CHERRIES star Harry Arter thinks Huddersfield boss David Wagner may need a history lesson following comments in the build up to their visit to Vitality Stadium.

Arter, who netted Cherries' third goal in the 4-0 win over the Terriers on Saturday, admitted it had been “nice” to triumph in light of the remarks made by Wagner.

Asked about Cherries’ rise to the Premier League during his pre-match press conference, Wagner said: “Everyone has done it in their own way.

“Bournemouth did it differently. They have a Russian owner with a lot of money. We have a local owner (Dean Hoyle). We have done it our way and in our style.

“Both ways were successful and now I am very happy to meet Bournemouth for the first time. I like their football, but we want to beat them in this game.”

Eddie Howe responded to the comments when he said: “Our journey is certainly different to Huddersfield’s and ours is unique because we were heading out of the Football League at one stage.

“We didn’t have a Russian owner until the middle part of the journey, so the club’s rise has been incredible.”

Snapped up by Howe for a bargain £4,000 from Woking, Arter's arrival coincided with the easing of the club's transfer embargo, which had prevented Cherries from making any permanent signings between February 2009 and the summer of 2010.

Having been part of Cherries’ set-up since before owner Maxim Demin’s investment, the 27-year-old suggested Wagner may need to look further back through the record books.

Arter told the Daily Echo: “The lads didn’t really take any offence to it. I didn’t take any offence, it was nice just to win.

“He doesn’t know the history too well. He should probably have done a little more research.

“He probably doesn’t know too much about Bournemouth and, in a way, probably doesn’t know too much about Huddersfield.

“Going back, we lost a player to Huddersfield because they offered so much money for him.”

Anton Robinson was the man sold to the Terriers in 2011 in a move said to have been worth around £250,000.

Following his departure, the midfielder urged then chairman Eddie Mitchell to use his transfer fee wisely.

But Arter believes, despite the multi-million pounds spent in the Premier League, Cherries still have the camaraderie which has seen them rise through the divisions.

“I think spirit is key for us,” he added.

“The manager plays a massive part in that. He has trust in all of us and we all respond well to it.

“No matter how much money you have, if you haven’t got that spirit, you can sometimes go one way.

“You have seen bigger clubs, Aston Villa had a bad start and they let it continue. Sunderland were the same.”
