The perfect storm of being hit in the knackers while wearing a microphone. Tears of pain, tears of laughter. Well played Liam. SOUND ON.

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.
We couldn't give a fuck what they think. As a city we raised money and smiled. And cried. All ages. All colours. #OneLoveManchester

Why does anyone in their right minds think Islamic terrorists care one iota about a copper dancing with some kids at a pop concert?
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
World Cup Final, Stokes at Headingley, Ashes series, T20 Final going down to last ball, County Championship going down to last game next week. Sensational tv, radio & written coverage. Cricket is not broken.
I know there has been so much analysis of the pundits at this tournament but Zabaleta and Drogba have been a joy to work with and spend time with. Intelligent, interesting, fun and proper team players.
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.

Heartbreak for Harry Kane... thesun.uk/6015DevOz
I’ve spent too much time in football because I’m finding it so refreshing that William and Harry are talking to each other in the church without putting their hands over their mouths. #RoyalWedding
A grown up explanation of why decisions were made. Agree or disagree at least we know why. Won’t hold my breath that it will happen here.

#ALeague referee Chris Beath chats through the three controversial VAR decisions tonight.
Maybe I am just a soppy old sod but John Askey played over 400 times for Macclesfield, has a terrace named after him and has now managed them back into the Football League. I like stories like that. Nice.
Hope you got him a card today then. twitter.com/fizzer18/statu

Trott & Kenny didn't marry in secret. Their friends and family were there! They just didn't tell the media. It's called being normal.
First thing Yaya Toure does in his thank you speech to fans at Manchester City is send his best wishes to Sir Alex Ferguson. Big round of applause follows. Classy.
Chairman, players, fans all pulling in the same direction under the stewardship of one of the nicest, most genuine guys you could meet in the game in Chris Hughton. Well played this season.
For those who can’t understand how you can play a sport for 5 days and a draw still be possible, this is why. Guts, determination, skill, psychology, mental & physical exhaustion, atmosphere, tension all in evidence. Love cricket. #ashes
Standard default position when things aren’t going well, throw Luke Shaw under a bus.
One hour after the full time whistle and still in his kit the England captain is signing autographs for fans. #class #connection #Kane #together #worldcup #semifinal @ Cosmos Arena instagram.com/p/Bk8BMG1gLcE/
Too many games, too many games, too many ga....oh look we can make even more money.

UEFA and European clubs close to an agreement to expand Champions League by four matches a season. No decision yet on which format but big implications for domestic football. thetimes.co.uk/article/plan-t
He is a class act, Didier Drogba out having photos with young Shrewsbury fans, 30 mins after final whistle.
Every week #motd2 is a proper team effort put together by talented people. You have probably shouted at us & we have probably pissed you off at times but we always try to make it fun and interesting! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Til next season....
When my 6yr old daughter has spent the last 2 evenings pretending to be Ben Stokes and my 12yr old daughter has been both Jofra Archer & Jos Buttler I think you can tell what has dominated our weekend listening and watching. 🏏🏏🏏
A great afternoon with the players. All 23 available. They were approachable, open, funny, confident and hugely likeable. Doesn’t mean we’ll win the World Cup obviously but it does feel different.
The number of times I stopped myself from tweeting this morning, just in case I cursed it! Hundred in his first test, hundred in his last. Thank you Alastair Cook.
Amazed at the broadcasting capabilities of Tony Livesey especially and other 5live colleagues today. I can’t even find the right words on here. Rachael was a remarkable woman and so many people have found her pod & blog so valuable. Love to Steve & Freddie. ❤️
They’ve taken their time, theyve made sure they get it right they’ve coordinated something special and they care. Seriously impressive. #PlayersTogether
Having heard opening his breakfast show & read out that remarkable email on , god I love radio. It will always be the best of friends!! 📻❤️
Watching in a Russian restaurant so can’t hear our commentary but I would imagine Lawro is about to self combust.
What an amazing six weeks. Thanks for listening and watching to the World Cup and . I have loved every minute. A couple of weeks of sitting around in my pants, drinking tea and then we’ll go again shall we?
A signed painting of Ben Stokes celebration at Headingley has just been bought at the #PCA Cricket Awards auction by......Jack Leach!
Mark & Lard to replace Chris Evans on breakfast just like they did at Radio 1? If not, they already have a warm, funny, lovely former R1 breakfast show host on their books so would love it to be her. I am biased though!
Ten years ago today I went to the Radio 1 toilet and never came back. Where has that decade gone?
No, YOU feel old.
My new series of ‘taking former footballers on public transport’ off to a strong start.
Arrive in Russia. Look at Twitter. See this. Nostalgia, memories and friendships combine. Desperately try not to well up. twitter.com/fraudolento_/s

The 5live sport producers giving me plenty of opportunities to make a right mess of tonight's show with a Shane Warne interview from 8 and a Shaun Wane interview from 9.
2 sides going hell for leather. Full blooded, no cards, no diving, no physios on. Great atmosphere. Sensational game #celticvcity
John Murray, Ian Dennis, Alistair Bruce-Ball and Conor McNamara are all experienced commentators and journalists who bring knowledge and enthusiasm to every single game they cover. Respected, liked and popular. Love working with them.
Haven’t been on here for ages, mainly because it can really affect my happiness! But I need to return to say thank you for all the messages about the #SJA2017 win. They mean a lot. I’m always part of a team & very lucky to work with a lot of talented people.
Absolutely love this. An elite athlete not throwing a strop, not walking off, but giving a sensational answer that gives us insight into his craft and what he sees out on the field.

I know people keep saying strange times but bloody hell Brady is no longer Patriot.

The #Bucs made a strong offer to QB Tom Brady believed to be $30M or more. The #Chargers did, as well. And now, he’s leaving New England.
The crowd are reserving the loudest cheers for when one of them lands a paper plane on the pitch. That is where we are at. #ENGvSLO
Am so late to this but The Edge is one of the most moving, emotional & beautifully made sporting films I have ever seen. As remarkable as the England team it tells the story of. Wow!
Never been in any doubt what the best sport is. This means you start 2020 smiling.

The greatest sport in the world.
We turned @thatssovillage's epic thread into a montage... Enjoy! 
142, 144, 92 when concussed and now a double ton. Whatever has happened in the past and whoever he plays for, you can only stand and applaud Steve Smith. #Ashes #worldclass
I know this did the rounds yesterday, but what a perfectly pitched, emotional, humorous speech from one of the best pundits in any sport. Love

"I know for you Matt in particular, this is a very poignant moment, and I'm sure your Mum is up there right now looking down on you, proud as punch"
Beautiful words, @nassercricket

Ozil just gave the ball away & stood there like a ****ing stuffed lemon.
£300k-a-week to be a lazy git.
Brechin fans deserve a pint tonight. They become the first Scottish side in 126 years to go through a whole season without a win. P36 W0 D4 L32 . Goal difference -70. There's always next season.
A young team representing a county that tries so hard to produce its own. winning finals day is a bloody great sports story.
Maradona was the greatest footballer of my youth. Now he appears to be the joke cutaway of choice for tv directors. Not that he helps himself but sad.

Well my 10 year old is off to her match with an extra spring in her step. Thank you . Sensational performance. You have given our girls dreams to aim for. #Commonwealth2018 🏅
For one of them it had to end tonight. Proper sportsmen. Proper sportsmanship. #SLLeeHul
Sometimes Manchester is red, sometimes it is blue but we are all Mancunians. When someone embraces our city and loves our city we should all be grateful. Thank you Vincent Kompany and for what you have done and are doing. #mancandproud
In case you are too young to remember, this fixture used to have intensity and tackles and passion. #MUFCvAFC
Eldest child at a party and I’m on taxi duties meaning I’m having to watch #eurovision completely sober with my middle child. God this is going to be a long night.
He still has it. scoring for Long Bennington Vets from 35 yards yesterday. This is at actual pace, it’s not a slow motion replay.
If you don’t follow NFL, you may have missed that Seattle selected a one handed player yesterday. The first ever in the league and THIS is why sport is powerful and inspirational ⬇️❤️

Good luck today @Shaquemgriffin from one of you biggest fans - Julianna!! @nflnetwork @richeisen #againstallodds #NFLDraft18 #NFLDraftDay
And I'll never forget the man I saw at 25 miles running for pancreatic cancer with the message 'this is for my dad, who died last night'.
Sport. ❤️

You bet they are, as Moeen Ali leads the celebrations 
Bumble singing, Nasser looking quizzical, a man dressed as a penguin dancing & most importantly nerve jangling, high class cricket. I love this sport and this day. #T20finalsday
Given I’ve spent decades being afraid of dogs, I never ever thought I’d even have one let alone find so much needed peace and enjoyment in walking her. She has become so so important.

It’s Chris Waddle’s birthday, which means we have an excuse to watch the greatest six-a-side goal of all time.
What a fucking ping, son.
Well played Ant and Dec. Well played the whole Takeaway team. Tears of laughter and just tears in our house. Uplifting and emotional.

One of our friends this evening is taking the World Cup of Crisps v seriously. Thanks so much . Tupperware everywhere.
6 hours of radio covering one fantastic sporting event summed up on one sheet of paper. Scruffy. #rydercup #teameurope #radio #sport @ Ryder Cup 2018 France instagram.com/p/BoW0JeCAmQR/
The World Cup Daily is riding high in the charts. Think how we’re selling it might be bringing in a new audience. ‘Penetrating insight’ etc
This is the result when you ask away fans to pay £41 for a game 140 miles away.
I know there is so much more to it but when the love and pride you have in your club is mirrored by your manager then it is bloody special and those Goodison fans have had that and more today.
Even when going out, #isl never ever gave up. And they won the 2nd half! An example for every kids' sport team.
God I never ever want to see Clattenburg do that with his tongue again. Ever.
So a statement from Hodgson but no questions or interviews. No explanation on tonight to #eng fans who spend £££££ on this team.
Sorry to gush but bloody hell I love my job. Saturday afternoons on are just an absolute dream to present. Great team.
Well played . Emphatically proving that football didn't start back in 1992. And well played to whoever researched that one in the office.
