Sean Dyche has been sacked as Everton manager after less than two years in charge at Goodison Park. The 53-year-old's departure was announced just hours before Everton were due to host League One side Peterborough in the third round of the FA Cup.
I think Everton should be careful what they wish for.. His style of football is functional and not pretty, but on a very limited budget he managed to navigate two survivals including one with a points deduction.
I see that the Lewis-Skelley red card has been overturned, rightly in my opinion. Arsenal are my second team as I lived in the Highbury Corner area for about seven years some time ago. Went to the old Highbury many times in those days so still watch some matches on stream. But the coincidental thing is that the Norwich training ground is Colney and the Gunners one is London Colney.
Both Hanley and Dowell made brief debut appearances for Birmingham last night, coming on as late subs in the single goal win away at Huddersfield.

How does Foden get picked consistently for England? In 45 caps he has scored just four goals. As an expat I obviously do not see his club contributions but I cannot imagine, from press reports, that they are good enough at this time for his consistent inclusion.
Funny you post this, as Alfie (HITC 7s) has recently posted a video on underperforming National team players who excel at club level, and shares his thoughts, Foden is #2 (roughly 21:32 in the vid). He hasn't been in great form for City this season, tbf it's their whole team. Over reliance on Rodri and failure to replace ageing players. However I've always thought much like Cole Palmer, opposition seem to treat them with too much respect and make them appear far better than they're. A little unfair on Foden's England career as much like the Lamphard / Scholes / Gerrard debate of the past, he's being shoe-horned into a less preferred position 'out left'.
