🟥 Grit Over Glamour at the Stadium of Light
There are grounds where three points carry more weight than the arithmetic suggests, and Sunderland away has been one of those all season. To win there, 1-0, against the last unbeaten home side in the league mattered.

🙏 RIP John Virgo
The voice that guided snooker home
John Virgo has died, and with him goes a voice that never talked down to the game or dressed it up. He understood snooker because he had lived it, the long nights, the lonely practice tables, the thin line between nerve and noise.

🟥 Liverpool’s roundtable video was calm, polished, and tightly controlled.

Phil Taylor remains the greatest darts player to ever live, and it's not even up for debate, at least not yet. It's settled by time, by domination, by seasons that bent the sport around one man’s will.

🇫🇷 Jérémy Jacquet - A bet on tomorrow, paid for today
I first saw Jacquet when France reached the U19 European final in 2024. He stood above every other defender there, commanding, fearless, visibly born to play on the front foot.
