The good news is that Garth Crooks is no longer on BBC team of the week duties. The bad news is that honour now falls to Troy Deeney.

How long will it take Deeney to compare a player against himself/what he would have done.

Well at least people watching illegal streams and social media ****ers will know what's going on. Never mind the people who've paid to actually attend the match <doh>

Yuck. Fernandes extends his Man Utd contract meaning I have to continue to see his horrible rat face constantly whining and moaning, surrounding the referee at every opportunity and pathetically flailing, diving and rolling around trying to get people booked, before getting up to sprint off shortly after. Really can't stand that twat. Not seeing it as much last season was a real joy. One of the benefits of not being in the PL and so not following it much.

The handball law will be relaxed a tad. Players have been told by the Premier League they do not have to move with their arms rigidly by their sides or behind their backs.
The position of their arm or hand will be judged in relation to the movement of their body.
"We get a sense that we give too many handballs for actions that are quite normal and justifiable," said Webb.
"The guidance to officials this season is less is more. You will see fewer harsh handball penalties."
Meanwhile, a non-deliberate handball that leads to a penalty will no longer be an automatic booking offence.
During penalties the ball must be on or hanging over the centre of the penalty spot, rather than at any point on the spot.

Not a moment too soon.
We’ve had penalties given so many times because arms were in “unnatural positions” yet there is nothing more unnatural for a defender to defend with his arms behind his back.

Is there anything in the small print about the change not applying if the ball strikes a Saints players' hand? <whistle>

0-0 half time at Oude Trafford and Harry's made a splash.
"Gary Neville Former Manchester United defender on Sky Sports

Seeing Harry Maguire dive does look a little bit awkward.

Maguire throws himself to the ground.

A little bit gutted I have wasted 45 minutes watching this awful game when Coventry vs Oxford has apparently been a belter (had no idea that was also on TV).
