Guardiola is, for me, the best manager of all time and one my favourite sporting figures. It’s been a joy to watch him weekly for a decade and I penned some words on his legacy. Check it out 👇🏼 mirror.co.uk/sport/football/…
Pep Guardiola leaves claiming 'nothing is eternal' - but he got one thing wrong

Pep Guardiola leaves claiming 'nothing is eternal' - but he got one thing wrong

Pep Guardiola bought the curtain down on a decade in England as the Manchester City boss left having conquered all before him, breaking records and doing so in his own stylish way

Chatted to All Blacks great Dan Carter about his fairytale ending with New Zealand and how he never looked back after winning the World Cup. mirror.co.uk/sport/rugby-uni…
All Blacks great Carter never wanted New Zealand return after 'fairytale' ending

All Blacks great Carter never wanted New Zealand return after 'fairytale' ending

Dan Carter enjoyed a triumphant end to his All Black days in 2015, winning the Rugby World Cup, and even when he watched New Zealand in the years that followed he never questioned his decision

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 👇🏼 mirror.co.uk/sport/football/…
Newcastle's 'harder and harder' PSR excuse falls foul after £125m transfer error

Newcastle's 'harder and harder' PSR excuse falls foul after £125m transfer error

Newcastle's season hit a low point after their loss to Sunderland on Sunday and Eddie Howe again bemoaned the situation they find themselves in come the transfer market

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.

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.
