. The things we're noticing more and more we've seen his mobility and his physicality and you know he's not one of those who goes you know hering into outrageous two footed challenges but you know he's just so mobile around the pitch. He seems to read things he always seems to pop up he's like he's popping up out the ground at times he's just there you know getting a toe in sometimes you know covering for other people. He makes mistakes himself but often you'll see he's the one chasing back to get himself out of that particular sticky spot so I will blow that he won't be playing this weekend. I guess it was a bit of a the sort of challenge that you can see he's racked up a lot of yellow cards just that sort of pull back on the halfway line against Arsenal which is an obvious yellow card all day so yeah you can see why he's racked up the amount of yellow cards he has. It's more the sort of I would say technical nigglyfows rather than the outrageous you know bone crushers but he you know how born with cope with him in this game. I have to say I'm probably talk about this more later but I'm more in the thought that it's probably not a bad game to miss him for this one because it's an uphill task anyway so it's better to have him available for a game he can possibly have more impact on. I think I'll live up all here next weekend you wouldn't want him suspended for that probably so all in all but a thoroughly deserving winner of the Michael Matthews per the month for sure. And has absolutely added a different dimension and I think he's been the key as we've said before to the successful start to the season. And it has been a tough month but he has got off the mark with his first goal for the club against Newcastle. Yeah and that was good to see it was a shame he only got to celebrate it for 30 seconds and then was off with a hamstring injury which will have been a worry when he went off because the impact he's had. Last thing you want is to see him gone for six weeks with a hamstring so the international break came at a good time for him I think. It's confusing at the minute about the international situation with him because we haven't quite worked out whether Eddie Howe and the coaching staff have sort of requested that he's not picked by Columbia to go travelling around the world when he's just settled into life over here or whether he's just fallen off the end of the Columbia squad at the moment because he hasn't made the cut in their last couple. So that's an answer we haven't managed to get yet but I think it's probably a good thing for Bournemouth that he's not jetting off to far-flung places in south and central America to play in friendlies and things like that. So from that point of view nice for him to get up and running goals are not going to be an important part of his game in terms of what Bournemouth need from him but if he is going to pop up and he was a good header by the way and you cuss it was a great header then a few more of those pot shots from 30 yards that's probably the more likely times we'll see him scoring I think. And so far this season he's just getting better and better and better we've got a big run of fixtures coming up that's really important that he's in fine form for that isn't it? And I think the other central midfielders will profit from him as well because he just adds that bit of insurance doesn't he? A little bit of you know as I say he pops up out of the ground at times and you know someone like Lewis Kirk or Dan Gosling or Andrew Sermon if he plays you know those guys they know that if they need a bit of help then he can be there to bail them out and he can probably get around a pitch a bit better than with all due respect to Andrew Sermon people like that these days saying that of course he'll make mistakes as well and he'll need his partners to get him out of trouble at times as well but yeah he's sort of it's Lerma plus one now isn't it in the central midfield, Lewis Kirk had the shirt, Dan Gosling had it back, Dan Gosling's an injury down for this weekend so with Lerma suspended central midfield is looking a bit of a worry away at City which I think it would be a worry if he had just strongest midfield at City let alone sort of scrapping around to find a couple so we'll see how that pans out. And we've got some experienced players in central midfield as you say that's really important isn't it for the likes of when Jefferson misses these games? Very important yeah you need to squad and of course you know December 8 games including the league cup as well so Eddie I'm sure will be wanting to sort of freshen it up a couple of times because we're getting to the stage of the season now where a lot of players have played a lot of games. I know there have been international breaks and things and you know the likes of David Brooks and people have been away playing every game so I think we will start to see it mixed around and this is where you'll see people like Jordan and I get more of a chance. You'll see other players who have struggled for match minutes be needed and I think Jefferson Lerma is probably going to find himself playing most games I don't think he's going to be rotated too much but yeah he's a key part of it. Well next up for the cherries is a trip to the Etihad stadium to face Manchester City let's look back at one of our finest goals against Pep Guardiola side. Gosling again and Charlie Daniels. Well a fine strike from Charlie Daniels there Chris it's certainly going to be an uphill task tomorrow as you said would you say it's the toughest game this season so far? I would say it's one of the toughest games in world football at the moment let alone the toughest game this season. I think City are setting a new bar for the Premier League it's very difficult to win the Premier League two seasons in a row I mean there's a long way to go but you know if anybody's having a five run in a minute I would say it's looking like it's going to be City again. Yeah that Charlie Daniels goal by the way I mean that's one of the high points and that's again we talk about small margins against the big teams Raheem Sterling you know 95th minute or whatever it was I know you've got to stand off which gave the cherries fans a little bit of pleasure at the end but that Charlie Daniels goal is one of only two goals Bournemouth have managed to score against Manchester City in the Premier League era. Glenn Murray was the other one for a little quiz question for you but when you look at the scores on paper away at City 5-1 4-0 4-0. I just said to really this morning when you look at those scores on paper how do you give the players belief when you go into a place like this with City playing the way they have been. You know they've conceded what is it four goals in the whole season I think in the Premier League so the one thing I will say is last year it was 2-0 until about what 15, 10, 15 minutes to go. Cherries still on a couple of attacking subs and tried to get something from the game and ended up losing 4-0 so that was probably a slightly falsely decorated score line but yeah go in there you did absolutely everything to go your way. I mean City to have a bad day. I mean Leon gave them one or two problems in midweek in the Champions League you know that City had to battle back and get a draw in that game. I know they made a couple of changes but you do need a team of that quality to not be firing on all cylinders. Bournemouth could play out of their skin but if City play out of their skin Bournemouth will lose. So that's the reality of it unfortunately so fans have to set the bar at the right level I think this weekend. The problem is that this is where the Newcastle defeat comes back a little bit to haunt them because all of a sudden you go and they're having lost three in a row. If you've got something at a Newcastle then all of a sudden you know it doesn't you know because in all probability Bournemouth are big outsiders this weekend they could quite easily be four losses in a row going into Huddersfield. Huddersfield have been playing pretty well all of a sudden for the last couple of weeks then it's Liverpool next weekend so this is a tough little trot so you've got to pick up bits and bobs where you can. But getting back on topic I notice you've given me the Manchester City microphone today by the way as well. I would say it's the toughest test probably in world football at the moment anyhow I likened it to go into Barcelona that's what the cherries are up against this weekend. And you mentioned the Lyon game for Manchester City in the week. Will they be at all fatigue from that going into the game? Well it was Tuesday wasn't it so the players these days I wouldn't have thought so. Of course Bournemouth will be better rested but I think the professionals recover a lot better these days so yeah and it wasn't too far to travel. It wasn't like Arsenal who had to go to Ukraine having been here so I think from that point of view I think maybe they might be slightly bruised because not many teams have stopped Manchester City this season but Lyon have stopped them twice. Lyon the only team to go to City and win this season. The only Premier League games that haven't won City have been away at Wolves and away at Liverpool so at home they've been rampant. They've scored six a couple of times, put six past at Hampton a couple of weeks ago. I think they've scored five twice as well at home so from that point of view yeah I'm trying to find some positives. And this is normally the part of the show where we look out for the other teams' danger men but they're dotted all over the pitch this week aren't they? Quicker to talk about who not to look out for. Yeah I mean Aguero Premier League top scorer. I mean Sterling's the man who you know we talked about Lukaku before when Bournemouth have played United about always having a good game against Bournemouth. Raheem Sterling has scored in five Premier League games in a row against Bournemouth for City. He also scored a couple for Liverpool in his days there as well so he's been a slippery eel for the cherries to get hold of. He played in Central Midfield actually in the Champions League in midweek so it'd be interesting to see if Pep Guardiola maintains that because they've got some injury problems in Central Midfield like Bournemouth have as well. So from that point of view we'll see where Sterling plays but Aguero Sterling, David Silver's scored I think in three consecutive games as well. You're looking at their big players you know Mahrez he's probably one of the lesser players in inverted commas and he was what 50 million pounds in January. Even people like Carl Walker you know they're just unbelievable players. Le Porto they brought in the back end of last season who again is inks his place in the team as well. So they're all over the pitch you're looking at quality they've got a goalkeeper who's very hard to get past as well. But those players can't have a great day every day of the season so if we're looking for some chinks let's hope that Aguero is a bit tired. And another positive of course is that Kevin De Bruyne is going to miss the game as he's been to Mimendi so that's something positive looking at the game. Yeah the problem is when you've got a squad like City you lose a couple of players like that you've got some 50 million pound players to bring in in response. But yeah Kevin De Bruyne I mean he's another one who's often makes the game look so easy and has absolutely run the show in Bournemouth City fixtures in the past. So yeah it's a shame for him but he's going to be another four or six weeks I think.  So again great to see him not in the team if you like but you know they've got very capable replacements even great players that can't even get in the team. So from that point of view two big players missing but two big ones will come in and replace them. And of course the cherry's got some injury concerns of their rowing Adam Smith obviously going to be out and Eddie mentioned Dan Gosling as well. Yeah Dan Gosling's not looking too good. I think he hasn't trained this week as he said so he picked up a knock on his knee in the Arsenal game which again it never rains it pours does it with Lerma suspended and all of a sudden Dan Gosling could be out. So maybe by default it could be a Lewis Cook sermon midfield. If I was a betting man having seen Dan Gosling this morning I would say possibly that may be how it's looking at the moment. Eddie Hale also mentioned another couple of niggles knocking around the squad but didn't want to necessarily say what they were. So yeah interesting to see which way they go. They've gone three at the back away from home in big games before. Eddie said he's been trying to concentrate as much on what they do rather than what city's dangers are which you can sometimes overload the players and frighten the players with this is how good they are by the way. Here's a million power points about it. So from that point of view we'll wait and see which way he goes. But I think they have to go with a certain element of their normal attacking game. It might be basketball style it might end up 6-3 who knows. But if Bournemouth can function away from home as they have done this season in some games if they can get that fluidity going I think having Joshua King available for this game having come through last week with no problems is big. Because his physicality he's just being able to hold the ball up giving the cherries an outlet not being so reliant on Callan Wilson to have to do all the chasing up front to all the physical workload. I think having King as an extra pair of hands if you like. I think that is very important just to take a bit of sting out of city sometimes be able to have a bit of possession. I think Bournemouth had 21% of possession up there last year so they may not spend a lot of time with the ball. So when they have got the ball they've got to make sure they use it effectively. So it's certainly going to be a very tough test. If you are going to Manchester City this weekend have a very safe journey. We'll be back on Monday to preview the game against Huddersfield Town here at Vitality Stadium. Thanks for joining us.
