High Performance has now had more than 250 MILLION listens/views. 🤯
Just wanted to say thanks to our ever-growing, always amazing global audience. ❤️
Love you all 🙌
I’ll never forget the text from Simon telling us the worst news you can imagine. 3 years later, SO pleased to see him back fronting football. A symbolic, significant night and I’m sure nobody is prouder than Ethan watching at home, and Gemma watching over him. Wonderful xxxxx
I’m really uneasy with EasyJet reportedly paying its shareholders £174m in dividends, and then days later, using the Government job retention scheme to pay its staff...
Joe Cole and his wife have set up a charity. 300k raised.
- Bought 50 3D printers to print thousands of medical visors for frontline NHS staff.
- Sent nutritious food direct to hospital staff.
- providing childcare to NHS staff
- offering therapy to NHS staff
What a guy 👏👏
This might be my favourite part from our chat with
@persie_official
. The advice he gave to his 13 yr old son to take control - and the reaction he got! Relevant to all of us.
The oldest member of our family died this morning.
If you’re out for a Friday drink at lunch, or with mates tonight - I’d love you to raise a glass for Uncle Ken.
He was born in 1915 - when the life expectancy was 52.
He managed double that.
104. 👏❤️
Watford fans unveiled this banner at the King Power...and their late owners son Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha immediately made sure all food and drink served at half time to them was free. Classy guy, classy club. 👏👏
A little something on your commute from
@DandC
to put your own daily struggles in perspective...look at the little girl poolside as he hits the water...
Overwhelming reaction to this interview. Thanks to
@themichaelowen
for his disarming honesty tonight. Give this 9 minutes of your evening and a share. Thanks🙌
2 men who, over the years, have formed teams designed to beat Liverpool week in, week out.
Yet, here they are, after all those years of rivalry, sitting in the studio, in awe of YNWA ringing out. Have a listen.
Our friend & colleague Glenn Hoddle was taken seriously ill at the BT Sport studio this morning.
For that reason there will be no
@btsportscore
- but we will be live as usual for the 5.30 ko at Leicester.
Everyone of us is right with you Glenn, sending love & strength ❤️
Where’s the compassion for
@Cristiano
? He’s had a personal trauma recently. Why can’t we see this behaviour doesn’t fit the pattern of his career? He looks like he’s hurting & all people want to do is add to the pain.
It’s not about excusing his behaviour, but understanding it.
Mbappe getting lots of ❤️❤️ for donating his match fees to charity.
It might not fit some people’s agendas, but England players having been doing that for over a decade 👍🏻
Just a word of thanks to the people who helped my Mum and Dad at the game last night. Both in their 70’s, both worries for their safety, and in my Mum’s words “all these wonderful young Liverpool supporters really looked after this old lady”.
I’m hugely grateful. ❤️
Just weeks ago I spoke to Murray Walker on the phone. He was in a residential home, hating getting older. However, I could hear the sparkle and pride in his voice when we spoke about
@LewisHamilton
’s 7th title.
Murray set the standard. I’m honoured to call him a friend. RIP ❤️
For years we were told exercise was good for us, but we chose to sit on the sofa and watch a quiz.
Now we’re told to sit on the sofa and watch a quiz, we seem to have become a nation of dog walkers, ramblers, runners, cyclists, and out door enthusiasts...
How much of a coward is that person (won’t say fan) who attacked Jack Grealish? A sucker-punch, then knowing the players will be too professional to retaliate. He needs banning from every ground, for life, publicly named & shamed, and then prosecuted for assault. Disgraceful.
LOVE this kind of thing. Zero complacency. Unbeaten at Anfield in THREE years...yet still James Milner is driving home the right messages...

I have a feeling this

result may get overturned. Looking at the sporting regs, it’s hard to say protocol was followed, it’s hard to argue it’s a fair finish…interesting few hours ahead…
30 squats get you a free train ticket in Russia. LOVE it. Let’s instigate this across the UK...and bingo...obesity crisis in reverse. Even
@piersmorgan
will approve...
SO pleased for Wales.
Make no mistake, this is the legacy of Gary Speed who revolutionised the Welsh approach and professionalism.
A decade ago they were 117th in the world.
Now 17th and into the knockout stages in back to back tournaments.
Here’s a game of spot the difference. 1)

‘s pic of me & my dad 2) the actual picture. Socially distant, no physical contact & was bringing them food. Been a long month of no contact, my mum worked for the NHS her whole career so she was ruthless about distance. Thanks
The sexism that spews out on social media whenever a female pundit appears on TV is a disgrace. Tonight on
#PLTonight
, with
@rach_brown1
we call it out. Any form of discrimination is wrong...football is for everyone, it should be empowering our daughters as well as our sons ❤️⚽️
I hate this narrative that Arsenal bottled it. They have pushed one of the PL’s greatest ever teams all the way, and done it with a young coach and young players who finished 5th last season. It’s nothing but a success. They fell short, they’ll be stronger for it
When Seb was born, people kept saying ‘what does it feel like having a son?’
I struggled to answer it really.
From now on, my answer is this video of Jordan Henderson and his Dad...
Heartbreaking news that
#F2
driver Antoine Hubert was killed at Spa this afternoon. He was just 22, a huge talent and real racer. Utterly tragic.
**Please consider his family and avoid posting videos and photos of the crash** ❤️
Just seen this. Disbelief.
The precise point of Remembtance Sunday is that it’s about the exact opposite of glorifying war. It’s to pause to remember both military personnel and civilians - and the horrors they faced.
Cambridge need to increase their standards for intellect...
The latest news on Glenn is that he is responding well. Any more news & will let you know. Thanks for the care & kind words the last 24 hours.
Right, off for a day with the family. Lots of hugs already...lots still to come!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As someone who comes from a farming family, and having married a lady who also has many farmers in the family. I honestly think Clarkson’s Farm is brilliant for revealing the truth about our battered, under-appreciated and dedicated nation of incredible farmers.
Wonderful show.
Short Gareth Southgate story ahead of the biggest game of his management career tonight...
Back in 2007 I was working on Sportsround on CBBC. I spent my time interviewing all kinds of sports people, plenty of whom were footballers.
Alternative (less catchy) headline “25 years ago Sir Kier Starmer was working as a human rights lawyer, and he bought a small patch of land. Despite the remarkable boom in land prices & developments all around, he has kept it as green belt”.
When I started F1 they said “stick to CBBC”
When I started football they said “stick to F1”
When I started my podcast they said “stick to football”
When I started my production company they said “stick to presenting”.
Just. Let. Us. Hear. Them.
- It shows the demands of the job.
- Humanises people too often vilified.
- Offers knowledge to educate
people’s opinion
- Explains decisions in real time.
- The tech exists
- They have nothing to hide
Leicester are a club we should all be celebrating.
The culture spread from their wonderful late chairman downwards.
Fans connected to the club, players connected to the fans. As it should be.
A year ago this weekend it was their darkest day, tonight is a fitting tribute ❤️❤️
10 away games without a win for Manchester United. Their worst run since 1989.
Tonight, they started with an older team than AZ Alkmaar, costing £249m to put together.
They didn’t manage a shot on target.
Both the pundits I am with think both Arsenal and Man City should have had penalties.
The ref gave neither in real time, but VAR officials decided to intervene in one of them.
Inconsistency is killing a perfectly fine system…the technology is being let down…
Money dominates the game they say. You can’t be successful without spending they say.
Spurs and Ajax will contest a Champions League semi-final having made a profit of £2.5m on transfers between them in the past 2 years.
You are about to watch a recovery run, from
@BenG0dfrey
, in the 80th minute. THIS is the unseen effort, desire and determination that will take us to the Premier League...👏
20 years ago right now my life was about to change.
I put on my Vans trainers, Carhartt trousers, Stussy T-Shirt and beads. Wax went into the hair. Fahrenheit was liberally applied and I entered Liquid nightclub for a DJ Luck and MC Neat gig.
By midnight I’dmet my future wife
You do realise these are human being yeah? With emotions, loved ones, talents, ambitions, dreams - and stories of horror we can only imagine. I think this is tasteless...
I am 100% with Dan Snow on this. What we voted for is now not what is being offered. I feel lied to, I feel a mug for falling for it...we must, as a nation, demand a second vote before we stumble into something that will hit us and our kids hard.
For little Arthur. May he rest in peace, may those responsible never know freedom again, and may the lessons for the authorities never be forgotten. ❤️
The below video of Westy over the weekend and was met with nasty trolls getting a thrill from online abuse.
Westy had the last laugh.
They didn’t realise this passionate, kind-hearted guy was raising money for
@macmillancancer
. The fundraiser has gone CRAZY! Currently 8000%…
Burnley Football Club can confirm it has made an application to the Premier League for the postponement of Tuesday night’s match at home to Watford.

Yesterday I took a young friend to the F1. She’s been told she’s terminally ill.❤️
Today It is the funeral of one our very best friends. She was WONDERFUL...and taken in her 30’s.😢
So if you’re petty/vindictive/aggressive/divisive/negative...go elsewhere. Life’s too short🖕

Huge day for United. A massive club , back where they belong today. In a Final, with a manager who has transformed the club, and fans ready to embrace the good times again.
Hope you all travel safely from Newcastle 👍
Madrid’s treatment of
@GarethBale11
is as baffling as it is unfair. No doubt life there’s amazing, & what a club to play for.
However, he’s done it, he’s experienced ungratefulness in the extreme...if I were him I’d join a club that appreciates 102 gls & 65 assists in 231 games
Tyson is my Sports Personality Of The Year. Not just for heart, desire, talent & bravery of this fight...but for what he’s done for everyone struggling with their mental health.
He’s shown you CAN battle back from depression, you CAN be suicidal and recover. A true inspiration.
This is Jordan. Just met him on the train to London...and today is a big day for him.
He starts a new job as a Graphic Designer, and has been inspired to ignore the naysayers, critics and negative messages...by listening to the High Performance Podcast.
I love little moments…
1/3. Today, whilst watching the game from our presenting position, I was drawn to a spectator with a message on his back. I did a bit of research, & unexpectedly found myself shedding a little tear in the middle of an FA Cup semi-final! I’ve worked out who the gentleman was, and
Most times I’ve seen ‘it has nothing to do with Arsenal’ this past few days, it’s been followed by comment or criticism that makes me think it has everything to do with Arsenal.
This is so moving. A real goosebumps moment.
This is Shane MacGowan’s funeral. More funerals should have this energy, where we celebrate the miracle of life.
What an amazing video.
Not exactly a life-changing story, but hopefully a little life-affirming. To Gareth and every player pulling on the jersey tonight...we are a nation who believe, and nation who have your backs
GOOD LUCK!!! 👍🏻⚽️
