@FootballRamble With talk of teams being too worn out due to fixture congestion and the intensity of their play, is there a chance the FA Cup or League Cup could be done away with? Especially considering the teams who could win a cup, but choose to prioritise the league and field weakened sides.

It's Cup Final day! And who cares about that, international football's nearly here! To celebrate, we need your questions for Marcus, Pete and Jim for this week's Mailbag. Ask away! 👇

@NoContextCounty James Vince isn't a very elegant batsman to watch. Always thought his technique looked jerky and un-aesthetic

NEW: A right wing Facebook group is being probed by West Mercia Police after it posted fake content that imitated a letter from Worcestershire County Council.  The fake letter tried to pretend the council would place British flags on roundabouts, at a cost of £70,000.

Justice for Gus Atkinson! I think this is fine, it is just cricket. Situations in recent history like Johnathan Trott’s should warn us about the dangers of having the opposite mindset

@NoContextCounty Joe Root's back foot punch/drive. Hardest shot of them all to play properly

You can take one shot to add to your game, what shot do you take and who from?

@NoHotMashes From what I've seen of Tribe, he passes the eye test in a similar way to Bethell. They clearly like his technique

@fionasins_ How the hell does Alec Douglas Home get into B? You don't get a medal just for turning up, surely?

I wonder whether the new Dukes balls will prove popular…

Controversially I just think we should have a country where services work and the bins get collected, but sure, let's have a row about badgers on banknotes

I was very sorry to hear of the death of Major Gordon Corrigan, MBE, yesterday. His approach to Great War history in particular, and especially his book, ‘Mud, Blood & Poppycock’, did a great deal to give the wider public a more accurate and nuanced view of the conflict.

Very sad to say goodbye. He was the best of friends, and a stalwart of the @AspectsHistory dining club. If anything contributed to a shake up of popular thinking about the First World War it was ‘Mud, Blood and Poppycock’. You will be missed, Gordon! @Gurkha_Brigade

Maj Gordon Corrigan, who died this morning, was a great Ulsterman, accomplished historian & author, who was the epitome of the highest standards of the Brigade of #Gurkhas. The very best of company, he was a dear friend. “For God and for valour he rode through the land.” RIP.

Appointing a guy with no experience of English football at all as either a player or manager straight into a relegation fight at a massive club with huge structural problems is a gamble, to say the least 😬
