On the other hand, how classy are Joe Root and James Anderson, with honourable mentions to Mark Wood and Johnny Bairstow

But this is Venkys! They know how to appoint people for their chicken business but not football managers

I've never really commented much about Mowbray as I no longer go to matches but I did read the interview and I had that feeling you get when the villain in a film says to the heroine ' dont you trust me,' and I want to shout at her, 'dont trust him an inch, love. If they have to bang on about trust, they are not trustworthy'

Depends how you watch. We tend to watch 2 or max 3 episodes a night. We like to be able to finish a series before we start the next one but we wouldn't watch the whole series in one sitting

You have to think about when it happened. Pre mobile phones and Internet. It was possible just to drop out much more so than now

The serpent was superb. Well worth watching. It had us gripped from start to end

So can we blame him for our rubbish performances this season? Whatever he did or didn't do at the start of his tenure, he's doing poorly now

Currently watching The Serpent and really enjoying it.

I've only watched the first 2 series. Need to get back into it

So pleased for you, Mike. Was going to ask yesterday because I knew he was due around Christmas but didn't want to put my foot in it if anything wasnt quite right. Itll be a hard few months ahead but will be so worth it. I should know - I have 4, 2 planned, one half planned and one out of the blue that we still dont understand! My grandma always used to say ' Babies bring their own love with them' and she was right. You think you've no more to give and then they look at you and you're overwhelmed with love. Enjoy being a daddy! And get that Rovers sleepsuit on him as soon as you can

I'm starting to get worried. All those who were stars when I was not quite a teenager are going. Makes me realise even more that I may not have long left

I never turn on tv or radio although I dont turn it off if its on, especially if I'm in on my own at night. Kim's the TV watcher. But much of what we watch is stuff we've recorded. We watch very little live, except for sport.

To be honest, I watch very little TV. I can't be bothered to concentrate through most programmes.

Saw a bit of it I think while husband was channel hopping. We're old fashioned in our house. He owns the remote

I remember it quite clearly. My younger sister was at Uni in Hull at the time and they set up a system of volunteers to walk girls home from events so they weren't out alone after dark. One of the victims was local to us. My friend had taught her in Sunday School.

I know this is probably covered elsewhere but I didn't find it trawling through. Why was there so much time added on?

I think all managers have a shelf life. Eventually it must get almost impossible to get the same group of players to perform to the max. Rich clubs get round this by changing players. Poor clubs settle for where they are and cut their cloth accordingly. Clubs with ambition but not much spare cash change manager. You can do it any time, it costs less than changing 4 or more players, and the potential rewards are high. Mind you, so is the potential risk so you, as a club and as fans, have to be prepared to fail if you want to get 9n.

And almost wish I was still watching the cricket. Never seen Sharks play so badly.

Just finished in time for Falcons v Sharks

Me too. Used to be that it was considered really common to have tatoos. You avoided lads with tatoos as they were likely to be from a bad background. Now its all kinds of people who have them and don't get me started on the way footballers look. Old fashioned? Snobbish? Yes, on this issue I'm both

Oddly enough, I just watched the highlights and said the exact same thing.

Well done. It's always good when there are good news stories in the midst of this mess

Thank you. Just a pity this damned virus means we wont see him for a month or more

Baby was born this morning. A little boy. Looks very cute.

I watched them live at the time. Dont remember Barry John but the others, yes. I've seen videos of John. I've always watched union, just never had a team to support. Middlesbrough isn't known for being a rugby area. Used to watch all the televised stuff though
