    If you read our opening entry today you'd have seen a brief line from Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho following defeat at Chelsea last night.

    The former-Chelsea boss says he was heckled by some home fans and he responded by pointing three fingers - symbolising the number of titles he won at the club over two spells.

    "Until the moment they have a manager that wins four Premier Leagues for them, I'm the number one," Mourinho told reporters.

    "Until then, Judas is number one. They can call me what they want. I am a professional. I defend my club."

    Rowsell Shand looking forward to coaching challengepublished at 09:10 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2017

    Joanna Rowsell Shand quits international competition

    She won't be competing in international competition, but Joanna Rowsell Shand says she will still be cycling - but not in the format she is used to.

    She added: "I won't be stepping away from the cycling world completely and I’m enjoying doing some coaching work including setting up my own company, Rowsell Shand Coaching, and I’m also training for L'Etape du Tour in July which will be my longest bike ride ever.

    "Being more accustomed to racing for 4km, the challenge of riding 180km in mountainous terrain will be a long way from what I am used to but I am never one for shying away from a tough target.

    "I want to finish by wishing the Great Britain Cycling Team the very best of luck for this Olympic cycle."

    Better than Claude Makelele, the "most effective midfielder in Europe", "the best in the world".

    For a quick hit on who said what about the diminutive Frenchman, just press play.

    Joanna Rowsell Shand quits international competition

    Some more quotes from British cyclist Joanna Rowsell Shand, who has today announced her retirement from international cycling.

    She said: "I have enjoyed this fabulous career and the decision to step away has been the hardest I've ever had to make, but now is the time for me to move on.

    "I believe I have more to offer the world and I'm now looking forward to the next phase of my life and new challenges.

    "I want to thank the amazing team at British Cycling; from the world class team behind the team who work tirelessly to ensure we have the best preparation for events, to the very first youth coaches who talent spotted me back when I was 15. I couldn’t have done it without you!

    "Thank you to all my team mates past and present, the cycling clubs and teams I have been a part of, my brilliant sponsors, the amazing fans for their fantastic encouragement, and to my family for their incredible support throughout my career."

    A little more on something I mentioned a short while ago - the new rules limiting punters to buying four drinks at a time at the Cheltenham Festival.

    Ian Renton, a regional director for the Jockey Club, tells BBC Radio 5 live:  "We want to tell people that if you want to come here just to drink too much, you're not welcome. If you want to come here and drink as part of a wonderful day out, you won't notice anything different to what you've been doing previously."
