The gifs that keep on giving: Rafa Benítez, knockouts and diving

Thanks for all your suggestions on last week's blog. Here are a few highlights from this week.

Kicks to the face

Vitor Belfort knocked out his opponent in the first round with his kick, while Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off in the last game of Real Madrid's season for his effort.

Is this the tamest ice hockey fight of all time?

Knee high

Which is worse: a knee to the face or this?

Reassessing Rafa

Who cares whether Chelsea fans like Rafael Benítez or not. The real news from the Europa League final was the manager's new-found fondness for fondling hair. He's nearly as bad as Dani Alves.

The height of rudeness

Even if you are not au fait with the concept of the high-five, leaving a line of mascots hanging is unacceptable.

Slip sliding away

An earth-shattering home run.

The Sergio Busquets of basketball

On the subject of Barcelona, who is Alex Song trying to kid?

Never in doubt
