Rory 1st, Shane 2nd at Pebble Beach. Nice way to get excited for the new golf season! Particularly impressed with how McIlroy handled his Sunday and the back 9 to pull clear to win in particular. No pressure, pragmatic, decision making of when to attack and when to hold back. 👏

From Exeter to the Emirates, we got some great FA Cup stories this weekend, delighted to have been working on them for BBC sport. Holding on to that cup magic!

They are starting to board flights again, snow ploughs have been busy and the weather has also improved. Much clearer now.

Flying from Manchester airport this morning, for anyone needing info, they’ve just told us the airport and runways are now closed until 9am. No more flights being gated, they had previously been boarding flights.

From keyboard to tactics board: when journalists become football coaches 'Go back to journalism? Forget about it.' The Athletic speaks to three highly-rated coaches who worked as journalists in a previous career

An article I've been meaning to do all year - Kalle Karlsson (Sweden), Natalia Arroyo (Spain) and Mariana Cabral (Portugal) all used to report on football as newspaper journalists. Now they're rising football managers. I talked to them about what us journos get wrong:

Steven Bartlett sharing harmful health misinformation on Diary of CEO podcast Disproven health claims are accepted with little challenge by host on number one podcast, BBC investigation finds.

All I want for Christmas is for the online space to need to meet journalistic standards. Our media landscape has evolved, those same protections for people that broadcasters must meet, should also be applied to this space.

Matheus Cunha is an absolute joy to watch. His work for Wolves is phenomenal. #MOTD

That flicker of an eye from Guardiola to Postocoglu as he celebrated Spurs 4th goal was quite something. In a millisecond you could see the uncertainty. A remarkable win for Spurs, but this run is confounding for City.

Happy to be inside today 😆 Updates on Ireland v Fiji coming up on @5livesport

Excellent work! 👌
