Tough to beat watching Stephen Bunting win live in the flesh last night, but this isn't half bad. A big thanks once again to the great sports team @MetroUK for their support and congrats to the other winners/nominees.

@LoreBetto Hi Lorenzo, could you follow me back so I can DM you. Thanks!

'Might' was the key word here... Remarkable to not have your best stuff on Sat or Sun and still get it done. Gusty, gusty performance

Only Gian van Veen and Like Littler beat that version of Gary Anderson tonight - probably explains why they're both in the final. Should be an absolute corker tomorrow.

It is conceivable that Anthony Joshua may decide never to fight again. And that is okay. Comment: independent.co.uk/sport/boxing/a…

Thanks Michael van Gerwen for talking so openly about his painful year in which he dealt with divorce from his wife, his father's ravaging cancer, intense scrutiny from the Dutch media and loss of form. He still believes he can win the world championships theguardian.com/sport/2025/dec…

Viktor Gyokeres returned off the bench on Sunday, but might Mikel Merino's impressive and versatile performances up front have given Mikel Arteta food for thought? A look at the stats: metro.co.uk/2025/12/02/vik…

Who better to talk about Moises Caicedo than a man who has performed that same, crucial role better than most? Claude Makelele on what he sees in the #CFC midfielder, where he can improve, and his Ballon d'Or potential... metro.co.uk/2025/11/04/cla…
