But does Dyche or Howe look more like a guy with the 'vision' to succeed at a top club? Obviously we'll never know for sure until they get one of those jobs, but to me Dyche looks like another Hodgson/Moyes appointment for a top 6 club, whereas Howe has the potential to be the next Brendan Rodgers...

Why? Because they play a different style of football? His vision may still be the same, but just going that way in a different direction.

Yes mainly that, and the type of players they've worked with. Although as Iused2likebusts pointed out, the latter may be largely down to varying transfer budgets.

That push on Grealish that a free kick was given for. Very similar to another push this weekend in a PL game which resulted in a free kick been given and goal disallowed. Which got the usual 'buying the league', 'F**k VAR' etc talk.

And Villa score from it!

It's hard to tell. Dyche has mainly used British players probably out of necessity so I think he would have major teething problems at a place like everton or arsenal due to the current make up of their squads. He could probably get the squad at Everton to buy into his ideas a bit easier.

Nice free-kick goal from Hourihane.

Wouldn't mind seeing him beat Dubravka like that in a few months.

This is it · 25-11-2019 09:33PM

Lovely goal from Hourihane

Mr.Nice Guy · 25-11-2019 09:36PM

Hourihane with an assist now. That left foot working a treat atm.

callaway92 · 25-11-2019 09:46PM

Two mindnumbingly dumb free kicks to give away by Newcastle, both leading to the goals.

He's been good, a wand of a cuitog on him.

However, Grealish has had a brilliant first half, best player on the field by far.

Who'd have thunk that this would be the game of the weekend...

Played well for most of the season. Southgate has to be thinking about him for the next squad if he keeps playing like this.

£60m on Joelinton and Almiron seems money p1ssed down the drain.

Ashley wouldn't give Rafa the money for Rondon and goes and spunks even more on those two is madness.

Another 16m+ on Saint-Maximin. Headless player. One you'd love to see get it right because he has the talent but clubs like Newcastle always lose on the gamble on players like him. He's another Ben Arfa

He has great talent for actually looking like he’s doing something without actually doing anything. Arsenal probably would’ve been better off spending a fraction of the Pepe money on him and using the rest on positions they actually need to spend in.

Poor fare tonight. Newcastle got what they deserved. Happy to sit back and defend for 90 minutes yet undo the game plan by giving away silly free kicks and conceding from them. These games against other teams who will be struggling to survive are where they need to pick up points.

Just letting everybody know, I was onto Amazon chat about something on my account and decided to ask about their EPL coverage and if it’s being shown in Ireland.

I know somebody posted a twitter link saying it would be shown on Ireland prime but they told me on the chat that we won’t be able to watch it with Ireland prime.

Games are UK prime only. Premier sports bought the rights to show the games in Ireland. Amazon are apparently worried now with have the Merseyside derby and the United Spurs game in the same night it could crash the network so having it on a people channel would be better

Rafa to Arsenal seems to be a no brainer, but it is Arsenal.

Vastly underrated for some reason and isn't ever linked to a top PL job. Probably down to the fact his man management style and he's not afraid to butt heads with upper management.
West Ham or Arsenal are idiots if they don't try for him.

He'd be a great choice alright, but he's on a gigantic contract in China, would cost an absolute bloody fortune to buy him out of it. ~24 million remaining on it at this point I think.

I've read somewhere that you can ask them to switch it to UK prime if for arguments sake you use Parcel Motel address.

Not sure of the validity of that, haven't tried myself.

Trigger · 26-11-2019 09:20AM

If you have a PM address, you can just change it yourself..

Account>devices and content>Preferences>Region and put your PM address in there.

One thing though, if you have Prime household set up, they all need to have the same address so the PM address will need to be set on each of those. It will probably knock the household off but it's pretty straightforward to set it back up

Looking forward to seeing both mctominay and pogba back playing together, think it could be a good partnership.

I thought Pogba was done with United? He'll go in January?

I dont know where this is coming from tbh.

He has been injured the last while, only got his cast off last week. Expected to be back for the manchester derby

Also the pictures of him playing basketball surely jumping up and down would not be possible if you were injured

Of course he could. Injury is healed, just needs to build up the muscle in his leg again, he has been in the gym non stop. Not quite ready to play a full league game yet.

Ah I'm not accusing him of faking injury. I'm thinking more, madrid bound, and ole seems like the kind of guy who would only play someone who wants to play.

That'll be united with no "big names" then?

Just one-third of a Pepe though...
