After getting rid of Jordan (2nd time around) Wilson and now Pearson, it’s obvious that the one footed wonder certainly has the ear of the chairman….. 

Poaching a yes man manger of a team in the division below certainly sums the club.

Sale your best players with no investment play the youth half the wage bill what else could have Pearson done to get another contract?

He looks like Dean Holden a little bit.

More like Eddie Howe I reckon. Hope he turns out to be as good as Eddie

Yes but they've been quite a bit more dominant thusfar.  However yes...is it 35 pts ftom 14 games. (We had 27).

I’m just wondering if they’ll run out of steam soon. I can see Leeds and Southampton catching them soon.

I agree yes but at the same time, players such as Morsy, Luongo, we wouldn't be excited. Hirst to some degree, a lot of them we wouldn't habe been excited about individually. Most of them aren't top end Championship players- they have more depth without doubt but a lot of that squad isn't all that special.

Sounds a bit like us in our playoff season under GJ.

Has NP ever been exciting.?

Are we looking for another manager who did well over 8 years ago & hasn't seen out a permenant contract at any of his 4 jobs since then..?

What is Phil Brown up to these days..? Would he qualify as a good shout..?

I think Phil Brown runs a franchise of tanning salons now.

Good player imho…just 21 too.  Really hope we tie him down to a perm deal in January.  Him and Knight are part of the future energetic midfield.  Think he’s still getting up to speed too, more to come.

Is the loan deal with the option to buy?

Feels like we need a 2nd to put this to bed 

Especially when you consider how many shots on target we’ve had and playing 10 men.

Of course............Lacking Moral Reasoning?

I think Lamps would have a better car and plate than thatt

Maybe he’ll be at the Gate tommorow and be unveiled at half time.

Sky bet have Frank at 1/4

Got a feeling owners willing to give new boss few pennies in Jan.

I think Lansdown would invest in players if he likes the manager. Remember how much money junior got to spend during his tenure here after Cotts got the push.

How depressing

Could do a lot worse though.

I would say he has had too much naan recently.

I think he quite likes a granny smiths too.

It was never going to last.

Surely this is the season Everton come down, losing at home 0-2 to Luton.

If this scorline stays then surely Dyche will be gone tommorow.

Not by any means suggesting he should have made this squad but how many more England squads will there be before we see Scott's name on the list?

A matter of when, not if, in my opinion.

Would be class to see him tear it up this season and make next year's euros squad, although I think that will be slightly too soon.

I think we are a long way off that talk. Has to prove himself in the Prem first. Even then its hard to see him establish himself with the likes of Grealish, Rice and the Megastar in the making of Bellingham.

I think Yeovil would be a great fit for him. Try to get them back in the football league.

Really? If Kerr score those 2 sitters at 1-2 it's a different game. Yes we deserved the win but to say it was straightforward is complete nonsense.

But that’s the difference though, If Kerr scored those sitters, she didn’t she bottled it and we took our chances

Likes how he says it was pretty physical and we obviously mixed it with them , good signs 

Yeah, hopefully this season we’ll be a lot more like today. Too many times in the past been a soft touch.

As I posted earlier; the locals ain't happy; 

 

He looks like he wants to cry.

Solid performance and Great result. Really hard place to get get anything from.

I went to the charity shield last week and he hardly had a touch - same as tonight yet he has 2 goals

Seems to be the case with all the very top strikers

There is something special about goals that hit the underside of the bar and go in.  Dunno why, but they always seem better to me.

Absolute bargain at £52,000,000 when you think what players are going for lately. £100 M seems to be the norm nowadays.

He will go to Real Madrid in 3-4 years time. That’s his dream club.

Real Madrid will have the best team in the world within a few years. Front 3 of Mbappe, Haaland and Vinicius Jr. With a midfield of Valverde, Bellingham and Camavinga.

Dear lord, that’s a tasty side.

All the top players seem to want to join Real.

As per title.Put Man City ahead inside 4 minutes.Could be a long night for Burnley.
