Please don’t waste your £1 to read this…it’s a completely misleading headline and no truth to the Ashes story what so ever!

I think what people frequently forget about Andy Murray when it comes to the Big 3/4 debate is that he himself knows and has many times acknowledged the fact that the Big 3 are in a stratosphere of their own.
This speaks volumes about Rafael Nadal's humility and how much he rates Andy Murray's career:
When Andy came to visit his museum, Rafa felt the need to apologize for having a room, which wasn't his decision to make, dedicated to the Big 3 rather than the Big 4

McKenzie vs Archer
I note that politicians and journalists have been falling over themselves in praise of Lord Jeffrey Archer who has died aged 86. I don’t share that view.
Back in 1987 Archer sued the Daily Star for libel after they reported he had paid for sex with a prostitute.
Thanks to his lies in the witness box he was awarded £500K in damages, a record at the time. Actually the paper was right he had had paid £6K for her services.
The editor, a talented Aussie called Lloyd Turner who had done a great job for the paper, was fired by the idiot owner who preferred to believe a politician than his own staff.
That verdict left Turner, according to his wife, a broken man, and he died five years later at 57.
So, he never had the pleasure, some six years later, of seeing Archer, being jailed for perjuring himself and forced to hand back the £500K.
Archer’s lies destroyed Turner’s career and hurried the end of his life.
Disgracefully, that story has been ignored by the good and great in the hagiographies.

Accents: Northumberland ⏳️
The old Northumberland accent and its wider Northumbrian dialect originate from the early medieval Anglian speech brought to northern Britain by Germanic settlers in the 5th and 6th centuries.
Northumberland's geographical position and its troublesome border history with Scotland kept its rural speech isolated, preserving conservative Germanic and Old English pronunciations that faded elsewhere.

At least when Kane breaks the #England appearance record, it will be held by a genuine all time great rather than someone who played on at least 5 years too long & is probably still deciding which way to dive for the German penalties. – at Walsall, England
Maldini was a crucial part of two champions league winning teams after turning 35, only losing a third final because of a freakish Liverpool comeback
Sergio Ramos at 35yrs🇪🇸 ,he was washed and used to be benched at PSG
John Terry at 35yrs🏴,he was washed and was a bench player
Rio Ferdinand 🏴at 35 yrs ,he was at QPR washed nearing his retirement
Paulo Maldini🇮🇹 at 35yrs ,he was a bench player at Ac Milan
Vinicent Kompany 🇧🇪at 35yrs ,he had already returned to Belgium for retirement!
But ,at 35 yrs ,Virgil Van Djik 🇳🇱is still the captain of Liverpool and Netherlands dropping masterclasses week in week out
In terms of longevity no CB can chat VVD!

Banning chavs from airlines, genuinely unbelievable work
You know that feeling when you book a flight for 50 quid and somehow it ends up costing 100?
Getting seats together, correcting a typo, another charge here and there, it all adds up.
When the cost of living is already squeezing people, those endless extras can feel relentless.
So we're changing the rules for you.
Parents won't need to pay a penny extra just to sit next to their own children.
You'll be able to fix any name errors on your booking free of charge.
And because the last thing you want once you're on the plane is more stress, we're working with the industry to make sure that disruptive passengers who have been banned from one airline can be banned from flying with other airlines too.
I know holidays are expensive and these are small things, but hopefully they'll make your trip just that little bit cheaper and easier.
That's exactly the kind of thing I want this government to keep on fixing.
