The Football Association "let down" women's football in the past, chief executive Martin Glenn has said.

The FA banned women's football from being played at Football League grounds in 1921 and did not take the sport back under its jurisdiction until 1993.

Glenn said: "We even banned it in its pomp and we were slow to introduce it. We are addressing these failings."

A Norweigan hockey match lasted over EIGHT and a half hours.

After 217 minutes and 14 seconds of play, the Storhamar Dragons finally beat Sparta Warriors in the Norwegian League play-offs at 02:32 local time. Not ideal on a school night.

Kayleigh Millen: Without a doubt, my team would miss Romelu Lukaku. He bangs in so many goals - delighted it looks like he is sticking around. 

James (Fysh) Price: It's been shown after the last few seasons that when Santi Cazorla gets injured the wheels fall off at Arsenal. 

Lewis Hobson: Chris Wood without a doubt, without him where do the Leeds goals come from? And we have to play Doukara up top *shivers*.

And the feel-good story of the day goes to... Kazuyoshi Miura, who has become the first 50-year-old player to score in the Japanese league.

His goal for Yokohoma FC at 50 years and 14 days broke his own record.

"I had the vibes of a goal. I was just trying to stay positive," he said.

Fifa couldn't confirm if Miura is the oldest goalscorer in professional football.

Barcelona's history-making win over PSG in the Champions League has taken another dramatic twist.

The Spanish champions were 5-3 down on aggregate in the 88th minute, but scored three goals in the final seven minutes in one of the greatest European games EVER.  

A petition, external has been set up calling for the game to be replayed, and it's already got over 200,000 signatures.

But wait... there's more. The petition was set up by a Real Madrid fan, who clearly wants to avoid Barca in the quarter-finals.

Sacked Norwich City manager, Alex Neil, has spoken.

“It has been an honour and a privilege to have had the opportunity to manage Norwich City Football Club," read his statement.

The experience I have gained at Norwich City will be invaluable to me and I look forward to my next challenge in the game."

Welcome to the 2017 Cheltenham Festival.

In terms of quality, there are two ways in which to look at this year's four-day jump racing extravaganza, which starts on Tuesday.

On the one hand, it's been badly hit by a list of star absentees, probably unprecedented in length, but on the other it will, of course, present an opportunity for others to start their upward trajectory.

None of last season's 'Big Four' championship winners are back to defend their titles.

This year, the already upwardly curving profiles of Altior (Arkle Trophy) and Douvan (Queen Mother Champion Chase) are tipped to soar further.
