Up there with the Hearts fan complaining about Antti Niemi not making the Scotland squad...

"When it comes to the top flight of English football, Harry Redknapp knows his onions.

He must do. This is a man who has managed five different Premier League sides, got into the top four, been relegated and spent countless transfer deadline days hanging out of car windows.

However, when it comes to prospective/probable Premier League champions Leicester City, old' Arry's expertise is clearly a little limited.

How else do we explain this rather embarrassing slip-up?

Yes, Wes Morgan has been magnificent for Leicester City this season.

Yes, most England fans would rather see the Foxes' captain at the heart of the England defence than Gary Cahill.

And yes, Roy Hodgson would probably love to give Morgan an opportunity to prove himself at the top level ahead of Euro 2016.

The only problem is… Wes Morgan has 25 caps for Jamaica.

Not one or two, earned years ago. Twenty five caps - the last two of which he won in the last international break.

Oh dear. Not the finest moment in the punditry career of Old 'Arry. Given his stint as Jordan boss, you'd think he might now understand how international football works…"

Don't thin 'Arry plays cricket?

To be fair to Redknapp, Morgan is about as Jamaican as a cream tea. I think he only qualifies because his hometown has a similar rate of gun crime to Kingston.
