@alex_pattle That meeting must've been like looking in a mirror for you, AP.

Great time to sign up for ⁦@MiguelDelaney⁩’s new newsletter, Inside Football, ahead of the new season. Should be some fascinating insight from stateside during the World Cup, too – and it’ll come around quickly… ⚽️ https://t.co/ghH89NFx8i

It is rare for a rivalry to transcend sport, but #TaylorSerrano belongs in the same breath as Federer vs Nadal and Messi vs Ronaldo. This is as good as sport gets.

Contrary to popular opinion, Jon Jones’s career ending at 2am, at a random point in a press conference in Baku, is fitting.

He didn’t deserve a grand send-off after a glorious career; there was no glorious career.
