Eoin Morgan says he has yet to decide whether he will lead the England one-day side to Bangladesh at the end of this month.Morgan was the first of Englands two captains - Alastair Cook being the other - to speak publicly about the trip since it was confirmed it would go ahead, following a security inspection led by the ECBs head of security Reg Dickason.It has been reported that Morgan is one of the players with the most significant doubts about undertaking the tour. However he claimed, despite being captain, he does not see his decision as being influential on other players who may be wavering. Absolutely not. It is a completely individual thing, he said. The decision any individual makes within the side is the right one and everybody will stand by whoever wants to go or not, and I think that is very important.I think when so much information is thrown at you within two months of a terrorist attack, you need to digest everything and be settled within yourself so you can go there and concentrate on cricket.As with other players who have commented on the tour, Morgan said the on-going one-day series against Pakistan has made it difficult to consider the Bangladesh situation.The one-day squad was due to be announced on September 9, two days after the T20 at Old Trafford, but it has now been pushed back into the following week in order to give the players some breathing space after the international season finishes. Morgan indicated that he expected players positions - including his own - to be clear within a couple of days of the T20.Conversations continue to go on between the players and Dickason, as well as Andrew Strauss, the director of England cricket, who last week said he believed it was 100% safe for the tour to go ahead following the ECB delegations visit and hoped there would not be any absentees.I would say in a short space of time it is a difficult one, but we have certainly been given the time by the ECB which helps, Morgan said. We have not had a great deal of downtime. I think we will take as much time as we need to make a decision and to feel comfortable and to feel safe.If wed had time off or no cricket between the meeting and now, I cant say I would be any closer to the decision, but I would have had more time to digest everything and let everything settle.If Morgan did withdraw from the tour, England would need a stand-in captain. Jos Buttler, who captained England against Pakistan in the second T20 in the UAE when Morgan was rested, is the vice-captain of the one-day side and could be in line to lead.There is an expectation that some players who appear across all three formats will be rested for the one-day series. Joe Root, who has played 32 international matches since January 1 this year - the second most in the world - would head that list while Moeen Ali and, despite his truncated season, Ben Stokes are also in line for a break. Stokes will be crucial to Englands chances across the seven Tests against Bangladesh and India.Chad Wallach Jersey . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. Jose Fernandez Jersey .

Arsenal failed to take full advantage of its main rivals stumbles on Saturday as substitute Gerard Deulofeu levelled with a hard shot from a tight angle in the 84th minute to give Everton a deserved point. Ahead of a crucial fortnight that will see them play against Napoli in the Champions League, Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal leads by five points ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea.As he walks down the steps of the stand that now bears his name, Graham Taylor points out the parts of the ground that he remembers from his first spell as Watford manager in the late seventies and early eighties.None of the old stands remain, but he speaks with such clarity about the terraced areas, the family enclosure, the stand where his good mate and former Chairman Sir Elton John used to watch from, that youd think they were still there. Ill shut up in a minute! he says, mindful he has a community engagement to fulfil shortly after our interview.Its changed very much and all for the better. Im so pleased to see it. And sitting here in my stand! No, it has my name on it. Its not my stand but its fantastic, I appreciate that so much. Quique Sanchez Flores (left) and Odion Ighalo (right) have helped Watford climb the table As the club prepares for Saturdays match at home to Leeds United in the last 16 of the FA Cup, memories are jogged of Watfords most successful cup run, when Taylor led them to the final in 1984.I dont want to remember too much of it because we lost to Everton in the final, Taylor recalls. And I think the players that I managed during my career will say, Yeah, nice fella, but poor loser!It was a fantastic achievement though; the only time Watford have got to the final and to achieve that bearing in mind the level of performance, bearing in mind the players we had. It was really a first class job just to get there. But it was disappointing. I dont care what anybody says, its always disappointing if you get to Wembley and lose. Taylor speaks to Peter Kennedy (right) during a Watford match against Chelsea Taylor was 32 and managing Lincoln City when he answered Sir Eltons call and took the Watford job back in 1977. The club was in the Fourth Division, but just five years later they had reached the top flight.In the 1982/83 season they finished second in the league behind an all-conquering Liverpool side. It was no flash in the pan, as they proved the following season when reaching that FA Cup Final. John Barnes was the headline act but Taylor stresses it was a team effort.To be fair there were a lot of other players who havent had as much recognition as John, I mention Luther Blissett because hes a local boy who did ever so well. There was John McClelland who was a centre back. He had pace but more than anything else he could read the game and he did it from the back for the team so we could get 1-0 up and then through Johns leadership we could hold that lead. Taylor and chairman Elton John on the Vicarage Road pitch And off the field, he was backed by a supportive board, led by Sir Elton. Fantastic chairman, never interfered at all. His view was, Were paying him to be our manager, were paying him to run our team, to select the team. If itt goes wrong its his fault not ours! But that helped because you could talk to the directors about the team.dddddddddddd The directors have never been given credit for sticking with me. In our first year in the second division we finished 18th and that could have turned certain directors. Taylor was a manager of his time, admitting he would struggle with the way many Premier League clubs are set up at management level. Its interesting because its not something Im happy with - Im not talking here at Watford, its changed in a lot of places, he explains.The owners of clubs are very wealthy people and they want a lot more of a say in the running of a club, and the running of the team, the selection of the team and who is transferred in. I have to say I wouldnt have been happy with that. It was beginning to come in as I left management. Im not particularly keen on being called the manager of a football team when really Im just head coach. Watford have been one of the surprise packages of the Premier League season so far At Watford and elsewhere in Europe, the Pozzo family have worked wonders with their unique approach to club ownership. You cant argue with that, Taylor continues. As much as what Ive just said, theyve done extremely well in how theyve worked it out. And more and more they seem to have put Watford at the top of all the clubs they have an interest in. Its a top division theyre playing in now and theyre handling themselves very well.It may have continental ownership, but this is a place with deep community roots. We concluded our chat to allow Taylor to head into one of the clubs suites to speak to local children at Show Racism The Red Cards 20th anniversary event. Taylor is rightfully proud of the clubs strong community programme, one that dates back to his first spell here. Deeney merits England call Quique Sanchez Flores says Troy Deeney deserves England chance I made it very clear that the club belonged to the town. What I started at Lincoln was the players going out to where our supporters worked. The supporters loved it but I used to make the point to the Watford supporters; you come and watch us and have to pay to watch, we dont have to pay a thing to watch you work.The relationship that established in this town was fantastic. You could see John Barnes play and then a few days later hed come to your work place and youd talk to him about the game. The players enjoyed it as well.For me I still think it was one of the most important things I gave the lead to, the community aspect, because it became known as a community club. Thats what Watford is. Players, supporters, were all in it together.Watch Soccer Saturday from 12noon on Sky Sports News HQ to see Graham Taylors full interview with Johnny Phillips.Also See:Flores flexible on tacticsDeeney merits England chanceWhich team is most expensive?Burnley sign free agent Dyer ' ' '

Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a lot and don't manage to get anything done.
