Top Four
- James Ward once again produced Davis Cup heroics, staging a fabulous comeback to beat John Isner is a mammoth 5 setter in Glasgow and, along with Andy Murray, set Team GB up for a 3-1 victory and a place in the quarter finals
- KJT: we just can’t get enough of Britain’s brightest athletics talent, who on Friday won Pentathlon gold at the European Indoors, breaking the British record in the process and coming within a whisker of a world record too
- 60m sprint: gold for Richard Kilty and a silver for Dina Asher-Smith at the European Indoors – Asher-Smith was the first British woman to win a medal in this event for 30 years
- Triathlon is back as the ITU World Triathlon Series kicked off in Dubai over the weekend – although Alistair Brownlee, Helen Jenkins and Non Stanford were notable absentees.

- Spitting will earn you a ban from football, as Pappis Cisse and Jonny Evans have found out.
