Hey #efl. Any chance of announcing the kickoff time for the #Championship playoff final? There are thousands of people who need to make travel plans for a game a week on Saturday. It's farcical & a reflection of the contempt with which fans are treated #blades #sunderland

They were the embodiment of a team, all working together for a common purpose and goal in the promotion run and their Premier League season. However, they're only 2 points off the drop zone & this felt inevitable. Edwards is held in high esteem by the Luton fans and beyond.

Matt Richards was 12 when he met Adam Peaty at a swim clinic in 2015. Now the pair are joining forces as Richards invests in AP Race hoping to inspire younger swimmers just as he was inspired by Peaty.

ITIA - Polish tennis player Iga ลšwiฤ…tek accepts one-month suspension under Tennis Anti-Doping Programme ITIA - Polish tennis player Iga ลšwiฤ…tek accepts one-month suspension under Tennis Anti-Doping Programme

Trimetazidine (TMZ) again. Sun Yang, Kamila Valieva, 23 Chinese swimmers & now Iga Swiatek. One-month ban as ITIA find an over-the-counter medication was contaminated & the violation not intentional. Why is a professional athlete buying over-the-counter medication?

Man City just look so vulnerable when Spurs break. Tottenham win 4-0 at City who looked weary and quite bewildered. Liverpool have the chance to go eight points clear on Sunday before the teams meet next Sunday.
