On the Stains site, a few are praying for rain.





Oh how times change.

If the it happens as forecasted on that site we should be in for a great day

Nice drinking weather and a dry pitch, lets hope it stays that way.

They should start praying for a pair of halfs never mind rain

silly silly Matthew still can't get over what you've done

this is the one i use.........you can scrole the clouds across by friday you.l be able to see any potential showers that might arrive and at what time. news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/9? forecast changes daily.....so i wouldnt get too excited yet about it being sunny.

Wasn't it Potter who blamed the rain in part for us beating them on Good Friday, or was that another bitter coach back at the start of the season?

they water the pitch quite considerably anyway compared to most clubs for a league game. i remember thinking every year that it spoils the spectacle a bit as the handling is never quite up to normal levels.



it is only a matter of time before the watered pitch, coupled with the steep drop off immediately after the in-goal line, is going to result in a serious injury to someone chasing a kick.

Live weather update from old trafford



Been some rain overnight and light showers 6AM-8AM

20 Minute shower at 9:45AM

Currently not raining and sunshine is expected this afternoon

the lads where practising yesterday with dropping the ball in a bucket of water and putting the ball through quick hands with a soaked ball. First time I've ever seen a drill like that before but I suppose it makes sense. If you can catch the ball when it is soaking you can catch the ball when it is dry.

more MM attention to detail...........

you would have noticed that the players would have dropped it more when it was wet rather than when it was dry
