So could I. Just get rid of it. The fact we still debate it every week confirms what a pile of poo it is, both in terms of how long simple decisions take and also the outcomes themselves, because they are still largely subjective. I hate it with a passion. It sucks the life out of games for...

I thought exactly that.

But then everyone will spend every weekend wondering if there’s been a VAR controversy. Surely that would be even worse than knowing there’s been one and getting in a tizzy about it.

As soon as I saw the two extremes and started pondering a venue midway between them, I immediately thought of The Oxfordshire. A really good stay and play venue, well worth a look.

Quality goal that.

I no longer understand football. That is just bizarre.

And we’ll re-sign Pogba and Ronaldo.

I think my expectations regarding Carrick are realistically low. I say that not because of him, but because of the players he has to work with. Two games post-Amorim and I am reminded how poor we were before him, playing a back four. And that is simply because, from a defensive perspective...

The uncertainty will not be helping, I’m sure.

My daughter’s secondary school offered the kids a trip to Vietnam. £4k. Fortunately she wasn’t interested but I know it caused all sorts of arguments elsewhere. And then of course there was the annual ski trip…….

It seems Solskjaer, during discussions, told United he wanted to be considered for the full time role if successful between now and the end of the season. But United have been there, done that and have the scars in the form of his last £10m pay off. I know United played some nice football under...

My word, how bad was that? Taking nothing away from Brighton, who were well organised and executed their game plan perfectly, but United were awful. Truly, truly dreadful. For reasons I cannot begin to fathom, having spent most of the season not taking risks by playing out from the back, what...
