Sir Why You Little

I was aware of his indiscretions but not to that degree, i grew up not far from Warney's Patch so i know the area well. Great parties were attended & Had in Beaumaris. Maybe after the "Gatting" Ball S K just thought-" i can do anything" i was in england during that series-it was massive. The Poms were speechless in the pubs, watching on telly. Silence..It was fabulous. But yes that stuff comes at a price.

Really?? Is that so, i would never have picked that one. S K always comes across to me as the "Lovable Rouge" in the dressing room. I am staggered by that.....

Melodramatic?? Not at all it's what happened. S K Warne should have captained Australia regardless of his off field problems. Brilliant Cricket mind as well as bowler. But sadly we Got little "Wicky" thems the Breaks.....

I was waiting for that, Yes even the greats do make mistakes RR i admit that. Like Following on in india in the hot weather. S.R should never have done that...I was yelling at the Radio "DON'T DO IT" The Bowlers were knackered. What S.R. did was put an incredible respect into the History of the Baggy Green. Players who wore it under his reign almost went to war, particulairly overseas. A lot of people critisize S.R but his innings in the west indies of 200 against Curtly Ambrose was the Benchmark for any australian sportsman. At the End of the Game his whole Torso was briused pretty much, but he stood there & took it. Yes he captained a great side. But S.R. made them even better & he was totally feared by all opposition sides for a decade.

It didn't do S.R. Waugh any Problems with his captaincy. S.R was the best captain i ever witnessed & he Batted after winning any Toss..

The Gabba is an interesting prospect i grant you that one. Even the Queensland Bulls do not have a clue how to play it. apparently they had a big "Get Together" Meeting about that exact problem last week....

I see the main Problem with our cricket side being the different formats. The ashes players should never have played in that 20/20 comp just before the ashes campaign this year. There are enough very competant cricketers in this country to have 3 distinct sides. Mixing up test,ODI 7 20/20 is just suicidal, But i daresay Money & contracts are involved in this one. RR i have never wasted 35 years. You may like to bat second on a pitch that has been used, good luck & be my guest. If i win a toss i will bat every time, Post whatever score & watch the pitch deteriorate. (20/20 is a gamble whatever the toss but nobody remembers those games anyway!) But Please 20/20 tournaments as a warm up for a test series is just NQR...

Oh dear...The ACB's problems are a little less dire than that...

Once again RR has to put his 5 cents in, he sits & waits to attack!! It does make a difference Batting second in a ODI, granted not so much in a 20/20 but definately in a 50 over game. That being Changing light conditions with a white ball coupled with increased moisture in the air can make (and does) make batting very Different in a one day game. The Position with the Australian Opening Bat Position at present is a complete mess, to say nothing of the use of spin bowlers. Guys are Given one match Maybe two & then thrown aside. (Chris Rodgers, Phil Jaques are not even given a chance) Meanwhile M Hussey & Ponting for that matter will be 35 next year going into another Ashes campaign...shaky. Ponting will probably survive but hussey won't. So why is M Hussey playing in India now??? That Pom Side was Ordinary at Best this year & we got pants, partly because players were not given a chance to settle in. Hayden playing beyond his time did not help the situation either. I am well aware that SK was a freak & we were spoilt for a good 15 years, i just don't think enough was done by the selectors in that time to be ready for the shift in personel Say what you like i really don't care, but its Basic cricket Knowledge that when you win a toss YOU BAT in either format of the game. How many other captains have lost the ashes twice..Ponting & who else...

I have been involved in cricket for over 35 years so i don't just write crap. How often does the chasing side win on a dodgy pitch?? One day or test??? Not Fackin often. .The Australian XI was lucky for years because of McGrath, Warne & Gilchrist but now they do not exist, As Always seems to happen not enough planning was done for this post period by the selectors or the captain. Hayden played a year too long, which only makes the rebuild that much tougher Ponting is a very "stiff" captain when the team is bowling & i will be happy to see the end of his tenure when it happens. (and no i don't think Michael Clarke is the answer, but that is another story. Once a back is gone, they never return).

Ponting is Part of the Selection Panel so he does take Blame. Also when you win a toss. One should always Bat..Think he should have recalled that from his Time at the Ashes in 2005. Ponting is a fine Batsman, but a very dull & unimaginative Captain.

Gunners put Spurs away...You beauty second on the table. 2 Goals in 49 seconds had the Totters in Tatters!!! Superb result.....3-0

Time for a new Captain i reckon, not sure who it should be but ponting's days are numbered.

Power of positive thinking Two Sheds. Well Done. Keep Going. Listen to Python, it always Helps!!

I have a 27 year old friend going thru her 2nd round of chemo. So i sympathize man. You will be around to see our next flag...stay positive.

Yes own goals really suck! Arsene is a cool customer, i'm sure he felt like kicking more than just a bottle. We do hate each other don't forget!! EPL season is sooo long anything can happen.

Once the Arabs get Bored with owning EPL clubs, as to them they are no more than a tax dodge. Arsenal will still be a major club owned by its Members. I am very happy with that. Venge does a mighty job with a smaller Budget.

They always are! Still love the old 79 F.A Cup game. Can't top that one, or the day Ferguson threw a shoe at Beckham F'N Gold!!!

Compared to Man U & those Gutter Crawlers Chelsea, yes we are. Arsenal will be right up there this year. Still a club owned by its members.

Go you Gooners. Quiet achievers, the way i like it.

Gunners, once again under the Radar will be near the Pointy end of the Ladder 6-1 over Everton was a nice little opener Thankyou very much. Bring it on....

At least we didn't sell our club to Oil Sheiks who really couldn't care less. Man U will regret that decision one day. Same goes for City & Chelsea.

So so Dull Dull Dull. I still remember & cherish the night Sir Alex threw the Boot at Beckham's head at Highbury. We Gunners are most proud of that dummy spit!

U can't follow newcastle, They are Magpies. It's just not on Benny!!!!

After watching the '79 F.A.Cup I was a Gunner for Life. Still the Best game of Soccer i have seen. Arsenal 3 Man U 2
