I've had 5 great years presenting the NFL but I have now decided to step down. Nobody can go on for ever (unless you are Tom Brady). I wish Dan and the boys continued success. Thank you to the NFL communities on both sides of the pond for welcoming me into their sport. 🏈
We have asked why VAR did not give a red card for that Lo Celso incident. We have been told 'it wasn't a clear and obvious error because VAR didn't feel there was anywhere else for him to put his foot'. Give me strength.
Refs make mistakes,VAR will make mistakes but what is bizarre is that PGMOL never ever admit that their officials or the system get it wrong. They have an answer for everything. It’s not a crime to drop a bollock and admit it. We probably all do it every single day

Players and coaches will be criticised but if a club is run for a long time with seemingly no plan, no vision, little structure and simply as a means to make money and sign another office supplies/pillow deal this is what you end up with.

World Cup Final, Stokes at Headingley, Ashes series, T20 Final going down to last ball, County Championship going down to last game next week. Sensational tv, radio & written coverage. Cricket is not broken.
I know there has been so much analysis of the pundits at this tournament but Zabaleta and Drogba have been a joy to work with and spend time with. Intelligent, interesting, fun and proper team players.
Didn’t sound heartbroken when I spoke to him on Sports Report. Was proud of 30 league goals, proud of becoming first Spurs player since Clive Allen to hit 40 in all comps and was full of praise for Mo Salah too. In fact couldn’t have sounded less heartbroken.
I’ve spent too much time in football because I’m finding it so refreshing that William and Harry are talking to each other in the church without putting their hands over their mouths.

Maybe I am just a soppy old sod but John Askey played over 400 times for Macclesfield, has a terrace named after him and has now managed them back into the Football League. I like stories like that. Nice.
In the referees’ briefing to the media pre tournament they said they would take ‘grappling’ in the box seriously and give penalties for it. I don’t think they added ‘unless the foul is on Kane and then we’ll ignore it’

For those who can’t understand how you can play a sport for 5 days and a draw still be possible, this is why. Guts, determination, skill, psychology, mental & physical exhaustion, atmosphere, tension all in evidence. Love cricket.

Chairman, players, fans all pulling in the same direction under the stewardship of one of the nicest, most genuine guys you could meet in the game in Chris Hughton. Well played
@OfficialBHAFC
this season.
First thing Yaya Toure does in his thank you speech to fans at Manchester City is send his best wishes to Sir Alex Ferguson. Big round of applause follows. Classy.
UEFA and European clubs close to an agreement to expand Champions League by four matches a season. No decision yet on which format but big implications for domestic football.
When my 6yr old daughter has spent the last 2 evenings pretending to be Ben Stokes and my 12yr old daughter has been both Jofra Archer & Jos Buttler I think you can tell what has dominated our weekend listening and watching. 🏏🏏🏏
Every week

is a proper team effort put together by talented people. You have probably shouted at us & we have probably pissed you off at times but we always try to make it fun and interesting! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Til next season....
A great afternoon with the
@England
players. All 23 available. They were approachable, open, funny, confident and hugely likeable. Doesn’t mean we’ll win the World Cup obviously but it does feel different.
Amazed at the broadcasting capabilities of Tony Livesey especially and other 5live colleagues today. I can’t even find the right words on here. Rachael was a remarkable woman and so many people have found her pod & blog so valuable. Love to Steve & Freddie. ❤️
They’ve taken their time, theyve made sure they get it right they’ve coordinated something special and they care. Seriously impressive.

. I have loved every minute. A couple of weeks of sitting around in my pants, drinking tea and then we’ll go again shall we?
Mark & Lard to replace Chris Evans on breakfast just like they did at Radio 1? If not, they already have a warm, funny, lovely former R1 breakfast show host on their books so would love it to be her. I am biased though!
Pickford and Maguire will grab the headlines but the organisation, leadership, communication, efficiency and composure of both Henderson and Stones has been really impressive.

John Murray, Ian Dennis, Alistair Bruce-Ball and Conor McNamara are all experienced commentators and journalists who bring knowledge and enthusiasm to every single game they cover. Respected, liked and popular. Love working with them.
The 5live sport producers giving me plenty of opportunities to make a right mess of tonight's show with a Shane Warne interview from 8 and a Shaun Wane interview from 9.
Haven’t been on here for ages, mainly because it can really affect my happiness! But I need to return to say thank you for all the messages about the

win. They mean a lot. I’m always part of a team & very lucky to work with a lot of talented people.
Absolutely love this. An elite athlete not throwing a strop, not walking off, but giving a sensational answer that gives us insight into his craft and what he sees out on the field.
Am so late to this but The Edge is one of the most moving, emotional & beautifully made sporting films I have ever seen. As remarkable as the England team it tells the story of. Wow!
142, 144, 92 when concussed and now a double ton. Whatever has happened in the past and whoever he plays for, you can only stand and applaud Steve Smith.

I know this did the rounds yesterday, but what a perfectly pitched, emotional, humorous speech from one of the best pundits in any sport. Love

"I know for you Matt in particular, this is a very poignant moment, and I'm sure your Mum is up there right now looking down on you, proud as punch"
Beautiful words,

Brechin fans deserve a pint tonight. They become the first Scottish side in 126 years to go through a whole season without a win. P36 W0 D4 L32 . Goal difference -70. There's always next season.
Well my 10 year old is off to her match with an extra spring in her step. Thank you
@EnglandNetball

Sometimes Manchester is red, sometimes it is blue but we are all Mancunians. When someone embraces our city and loves our city we should all be grateful. Thank you Vincent Kompany and
@tackle4mcr
for what you have done and are doing.
#mancandproud
Incredibly harsh to go out of a World Cup on number of yellow cards received. You are essentially knocked out because of the opinion of referees.

completely sober with my middle child. God this is going to be a long night.
If you don’t follow NFL, you may have missed that Seattle selected a one handed player yesterday. The first ever in the league and THIS is why sport is powerful and inspirational ⬇️❤️
Bumble singing, Nasser looking quizzical, a man dressed as a penguin dancing & most importantly nerve jangling, high class cricket. I love this sport and this day.

Given I’ve spent decades being afraid of dogs, I never ever thought I’d even have one let alone find so much needed peace and enjoyment in walking her. She has become so so important.
Elder daughter wants the photo…
Cricket, rugby union, rugby league, NFL - you can HEAR either the officials or the video ref. What the hell do they say to each other in football that demands secrecy?

#VAR
I know there is so much more to it but when the love and pride you have in your club is mirrored by your manager then it is bloody special and those Goodison fans have had that and more today.
So grateful to both Warrington & Wigan for the access they have given us for the Grand Final. Coaches and players happy to talk, Ratchford & Charnley particularly impressive and sporting in hanging around to talk in defeat. Class sport.

are the first team to avoid relegation from the top-flight despite losing their opening seven league games since Liverpool in 1899-00. Magnificent.
