Two red cards, a penalty and coming from behind from two goals down - it's all in a days work for AFCB. There does seem to be a few 'crazy games' as Josh King points out in the season for AFCB. Winning or drawing a game in a regular fashion just isn't Bournemouth's thing, and I believe that is why so many neutrals tend to gravitate towards AFCB as a team they have a connection with, as the underdog is always something we can admire.
Some of the madness can be explained just be the passion of the players and the fans to want to do better, and that is very strong in this club as there is a never say die attitude. The history of winning from adversity is now ingrained in the club and it is a great habit to have.
I can't say the red cards are anything that Bournemouth look to have in their games and yet incidents will happen occasionally when passions run high and mistakes are made. I don't think there is any more aggressiveness behaviour at AFCB than any other team, but the will not to be bullied by bigger teams does give the players a fight that is seen when the players are behind in games. If you could bottle whatever it was that ignites the fire in the team, I am sure Howe would want to release it whenever the team was in trouble.
I just hope AFCB never lose that bit of craziness they have, because it is what makes them one of the most exciting teams to watch. In some ways Bournemouth are the new meaning of the crazy gang. They just don't know when they should have been beaten.

I am a firm believer that the Bournemouth crowd play their part in such games and it was in evidence on Saturday against Everton. The home fans just weren't willing for the score to remain 0-2 and that emotion feeds through to the players who stepped up again and made things happen. There is no coincidence that AFCB can do this where other teams find it hard to comeback in games. It is a collective spirit that simply resonates when the need arises. It's a very powerful force and Everton won't be the first or last them to find themselves in a kind of storm that swells all around them, as they fought to hang on to a lead a Dean Court. Something usually gives and with the intensity of Bournemouth's play it is hardly surprising that they find ways to get back into games.
