Social Zone: Newcastle loss haunts Saint-Maximin, while the Wright family sets a unique record
A Twitter exchange rubbed salt into Allan Saint-Maximin's wounds following the Cambridge loss, while Ian Wright was made a proud grandad after his family set a new record in the FA Cup.
SOCCER: It was the FA Cup weekend, and we were treated to some upsets. As if losing to Cambridge wasn't bad enough for Newcastle fans, their misery was worsened by this statistic. Ouch.
Cambridge United have beaten as many Premier League sides as Newcastle United have this season.

SOCCER: Between the trio of Ian Wright, Shaun Wright-Phillips and now D'Margio Wright-Phillips, they have featured in the FA Cup in the 1980's, 1990's, 2000's, 2010's and 2020's - a proud family moment.
D'Margio Wright-Phillips, son of Shaun and grandson of @IanWright0, is making his professional debut today.

CRICKET: James Anderson showed nerves of steel in the final over of the fourth Test. Never in doubt.
I could see the people going 'Oh my God, it's Jimmy Anderson, we're definitely losing'

I walked out to bat, took guard and they were going 'we're definitely losing now!'
I blocked out the final over, walked back to the pavilion and said 'what were you worried about?' pic.twitter.com/eGgNZY62nD
