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 Authentic Custom Brewers Jersey .

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- No one appeared more excited than Jordy Nelson to go through warmups at Lambeau Field before Thursdays 20-12 preseason win over the?Oakland Raiders.Although the Green Bay Packers listed Nelson on the will not dress list for the game, that didnt stop him from working out in the public eye for the first time since he tore the ACL in his right knee nearly a year ago.Nelson came out with the rest of his teammates about 70 minutes before kickoff and had a bounce in his step. One day after being activated off the physically unable to perform list, Nelson was in full pads, running routes and even catching passes in an 11-on-11 session thats part of the Packers regular pregame warmup routine. At one point, he was jumping inn place while waiting for his turn in a drill.ddddddddddddAsked after the game what it was like to go through warmups, Nelson said, Its another step in the right direction. Its another step to be ready for Jacksonville. Well just continue to work that way. Our goal is Week 1. Were right where we want to be and need to be. Weve got time to get there.Nelson tore the ACL in his right knee in a preseason game last year on Aug. 23. He then experienced what he called a hiccup with his left knee while working out this summer. Hes expected to go through his first full practice Saturday. The Packers are off Friday. ' ' '
