    I agree, by and large. What I question is his ability to find the right solutions - to be fair that’s not all on him as he needs the backing of the club to make changes to the playing squad.

    Anthony Taylor doing the honours this weekend

    ...I don't really have to follow up by saying "Not for us", do I?

    Six miles from Old Trafford. Claims to support non-league Altrincham.

    Great athleticism but that should be six, it’s past the line.

    That rule in cricket has always annoyed me

    It's the same rule as in Rugby, has to be touching the ground to count. Don't see what is wrong with that.

    Carabao Cup shock!

    ManCity play a Premier League team before final!

    OK it's Burnley, but still....

    Yes clearly it's a random draw. Except if you ask Derren Brown if he could fix a cup draw, yet making it appear random, I'm pretty sure he would say yes.

    Just not a fan of it, over the line should count as a boundary

    As far as I recall fielding of this standard is a recent phenomenon brought about by limited overs and T20 where the run chase is more critical, in the old days very few fielders would put down their *** or pint to dive to prevent a six

    Simple rule though to follow and really doesn't happen often and adds to the excitement.
    There are generally enough six's in a game.

    Yeah true, although I still say the best fielder ever was Jonty Rhodes

    Not going to argue with that, he stood out on his own , now there are quite a few who are close to his standards

    Alan Ealham at Kent had the best arm I have ever seen, not as athletic as Randall or Rhodes, but every throw from anywhere on the boundary was right into Knottys gloves over the stumps.

    <laugh> for years I thought it was Jonty Rhode rather than John Torrode.
