Guardiola is, for me, the best manager of all time and one my favourite sporting figures.

Newcastle seem to attract PSR talk more than most. Yes it’s a hurdle, but they can still do more and be smarter.

Jotted down some thoughts on it all here 👇🏼

Lando takes the title - and yes a lot of F1 as a driver is out of your control.

But boy you wonder how Max reflects on his total inability to control his attitude at Barcelona all those months ago.

High chance he would still be world champion had he kept his composure.

Had a ponder down memory lane a decade on from Klopp being appointed at Anfield.

Some stellar signings that helped define his era and a host of memorable games.

Jack Willis - Top 14 player of the year.

England have one of the best talents in world rugby, and they’re not able to utilise him.

When we look back, Willis not playing during his prime years will feel criminal.

Quite how Josh Van der Flier will end his career without playing a Test for the Lions is beyond me

@MattHardyJourno Amen. Been saying this for years. So many GAA stadiums with big capacities that could host their games

[Sam Meade @samjmeade]

Fin Smith. England’s 10. What a player

[Mirror Sport @MirrorSport]

World Cup winner Matt Dawson believes Marcus Smith is better utilised at fly-half - but has backed his replacement Fin Smith to benefit as both start against France | @samjmeade

Every #DDay I come back to Harry Billinge ❤️

If you’re tempted to moan about something meaningless or complain today… watch Harry and think about what he, and many others, went through for the freedoms we all too often take for granted.

There aren’t many of those heroes left but they have so much to teach us.

We’ll be playing music to commemorate the anniversary throughout the day on @ClassicFM
