A bridge too VAR for the Premier League, plus Tel's heaven and hell keeps Spurs on edge … Guardian sport back page, Tuesday 12 May 2026 #tomorrowspaperstoday

Imagine breaking the two-hour mark at the London Marathon - or indeed any marathon - and not winning the race. That’s the world we’re suddenly in. Incredible from Sabastian Sawe (who looked fresh as a daisy at the finish) and Yomif Kejelcha (who looked like he’d been run over)
Amazon Web Services/AWS ads during the football feels like somewhat unfortunate timing. Not sure they’ll be getting too much new business from those tonight

Unbearably sad to hear news that @poporacle - Jon Kutner - has left us. A lovely, lovely man, with passion for UK chart music and chart data that could shame most claiming to be experts in the field. We already missed his Bedford quizzes, and will very much miss the man himself
Here’s a daft thing I wrote on him 15 years ago. His Pinky & Perky vinyl collection surely remains unsurpassed theguardian.com/music/musicb…
@GNRailUK Can we get a public explanation of how the northbound 0046 from STP seemingly vanished into thin air about 5 mins before it was due in? Was listed online but not on platform boards. It’s the third major lengthening of a late-night journey I’ve had in the past 11 days

Turns out it’s Warrington’s year. Absolutely made up for Luke Littler #PDCWorldChampionship

@GNRailUK On National Rail, searching for SDY > KGX returns today produces a diff price compared to a search for the same journey returning post-00.00 (ie the Mon 00:32). The higher price remains if you search for the latter then hit “view earlier trains” and take times pre-00.00

The dog poo bag at right-back for Spurs has been positionally sound, but the ease with which Liverpool are bypassing it speaks volumes about the club’s inconsistent season #TOTLIV

Ticketmaster think I’m a bot because I refreshed a handful of times, having opted against paying almost £500 per ticket to see Oasis and some exclusive Oasis-related exhibition. Because just swallowing those prices is the non-bot, non-abnormal behaviour

Not much from the news pages has raised a smile this week, but a rare national media outing for Llandwrog has. Had no idea at all that my Nan lived round the corner from Sain’s HQ theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

Doo-doo, doo-doo … doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo …
It’s minging in the Seine … so minging in the Seine … #Paris2024 #Triathlon #Olympics
Admittedly I don’t have my glasses on, but I swear to god that’s not the same horse they were showing us running on the water for 20-25 minutes #Olympics #OpeningCeremony

The problem with doing this on the Seine is it takes so much longer to fucking get anywhere than just making it from one side of a stadium to another. And I’m fairly positive that’s not even a real horse. Boring AND lazy #Olympics #OpeningCeremony

I’m going to stick my neck out and say there won’t be another riverboat-based Olympics #OpeningCeremony in the next 100 years
The way they’re broadcasting this is like when I’m on a bank of the Thames squinting trying to work out what the eff all the fuss is about something on the opposite bank of the Thames #OpeningCeremony

I don’t know what the fuck’s going on with this can-can, but this is probably an appropriate point to say I thought the Mr Bean thing at London 2012 was really, really, REALLY shit #OpeningCeremony

The bar is extremely high for a flame lighting at an opening ceremony. As well as the commentary of the lighting of said flame. Paris 2024, can you possibly top Helen Sharman at the 1991 World Student Games? youtu.be/7O2DlC_zxMs?si=uKIY…
