I've started walking to Clayton Hall and then tram to Ashton - so the earlier comments saying that wasn't possible was causing me a rethink for Wednesday - so that sounds better if they are going to stop Ashton-bound trains at Clayton Hall - but that is not what people actually experienced...

Watching Pep in action is amazing - what a leader. He knows when to praise, when to criticise, - and seems to praise much more than criticise - even after some set backs. Southampton was the exception - and half-time against Tottenham when he picks out Rico for praise and has a go at the senior...

I know all the focus will be on PhilFoden and it was a great performance- but Rodri bossed that ad usual - his control of the midfield allowed Foden to do what he did. Honourable mention for Ortega couple of great saves when we needed them - Lewis backing Rodri up so well - he will take that...

I know I’m in a minority - but I quite enjoyed that. It was a competitive match between two teams who were each looking for the moment that would make a difference ~ neither managed it and in the end Arsenal we’re needing to defend much more than us ~ but there was always the potential jeopardy...

Put me in mind of being 12 or 13 and being surrounded in the corridor with a demand that I fought another lad - I didn’t want to fight him he was a mate and I had no reason to fight him - but it seems there had been a discussion about who were the best scrappers in class and they could make up...

tripped over a bit on TNT4 - like others saying its a bit confusing with everyone having the same players - plus some who have long since retired - FairPlay to Gullet and Henry still playing at 50something! Now just watched a bit of that video. I presume it's similar to Fantasy League and you...

My Gran's Grandfathers surname was Porter - story was that he was a foundling left in a doorway and therefore named Porter (from the french for gate). I believe that sometimes Church or Kirk (scots) was used for those left in a church doorway. But we don't seem to have the same tradition of...

How could the referee let that run with two players lying in the box with head injuries?

and Mary Fowler seems to be genuinely two footed taking them right and left footed and dropping the ball in perfectly

In my memory mixed - although I've just double- checked the stats and he was top scorer for two years - so OK, probably not fair. I think I'm contrasting my initial reaction of "Wow!" when we signed him - to being so often frustrated by him and unable to get excited by the fact he played for...

We had a great couple of years with him - that Championship winning season was brilliant and then he really helped us to re-establish as a Premier league team. But his transfer policy was to sign experienced players who were looking for one more chance - worked brilliantly with Berkovic and...

I was one of those waiting at Tytherington - but gave up on it when it was half an hour late and headed back to my car parked around the corner. It arrived minutes later and I ended up following it out of Macclesfield - Doh! However, the other experiment I was wondering about was to use the...

I'm amazed at those questioning Haalands contribution to the side in general and to the win over United in particular. United set up to stop the ball coming to Haaland with Evans/Varone tight to him and Casemiro/Mainoo covering in front of him. He was never going to get the chance to to turn...

Ramadan begins next Sunday, so Saudi wanted their race moved a day earlier - hence Bahrain is a day earlier as well to allow for that.

I think that lead us towards being Saturday tea-time on BBC. They wont be worried by a clash - in fact might want it to mess up ITV viewing figures. But in this day and age it doesnt matter - last Saturday I had two televisons side by side so that I could watch Scotland and City win. And this...

He gave a foul a couple of times - and the first one led to the second goal in that the next time the ball was played in he didn't get so tight and Haaland was able to turn and get away. After that Ref gave some and not others - but bear in mind that Haaland (like every centre forward) is also...

I’m watching the pair of them wondering how anyone paid over a £100m for each of them. Fernandez is Ok - a busy bits and pieces midfielder - but he doesn’t control the game - or change the game - He isn’t going to create or score a bagful of goals. But Caicedo - slow, cant tackle, cant pass -...

United, League Cup 1974 - 0-1 - first in a long line of disappointing defeats to lower division opposition and I've still never been at that place to see us win.

We've always known how good he is - but watching him come back into an already good side on a good run of wins and to see the way he then improves that team, is amazing. He increases the pace, he is free to roam - but always arrives in the right place at the right time, his passing is so sharp...

Thanks for your post. It's clearly an issue that is close to you and that makes it hard when some folk respond with throw away lines. The whole social media thing is difficult. You are right - its creates space for hate-speech. Yet here we are on social media interacting in a way we wouldn't do...
