I was worried the finale of Celebrity Traitors would be an anticlimax; instead it was one of the greatest pieces of television Iâve ever seen. Utterly, utterly magnificent. Not sure anything that appears in that big black box at the far side of my living room will be as great again. Holy shit.

Not to downplay the much bigger issues but, from what I've seen in the last couple of hours outside Villa Park, the proliferation of YouTubers and influencers has given the police as much trouble as anything else.

What was confirmed at Anfield last night is that when fit and together, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai is Liverpoolâs best midfield combination, and pretty much the best midfield in the Premier League. Three superb footballers who complement each other superbly.

Mac Allister sinks Real Madrid to ruin Alexander-Arnoldâs return to Liverpool
Ultimately it was not about who was back at Anfield but what was back. The Liverpool of Arne Slotâs title-winning debut season was the answer and, for the second November in succession, Real Madrid did not have one of their own. Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring in last seasonâs 2-0 defeat of the Spanish giants â though giant is not an accurate description of their latest performance on Merseyside â and settled the reunion of the European heavyweights as Liverpool, all controlled aggression and clear intent, ignited their Champions League campaign and quite possibly their season. Another clean sheet and set-piece goal added to Slotâs satisfaction on a raucous, reaffirming night at Anfield. Xabi Alonsoâs team were a distant second all night. Trent Alexander-Arnold, his mural near Anfield vandalised earlier in the day, entered in the 81st minute to a chorus of boos. Continue reading...

India rejoice in first Womenâs World Cup triumph as South Africa fall short
* Final: India, 298-7, beat South Africa, 246, by 52 runs * Shafali and Deepti shine for hosts in Navi Mumbai At last, 50 years on from their debut on the world stage, Indiaâs dream came true: a maiden World Cup win, in front of a deafening full house in Navi Mumbai, as they defeated South Africa by 52 runs. Laura Wolvaardt struck a magnificent century, going back-to-back after her winning effort in the semi-final, but while she finished the tournament with a run-tally of 571 â the most by any woman in a World Cup â the ultimate prize belonged to India.

Liverpoolâs best display of the season. Better, and very good, in every department, midfield especially. Title-winning three back together and showed their class. Where that leaves Florian Wirtz, who knows, but thatâs for another day. For now take the win - and a clean sheet. Rare treats, indeed.

Not in this list so let me stake a claim on their behalf - Ross & Rachel. Easy to knock anything to do with Friends but the writing and acting around them, from start to finish, was superb; funny, heartbreaking ⊠subtle. Also led to two of the best scenes of the 90s; the prom video and the break-up.
