Emma Raducanu, 18, was lectured by some middle-aged men on how to handle pressure when she withdrew from Wimbledon. She regrouped and two months later she's a Grand Slam champion. Let it be a turning point: support our young people and back them to find their own path to success.

When a teenage fan of @FulhamFC , who has cerebral palsy, was sent abuse online, the club put his photo on their website as a first team player. That was brilliant. Today when they scored, the players went one better. This, this, a thousand times this. Brilliantly well done FFC.

It's tone deaf, that tweet from Ronaldo, and if you're one of the many people replying to Gary to say it's fine, then you're tone deaf too. When athletes - any celebrities - tweet they need some awareness of the world around them, and to know that it doesn't revolve around them.

Literally everything about VAR needs to be reframed. If you think the Iran pen wasn't a pen, the ref got it wrong not VAR. He had a chance to review and called it that way. If you think it was a pen (not many do), VAR helped the ref get it right. Not a "VAR assisted goal", FFS.

A gentle reminder that it's perfectly possible and reasonable to enjoy rugby this morning *and * football this afternoon. If you don't like one of them, you have the option to do something else while it's on, and just enjoy your sport, rather than being a tiresome smart arse.

As a kid, I watched football matches through fences. If you are unaware of the reasons why those fences were removed, you have no place in a football stadium. If you break the inherent pact that we in turn do not run on the pitch and assault people, it's a betrayal of a tragedy.

To whom it may concern: you have no idea why people are queueing outside shops. Don't be a dick about it. Maybe their kids have badly outgrown their clothes during lockdown. Maybe they need a change of scene for their mental health. Try to be a lot less judgy and a bit more kind.

Someone very wise said to me about 10 years ago: the answer to bad noise is more good noise. People have spent that decade trying to stop online abuse when what we need is to have so much good noise that it leaves no room for bad. This is the best example of that you'll ever see.

So now we're down to details. How quickly can it happen? Does it disrupt the game? Have you ever seen stats about how much of a game the ball is out of play for? What about players pretending to be injured. This isn't much disruption to get such huge decisions right (or wrong).

Football has never stayed the same - it has always evolved. Like languages, if we freeze something in time it will die. Products are never perfect to start with. The refs make the decisions. It isn't 'chaos' and it isn't 'ruining games'. Nor is it perfect. Things rarely are.

Did refs get most things right before VAR? Yes in my view. Was there an occasional clanger like Henry's handball against Ireland? Also yes. If we have video replays by the side of the field, should the refs have the ability to quickly watch it and be sure? Surely, yes.

I don't understand this argument that VAR should be used at all stadiums in a competition or none. If one game has the ability to help the on-field ref make better decisions, use it. It has absolutely no impact on the quality of refereeing decisions in a totally separate match.

It doesn't, though. Liverpool can get to 69 points. If Chelsea beat Leicester on Tuesday, CFC can get to 70 and LCFC could still get 69. It would then be down to GD if both LFC and LCFC win next Sunday. LFC would be relying on LCFC not getting a bigger win = not in own hands.

Happy birthday @GlennHoddle . Here you are in 1986 at the old @SpursOfficial training ground with a small boy who idolised you on his 10th birthday. Thanks for the kickabout.

This is a significant moment in the story of how athletes use their platforms. By getting out in front of this tonight, generating waves of public support, Marcus has won before we even find out what the publication has written. He's changing PR now on top of everything else 😂

Just heard @spectator are planning to run a story on me tomorrow about how I have benefitted commercially in the last 18 months…To clarify, I don’t need to partner with brands. I partner because I want to progress the work I do off the pitch and…(1)

Ray Winstone urging us to gamble responsibly while flashing up the odds of Llorente scoring the next goal might be the biggest oxymoron in television history.

If anyone ever suffers from imposter syndrome, a reminder that this is someone with a reputation as an unprecedented mastermind in controlling the media narrative. Never, ever doubt yourself again.

Get your news from trusted, independent sources. Understand that what you see on social media may not be true. Be vigilant about what you share. Don't contribute to misinformation on public social media or in private groups. Support good, responsible journalism wherever you can.

One day, my time will come and they will lay me down to rest. My grown-up kids are at my graveside, remembering the times we had. Someone pushes past them, whispers at the coffin. "Hi. I know you don't work there any more but I am having trouble getting verified on Twitter ..."

This year I grew pumpkins from seeds, for the first time. One of the benefits of lockdown was being here to water them every night. Today, I cut these three from the vine. My kids carved two and I made pumpkin pie and pumpkin cookies. Tomorrow, pumpkin soup. Today was fun.

Tweeting a link to a statement which is so short you could have just tweeted the statement and then the website crashing so nobody can access the statement feels oddly appropriate for this evening.

The response to this tweet has been a real-time case study in social media parody accounts, how unquestioning people are when stuff drops into their timeline, and how all of that gets filtered into traditional media. It's been fascinating to watch.

Here's the teamsheet for tonight's game and we are absolutely furious because Sydenham have fielded their players to spell out "SRFC ARE SHIT". We know this for a fact because Dane Francis, a striker, is wearing number 3. Hope the league committee throw the book at them for this.

I don't use a Peloton but the idea that the Govt would be dismissive of any form of exercise, especially after a period when people were legally restricted in how many times per day they could go outside, blows my mind. Exercise is central to health of mind and body.

Brilliant. I'm sure most people have seen the rendition of Sunshine on Leith from the 2016 Scottish Cup Final. It's amazing here as a tribute to Ron Gordon - and somehow seems more 'football' for it to be at night, under lights, with a hint of snow in the air. What an anthem.

An emotional and powerful rendition of the greatest anthem in football - Sunshine On Leith - for Ron Gordon at Easter Road. Thank you, thank you 💚

Good stuff. Correct decision. Now let's get one for every player on every team. Have them kneel for racial equality while wearing rainbow armbands and we can all enjoy watching a vocal minority of angry middle-aged men boil in a broth of their own prejudice. It'll be awesome.

UEFA have today shared with the DFB that they have stopped the review of the rainbow captain's armband worn by @Manuel_Neuer . In a letter, the armband has been assessed as a team symbol for diversity and thus for a 'good cause.' #EURO2020 #GER

Just because I am nice, here is the same tweet but slower. And with footballs to make it easier to read. Spurs haven't won anything yet ⚽️ They may not do so ⚽️ But if they are going to win something ⚽️ This year ⚽️ It will be in Madrid ⚽️ Because the final ⚽️ Is in ⚽️ Madrid 😁

It's been a mad night. Amber Rudd signed as a free agent with the Patriots and Antonio Brown has resigned in order to stand as an independent MP in Hastings.

File this under the enduring fascination the middle-class media has with working class 60s London. His grandad was a rascal and his nan's sister may or may not have known the Krays? You've just described half the East End in those days, I'd imagine.

If May does resign at 10pm and it happens live on BBC Two while the national broadcaster sticks with a Cup replay between Soton and Derby on its showpiece channel it will be a fitting epitaph to her career as PM. Yeah thanks Theres ... ooh Nathan Redmond is through one on one.

Absolutely brilliant story-telling. Well worth 5 minutes of your time. Love the way this uses different angles and footage to tell the story. Not sure why Hendrix is the soundtrack but somehow it just works!

Can we all take a moment to admire Faf de Klerk's look which is basically that of someone who stars in Neighbours for three series before coming over to Britain to knock out some Stock, Aitken and Waterman albums and then finally moving into panto as a much-loved, adopted Brit.

Not even remotely having talk of England being England, whatever. First time in a World Cup semi-final in 28 years. Nobody expected that. Nobody. First time in any major men's semi-final in 22 years. England fell back in love with @England . Get your heads up lads. Well done.

Today marks six months since I last had an alcoholic drink. Never intended to stop for this long - only meant to lose a bit of weight after the summer (World Cup = pizza, beer) but I've found I much prefer it. The older I got the more the hangovers outweighed any pleasure anyway.
