    Very sporting of you, given he scored that goal.

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Yup, as were most of his deals one way or another. I mean, given his obvious quality, loaning Saliba straight back to St Etienne for two seasons after spending (IIRC) ~£25m on him looks strange to say the least.

    Ha, up against some stiff competition too given Willian, Suarez (remember him?), Mari and Cedric were also on his watch.

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    It does seem like a triumph of optimism over experience, yeah. At least when we spunked £72m on Pepe (who it seems we now literally can't give away) he hadn't hung around stinking up the Prem for three seasons beforehand. I suppose his age (still only 23 I think) is maybe a factor in his...

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Another one of those meh/alrightish players on the books of a big club who seems to get in England squads on that basis alone. Tom Cleverley perhaps the prime example of the genre, but see also: Winks, Harry Livermore, Jake Smalling, Chris Jones, Phil Brown, Wes

    Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2023

    I'd like to remove the following initially, please: Jofra Archer Blair Tickner Henry Nicholls Possibly more to follow.

    True enough, but I wouldn't say Harry was exactly overburdened with minutes on the pitch for ManUre either though. Having just checked to confirm my suspicions he started all of 8 Prem games in 22/23.

    Phillips? I mean, not exactly a regular now, but Gaz seems a loyal manager (stuck with Maguire against the domestic evidence) and Kalvin was pretty decent in the Euros.

    Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2023

    Assume (read: desperately hoping) we're having a mini draft before the end of June? 🙏 Badly in need of some new blood.

    Which bowler is the king of jaffas?

    Heath knows. Those toe-crushing yorkers that appeared to swing a country mile were things of deadly beauty. Good luck with those... I'll throw a nod to the late, great MD Marshall too. Could do it all, swung it both ways, moved it off the seam and had a nasty, slippery bouncer too. Vale. Gone...

    Jack Leach out of the Ashes

    I've seen a few articles suggesting the preponderance of lefties in yer crims' top 7 (or 8, assuming Starc plays) was a factor in Mo getting the call up, with only Smith, Labu and Green playing the way god intended. This seems slightly counter-intuitive given Leach was unquestionably our #1...

    Ha, deffo didn't clock that, the first time I heard it was possibly the greatest moment of my sport watching life. I missed yer Irons' winner altogether, actually; had nodded off on sofa, 6 week old daughter (suddenly no longer whinging) on chest.

    Missed it, tbf. Or didn't notice it as a massive change from the ungreat man's standard MO. What was said?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65837778 The Italian fans covering themselves in glory once again, I see. I mean, I know we're not exactly innocents abroad as a footballing nation, but yer Eyeties have a nasty habit of bringing knives to a fist fight. Even the locals are saying the...

    Jeez, it's pretty hard to find a Greek/Greek Cypriot in London who's not a hardcore Gooner so that'll go down like a cup of cold sick.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Why can't it be both? Seriously, for everyone one of the potentials I've seen touted (Ali, Ahmed, Bess, Dawson, Jacks & Rashid) their batting is a selling point; Leach is the only specialist spinner who's a genuine tailender who's anywhere near the squad.
