Classic YouTube | Anglo-Italian Cup classics, a minor meltdown and the best catch ever?

Also featuring yacht versus supertanker, a flying squirrel attack and what Arsenal can expect from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

1) Is Angelo Mathews's catch for Sri Lanka in their T20 match against Australia the best outfield effort of all time? Judge for yourself.

2) What can Arsenal expect from new signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain? Well, his genes are pretty good, as dad Mark shows off on The Sooty Show.

3) We're pining for the days of the Anglo-Italian Cup. When Brentford could go to Ascoli and win 3-1, when West Brom and Padova could provide a seven-goal Hawthorns thriller, when Oxford v Swindon could be a European encounter and when Sutton United could go to Italy and see off Chieti to claim the 1979 (admittedly, semi-pro) title.

4) Minor league baseball meltdown of the week: Stubby Clapp, take a bow.

5) Brilliance from the NRL this week as Gold Coast's Dave Mead pulls off this staggering pick-up to score against Cronulla.

6) And off to Cowes Week, where yacht versus supertanker can have only one winner.

Our favourites from last week's blog

1) More footballing sell-outs ? Ruud Gullit mugging away from the front seat of his 1989 Lancia Y10; the Alan Hansen Bull Boys shoes ad from the 1990s; John Barnes flogging Lucozade Sport; ET revealing his Hibs association in a BT ad; Peter Schmeichel bringing home the bacon; Pat Jennings kitted out as an oil filter for Unipart; and the Honey Monster doing a job for Kevin Keegan.

2) Hot Spot confirms that, yes, Mohammad Sami has been hit in the crackers. Thanks Hot Spot.

3) This is what you want from a football president.

4) The whole of his year's Le Mans 24-hours, conveniently compressed into less than 1% of that time.

5) Watch out: flying squirrel attack!

6) Real Madrid take on China's kids. All 109 of them.
