Not sure that was Semenyo’s fault. Cross was good should have scored.

I still think we can get something out of this.

Cundy also appears to have had passing lessons from Aden Flint.

I don’t think it matters how much defensive coaching you have. It doesn’t matter is Paolo Maldini is coaching you. If Robbie Cundy doesn’t understand the instruction “mark your man”, then there’s no hope.

What a complete embarrassment! ? The Middlesbrough response though! Ironic in the extreme! ??? ? ??

I know it’s been said before on this thread… but I wouldn’t want Lampard here, it just looks an awful appointment.

I suppose for the same reason I’m not telling you my current bank balance… I don’t need to.

I would suspect there’s a lot you don’t know. I wouldn’t have thought this will be without basis.

This has brightened my morning.

To be fair it’s nothing different to what I’d be doing!

Feels like Hartlepool have been shoehorned in and exactly Sunderland have suffered the exact opposite fate. There’s always some considerable obvious bias by the people making these maps.

You and me both mate.

Well, he was a better signing than LJ’s signing of Diony.

I think that the best argument is that Warne played in a team where every bowler was capable of taking wickets, depriving him of the opportunity Murali would have had. There was only really Vaas, and later Malinga, neither of whom were in the same categories as McGrath, Lee or even Gillespie. Essentially Murali had every opportunity to earn his wickets. Pretty sure that nearly 200 of Murali’s wickets were taken against the lesser nations of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. That changes things a lot. Warney didn’t play them a lot at all. This of course isn’t to say that Murali isn’t world class… he clearly is. I just think Warne would be the first name on more people’s world XI than Murali would.

Didn’t Bell play really well in the same position the other day? Seems to have escaped you/been deliberately ignored.

Ahhh. You see Warney beats anyone in this generation and the last, but I’d say Sobers was the generation before that so I never had the pleasure. Saying that, Warne would be my number one pick of anyone ever.

I’m not sure there is. This is the greatest player of the last few generations and something I’m struggling to get over. ?

Yeh. Suppose it could be.

Just see. Jonathan Pearce on bbc… uhhh, I mean, at least give your appearance a little effort JP!

So… how have we started?

I think knowing Warney, there’ll have been a few things more likely to have got to him than the vaccine.

Thanks to whoever sorted out the admin of the threads. I much prefer it to be discussed under this title.

My wife had this commissioned for me as a wedding present. A few years later she arranged for me to meet him to get it signed. Can’t Believe it.

Me too mate. Was my hero.
