“We are back in the race after eleven games.” Huddersfield boss David Wagner after his team’s first win of the season. I wonder what race he was referring to?


“The fun thing is I still feel like there’s improvement to be had and that’s what I’m looking for.” World number one golfer Justin Rose reckons he can better after winning the Turkish Open - his fifth win in thirty-one tournaments. He was top-ten in lots of the others!

Maria Sharapova


“What’s challenging is when you’re a teenager and you have a few hundred dollars and you’ve got no sense of the future. You don’t know where you’re going to end up. You just have a dream. That’s a lot tougher than being 31 years old and having the opportunity to do whatever I want in my life.” Maria Sharapova puts a last sixteen loss into perspective.


“If there is a small one, there is usually a large one nearby and the groundstaff here have had ‘snake watch’ added to their list of responsibilities.” England cricket coach Trevor Bayliss talks a load of cobras during the second Test against Sri Lanka in Pallekele.


“The Super League will not happen. It is in a way a fiction now or a dream.” UEFA president Aleksander Ceferindenies categorically denies that a new elite European football league is in the advanced planning stage. We await news of the start date!


“Woakesy and I just said: ‘Well, if he’s not moving it then we’d have been useless on this, wouldn’t we?’” - Paceman Stuart Broad watched Jimmy Anderson’s toiling efforts from the side-lines in Sri Lanka. 18 of the home side’s wickets fell to spin!
