pointless. he has been an absolute revelation. i think the way he has built this side into something, winning the first trophy come out the first time of asking, has made these united fans incredibly happy. what would make them even happier is if they glazes were to sell the club. they said we want him out from the united end. if they were to sell the united end. if they were to sell the club and they are now looking like they are open at least to the idea, that would really cap off what has been a fantastic season so far, six points off city with a game in hand and really it couldn't be going too much metaphor united at this stage. too much metaphor united at this staue. ., , , , stage. conversely, is the newcastle owners who — stage. conversely, is the newcastle owners who perhaps _ stage. conversely, is the newcastle owners who perhaps would - stage. conversely, is the newcastle owners who perhaps would signal i stage. conversely, is the newcastle i owners who perhaps would signal that the wait for newcastle bosman trophy andindeed the wait for newcastle bosman trophy and indeed to return a final, neither will be as long as they would like to have been at this point? would like to have been at this oint? ~ , , ., ., ., point? absolutely. you have to feel for the newcastle _ point? absolutely. you have to feel for the newcastle united _ point? absolutely. you have to feel for the newcastle united fans, - point? absolutely. you have to feel for the newcastle united fans, all. for the newcastle united fans, all of them i spoke to, it was just

silverware. celtic defender league cup and it is the green half of glasgow, once again, to celebrate. tottenham have boosted their hopes of a top four finish in the premier league with a 2—0 win over chelsea, increasing pressure on their boss graham potter. the biggest talking point of an underwhelming first half, was when chelsea's layout was eventually sent off for that altercation. but referee stuart changed his mind after reviewing the incident. then a spurs goal. another with ten minutes to go to secure the win. the score wins damningly chelsea behind.— win. the score wins damningly chelsea behind. they have been a difficult opponent _ chelsea behind. they have been a difficult opponent for _ chelsea behind. they have been a difficult opponent for us _ chelsea behind. they have been a difficult opponent for us over - chelsea behind. they have been a difficult opponent for us over the | difficult opponent for us over the last two years and especially here at home in our new stadium. really important today to win the game, three points, to give us their around fourth place. it's tough,

scotland, 6—nation grand slam, over. a courageous comeback felljust short in paris. beat in 32 points to 21 by france with a last minute try gained a bonus point and prevented scotland from playing their own. that badge has always brought honour, scotland were in paris to measure their current progress, deep breath, quickly went badly. the white shirts of france crossed the line with their first sustained attack, within seven minutes scotland lost the red scrum cap, guilty shoulder. the officials saw the slow motion, there is no choice. now there was extra space on the page, the french school in the corner, that is rugby. big issue of minimising head injury, the players know that, but this player threw himself forward, head—to—head contact here, sent off too. the rugby was relentless, the 19—0 down,

scotland were hopeless. french defence under constant pressure now. finn russell over and scotland were just four behind. next would win it, but then france scored, 32—21. to push the match to the final seconds was itself a sign of scotland's progress. exeter moved up to fit any gallagher premiership narrow beating their opponents. man of the match performance from judge hodge saw exeter to victory. they went 10—0 up in the game, hodge's second try, helped them to the victory. saint helens began their bid for a fifth consecutive super league title. it we got to be going well champions. saints were tested by castleford, paul inside got the cabin of the

removing the pace. jack leach's spinner, 0llie pope's catch. devin conway out. 149 runs over. the big game began to turn, joe root trapped, then leach out spun willie young. new zealand 59 runs from making england bat again. zoom out and there was come, there was still kane. williamson, the former captain, one of new zealand's are great as our batters, he guided his side to the close, england will remain favourites but for the first time in what seems like a long time they have been made to wait. australia have won a sixth women's t20 world cup, beating south africa in the final by 19 runs in cape town and asa in the final by 19 runs in cape town and as a result maintaining their dominance in women's international cricket. a sold—out stadium with south africa on the verge of a first ever world title, their fans were

hoping for a huge upset against the defending champions. it took australia just two balls to find the first boundary before they struck. as gardiner made some headway but australia couldn't get into the swing of things. 0nly beth millie dug in, herside alive swing of things. 0nly beth millie dug in, her side alive as those around herfell. australia said dug in, her side alive as those around her fell. australia said to south africa a chase of all, 157 victory, this game on. they got off to a sluggish start before laura started to claw her side back into the game. perhaps it was the pressure, but things were not clicking. she continued to shine, her 50 giving the crowd hope, but a slow run rate was leaving them with too much to do. when she walked, australia sensed the six title was in touching distance. valiant effort from south africa, but the day and trophy belonged to the girls in gold. thejuggernaut trophy belonged to the girls in gold. the juggernaut that is australian cricket continues to dominate women's game, but the
