LONDON -- Eddie Howes reputation as one of English soccers brightest coaches was already soaring when the Bournemouth managers credentials were further championed in an unusual public arena.In a diversion to a recent parliamentary hearing into soccers integrity issues, a legislator suddenly advanced the case for Howe to become England coach.Someone like that, English Football Association chairman Greg Clarke responded, you dont want to burn by overexposing them too early.Howe, though, cant escape exposure when hes achieving remarkable results with his small club in a southern seaside town, and operating with moderate resources compared to the rest of the Premier League.Liverpool found that out to its cost two weeks ago when it surrendered a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 at Bournemouths tiny ground with a capacity of around 11,000.Although the 39-year-old Howe was overlooked for the England vacancy, his time will undoubtedly come on the international stage. For now, the big time for Howe is Bournemouth -- an unthinkable proposition when he was coaching the team in the fourth tier in 2010.With a turbo-charged ascent through the English soccer pyramid, Howe steered Bournemouth into the Premier League in 2015, while remaining faithful to his brand of attacking football.And with a 1-0 victory over defending Premier League champion Leicester, Leicester briefly climbed Tuesday to eighth place -- the highest the club, which was formed as Boscombe St. Johns Institute in 1890, has ever been.Securing a third consecutive season in the top flight looks less of an ambition and more a realistic proposition for a team which plays in a town previously better known as a sleepy retirement resort.Players like winger Mark Pugh have been on the incredible journey, joining the team in 2010 and scoring the only goal against Leicester.He has the qualities that we look for in a Bournemouth player, Howe said of Pugh. He works hard and hes technically excellent.As a player in the 1990s, Howe joined teammates on the streets of Bournemouth with buckets collecting cash to keep the club alive. Now Bournemouth is owned by Russian businessman Maxim Demin and American investors Matt Hulsizer and Jay Coppoletta, but the club retains a strong English identity.Howe is one of the 20-team Premier Leagues four English managers, and eight of the starting 11 against Leicester were English. When the paucity of homegrown talent is a concern domestically, Bournemouth is a shining light which explains the praise for Howe in the Palace of Westminster.Contrast Bournemouth with two teams in action at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. Manchester City, champion in 2012 and 2014, and Watford each fielded only one homegrown player.Bournemouth is providing the platform for midfielder Jack Wilshere to reboot his career with the regular starting place he couldnt hold down at Arsenal. Compared by some with Xavi and Andres Iniesta before injuries took their toll, Wilshere is showing his quality on the ball again.His technical ability is second to none, Howe said. I think he is so comfortable hes made us a totally different team with the ball.Bournemouths next test on Sunday is a derby match against south-coast rival against Southampton. Only goal difference is keeping Bournemouth behind Southampton, which has just enjoyed its first foray into the Europa League after expertly balancing the selling of players for big profits with finding equally valuable replacements.Theres now talk at Bournemouth of emulating Southampton by qualifying for Europe for the first time.The clubs come so far so quickly, sometimes its maybe nice for others to sit back and enjoy the position were in, Howe said.Here are some other talking points in the Premier League this weekend:---MAN CITY-ARSENALThird-placed Arsenal retains a one-point edge over Manchester City despite the Gunners 14-match unbeaten run in the league being ended by a late collapse at Everton on Tuesday. City is concerned heading into Sundays game about the severity of a knee injury sustained by midfielder Ilkay Gundogan against Watford.---CRYSTAL PALACE-CHELSEAA seventh defeat in nine league games has left Alan Pardews future as Palace manager looking even more precarious. Fresh from hosting Manchester United, Palace on Saturday welcomes a Chelsea side on a 10-game winning run in the league that has seen the leaders only concede twice.---Rob Harris is at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports Adidas Nmd Cs1 Pas Cher .J.

Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. Adidas Human Race Shop . -- In one brief spurt, Brazil turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup favourite.Rangers manager Mark Warburton says veteran striker Kenny Miller is the ideal role model for young players at the club. The pair were named Scottish Championship manager and player of the month for January after the league leaders clocked up five successive victories during the period.Miller, 36, scored five goals in that unbeaten run which lifted the Gers eight points clear of nearest challengers Hibs and Warburton is convinced there is more to come from the former Celtic striker. Rangers Kenny Miller was awarded the Ladbrokes Championship Player of the Month for January as he scored five goals in five games Speaking ahead of Saturdays Scottish Cup fifth-round tie against Kilmarnock - live on Sky Sports - the former City trader said: Im delighted with Kenny. I said to you right at the start when he entered his new contract that it wasnt a sympathy vote, it was a well-earned contract.His quality in training, his attitude in training is first class and hes a great role model to younger players. But you have to work hard for your contract and Kenny did that so I am delighted for him.He is still hungry to play and the younger players in our squad learn from him when they watch him train every day. Miller bags one of his five January goals in victory over Morton And Miller, who has been capped 68 times by Scotland, admits he has no intention of calling time on a glittering career which has seen him win league titles and Scottish Cups with both Glasgow clubs.Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ he said: Since we lost to Falkirk just before Christmas weve managed to win seven games playing some fantastic stuff and scoring a lot of goals while keeping the back door shut.Its been good to get a run in the team as Ive not really had many conseccutive games of football.dddddddddddd. Obviously the team has been playing great, creating chances and now we are back to scoring goals.Miller is looking forward to welcoming former team-mate Lee McCulloch back to Ibrox this weekend after he was handed the reins at Rugby Park following the departure of Gary Locke last weekend. Lee McCulloch looking no further ahead than Ibrox on Saturday McCulloch played over 200 games during an eight-year spell at Ibrox and Miller is confident he, and his team, will receive a warm welcome from the supporters this weekend.He said: It will be great to welcome Lee and the lads back. Stevie Smith and Kris Boyd are obviously former players too and Im sure theyll all get a warm welcome.Obviously since the draw Lee has made the step up to the managers role so Im sure hes looking forward to the game. Its a fantastic opportunity for him.And coaching is something I have thought of myself. When Jig [McCulloch] was here we used to sit every morning talking about football - Lee Wallace and myself still do it now - and coaching is definitely something I want to go into. But like I say, hopefully I still have a few years left as a player yet.And McCulloch is refusing to look further than Saturdays match when asked if he would like to be considered for the role at Kilmarnock on a full-time basis.The former Scotland midfielder, who moved to the Ayrshire club last summer, said: Its been a stressful few days, put it that way. But I dont know, its maybe too early in my short coaching, managerial careerIts just all about the next couple of days, enjoying Saturday and then well take it from there. But what a first game to have. It will certainly be a great atmosphere.While bookmakers have priced Warburtons side up as clear favourites, Killie striker Rory McKenzie says you dont have to look too far back to see how vulnerable they can be when faced with Premiership opposition. Rory McKenzie - Rangers can be beaten Going by form, they are top of their league and we are second bottom of ours, so I would say Rangers have to be favourites, said the Scotland U21 international.But we are not scared. We have watched enough of Rangers this season to know they are a good team but we watched St Johnstone go there (won 3-1 in the League Cup last September) and if you go there with a game plan they can be beaten.
