Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe will take charge of his 500th game against Fulham on Saturday.

Howe has admitted that the last 10 years - taking the club from the bottom of League Two to ninth in the Premier League - has felt like a "blur".

"I only just found out it was 500!" Howe said after receiving his cake. "Where has the time gone? It doesn't feel like that many.

"It feels a bit of a blur, to be honest - these last 10 years. It's gone so quickly and we've crammed a lot into that time. It's been hugely enjoyable - a very successful period for us. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to manage this club.

"There's a few (games that stand out). The Bolton game always sticks out - because taking Bournemouth into the Premier League was something we never thought was possible."
