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 #Motd

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. #mufc

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.

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’ #eng #worldcup
