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.
In the relegation zone
- The KP saga. Will he or won’t he? We’re bored of all the discussion about whether Pietersen will play for England again. Let’s look at what’s actually happening on the pitch. (And for the record, our money says he won’t).
- Stewarding: ineffectual at Villa Park as fans flooded the pitch not only after, but also shortly before, the final whistle in Aston Villa’s victory over local rivals West Brom is the FA Cup quarter final
- Spitting will earn you a ban from football, as Pappis Cisse and Jonny Evans have found out.
