Had the day off for the Jewish holiday so watched this live. I think West ham are decent and Payet who I know well from Marseille is very good Newcastle are very bad right now. Very early but they could be relegation contenders. It's pretty mind blowing to me , no offense to West Ham who I don't mind at all, that a club like them can snag a Payet these days. The amount of money running though the EPL even the so called smaller teams now (largely do to TV) is staggering. Marseille have the largest and most rabid fan base in France they've won lots of trophies and once upon a time were a European powerhouse. Only team in France's second largest and most football obsessed city and now even teams like West Ham, Swansea, QPR last year etc. can entice their players over not just the big boys.
