Episode 2264: McIlroy v Mickelson, Philly McMahon v Mayo
Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson are at daggers drawn over Saudi Arabia, in a row that appears to have rather more legs than the latest inane ramblings of Brooks Koepka and/or Bryson DeChambeau.
Phil uncensored! In an exclusive excerpt from @AlanShipnuck‘s juicy new biography, Mickelson lays bare his real feelings about the Saudi Golf League (“they’re scary motherfuckers”) and sheds new light on his grievances with the PGA Tour (“a dictatorship”). https://t.co/6yB5F7U66D pic.twitter.com/qCCePClVer

And this weekend seemed like a pretty weird time for ex-Dublin players to be taking to print to tell us about the various failings of Mayo football, but Murph has some thoughts on why sporting losses are not always down purely to moral failure.
Interesting read here from Philly ahead of today’s match ?
Philly McMahon: Truth is, Mayo were more concerned with being seen to stand up to you than sticking to what they were supposed to be doing

If City have won 19 out of 22, why does it suddenly feel like they are under pressure? And is the best yet to come from Harry Kane?
