Well after 102 starts and 15 wins, I have run my last race. I went out on a winning note, which was always my plan. What a career, and all the love and affection from so many. My thanks especially goes to the Pat Morris team, whom now I can enjoy my retirement. @SkySportsRacing

You can’t write these decisions
Quick update on Pink Eyed Pedro, thanks for everyone’s messages, he’ll now have the great retirement he deserves.
He’s been a superstar and given us some of the best days we’ve had in racing, memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you Pedro.
There's got to be at least a 3 timer for the Skeltons today at Sandown...
Made You Blush, Doyen Quest and Thistle Ask would be my 3...
In other news I'm tidying up my garden today - peak excitement! 😂
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma on exclusives:
“We’ll take a data-driven approach and a strategic-driven approach, and then we’ll look at our principles and we’ll make some calls...I want to make the right decision, not the fastest decision."

That was the craziest 5 minutes of #ImACeleb in 25 years. I absolutely love the drama of live TV but David and Jimmy are EMBARRASSING themselves. To have Ant & Dec, the unbiased hosts, telling you you’re chatting shit? Pathetic. David is just a massive high school bully
@BBCMOTD What do you expect? You butcher and butcher it and then no one wants to watch it anymore. It's very simple, put football people at the front of it and talk about football none of this other nonsense. Suppose that's too easy in 2026 but you're afraid to hurt the profits.
An incredible 52-year journey comes to an end.
Following extensive consideration, BBC Sport has made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Football Focus at the end of this season.
First broadcast in 1974, Football Focus is a testament to the brilliant team who have worked on it over the years and, of course, the audience. The programme has been a staple of the BBC’s football coverage for decades, providing fans with interviews, analysis and stories from across the game ahead of the weekend’s fixtures. But changing audience behaviours mean fans are now increasingly consuming football content in different ways and we need to respond appropriately as we face difficult decisions around how the licence fee is spent.
Fans are accessing discussion, highlights, analysis and news through digital platforms and on-demand viewing and as viewing habits continue to evolve, it is right that BBC Sport adapts how it brings football coverage to the widest audiences across television, radio, online and to its extensive social platforms.
BBC Sport boasts a strong football rights portfolio and is set to significantly expand its digital output this year growing content across BBC platforms, as well as a bold new slate of exclusive shows on YouTube. Featuring fresh formats, big personalities and more frequent, always-on content tailored for digital audiences, the expansion will bring fans closer to the game than ever before delivering more high-quality, accessible and engaging football coverage at scale. We will release further details on these plans in the coming months.
@HonestUnited99@utdreport@lauriewhitwell Heaven will get more game time next season at CB. Martinez too injury prone. Shaw's done. Maguire getting on a bit. De ligt brilliant but never fit. Dalot good squad player as is mazraoui but we need more starting 11 defenders. I'd take sensesi too but I'd love VDV
@HonestUnited99@utdreport@lauriewhitwell We're lacking a real quick left sided defender who can play LB as well as CB. Be a smart signing and he'd only improve in our team.
@utdreport@lauriewhitwell The amount of fans that will jump on this is crazy.
Just because he goes on a few mazy runs…it covers up the fact he is an average overall defender.
