Who have been the best young players at #afcon2025 so far?? Here are some of my picks for @BBCSport bbc.co.uk/sport

ℹ️ Ernesto Valverde will step down as Athletic head coach at the end of the season. "It’s a decision which I’ve come to over time and which has been agreed with the club." "There are ten games left and we have a lot to gain." We'll give you a proper send-off soon, Gaffer!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. Anyone who watched Sunderland Til I Die, when Jason had a tough time, will be absolutely delighted for him, with the possible exception of Robert Sanchez, who refused to sit on the bench as substitute keeper after being dropped for Jason when at Brighton.

Here's the opening to our new BBC iPlayer special programme, Selling Sheffield Wednesday. It tells the story of #SWFC's fight for survival in the last 12 months, and looks at where one of English football's most famous clubs go from here.

If everyone in the world could make it their mission to be a tiny bit more like @dannykellywords, we'd all be better off. Between yourself and the doctors, this illness has no chance.

A special BBC World Service podcast to react to the astonishing AFCON news that Morocco are now champions. I'm joined by Sébastien Bassong, @MezahiMaher and Senegalese football journalist Babacar Diarra. @BBCSport @BBCMOTD @bbcworldservice shorturl.at/51OgI

@TheNaaKwaamah Can't afford a lawyer 😂

@JohnBennettBBC Most definitely 😂😂😂😂

Will I have to go to CAS to get my winning goal commentary reinstated?! 😉

Morocco are Afcon 2025 champions after Senegal were stripped of the title Former Cameroon defender Seb Bassong tells us it's a “mind blowing” decision Plus, @MezahiMaher and @BabsDiarra discuss the fallout and what could happen next 👇 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

This is the grounds on which CAF delivered the ruling. Chapter 35 is quite emphatic on what the Teranga Lions did and the repercussions for it. Huge.

😮

What has my report from Venezuela out today got to do with the national football team? Have a watch - and read the report here: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #manotengofe

Alongside @JohnBennettBBC yesterday on @BBCSport for #finalscore I thought it was a good, open game, with #bhafc creating the better chances in the first half. Had Chris Riggs goal stood after HT, then i think #safc go on to win it. #epl @5liveSport #SUNBHA

@LeicesterFanTV Really dislike this debate. Heard it a few times; "yeah but we'd have taken all this for the title win etc etc." It was all fantastic but football moves on. My son was born in 2016. I'd quite like him to be able to enjoy some enjoyable Leicester moments, not old clips on youtube.

Simple question: if someone had offered you this deal back in 2009, would you have taken it? Knowing everything that followed — the highs, the heartbreak, the chaos — would you still sign up for it? League One champions. Play-off heartbreak against Cardiff and Watford. Promotion to the Premier League as champions in 2014. Then the Greatest Escape in 2015. The impossible dream in 2016 — Premier League Champions. A Champions League quarter-final. A Europa League semi-final. Two trips to Wembley for the Community Shield, lifting it once. And finally, at the fifth attempt, the FA Cup. Then the reality check — relegation from the Premier League, an instant Championship title, and sadly another relegation. A true rollercoaster of incredible highs and painful lows. But if you could go back to 2009… would you take that deal?

Looking for a new league to follow this weekend? Can I recommend the crazy Polish top flight. Just 10 pts between the relegation zone and second place! The biggest club in the bottom 3! We talked about it on the latest "More than the Score" podcast. shorturl.at/rQm51

Is Formula 1 in danger of losing its pure racing spirit? Four Time World Champion Max Verstappen is set to compete in an endurance race during the season. Ford endurance driver Seb Priaulx and the BBC’s Matt Warwick explain the attraction 👇 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

Is Poland experiencing the most exciting football league season in history?!? Check out what the table looked like in January!! 😮👇 Hear more on the latest “More than the Score” podcast. With me, @Millar_Colin & @UEFAComPiotrK. Link to listen: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@AngusPaterson10 Unbelievable how they’ve turned it around. Although I saw them v Cov a few weeks back and they looked surprisingly solid. Enjoy Saturday! Should be a good game!!

@JohnBennettBBC I’ll be at Oxford on Saturday for 5 Live, the great escape is on!

This Championship relegation battle is going to be intense. Some big - former Premier League - clubs involved too. Will be some end to the season.

@NataliaBradford Awful!! 😢

@JohnBennettBBC It’s going to be a horrible end to the season 😬
