A real pleasure to speak to the brilliant Paula Blasi and her DS Cherie Pridham about her stunning wins at La Vuelta and Amstel Gold and her rapid rise from promising 800m runner to one of the world's best riders (thanks in part to her car breaking down)

Just hoping Jon Champion heard Benítez's pronunciation of Araujo in the half-time analysis and goes with that instead of whatever that interpretation was in the first half
Possibly the most feeble, pointless response imaginable from the Portuguese FA. Like being suspended from school during the summer holidays
Cristiano Ronaldo will be available for selection for Portugal’s next games despite being handed a 30-day suspension after falling out with the head coach | ✍️ @CharDuncker thetimes.com/sport/football/…
Putting the brakes on! Lol!
Parking should be straightforward, not another everyday hassle.
Today we’re putting the brakes on rip-off parking charges - meaning drivers get a fairer deal, protections from being unfairly charged, and confidence that private parking providers are held to a higher standard.
It's yet another step forward in this government’s plan to take the stress out of everyday life and ease the pressure on people's pockets.

Hundreds of years ago, a man invented this magnificent musical instrument. Then, another man composed this wondrous piece of music. And now, here I am, witnessing this brilliant performance. Life is truly a miracle.
On fire 😂 Assuming the person tweeting this didn't see the game... yes Barcola set up the winner but otherwise was really poor. Missed a one on one first half, then butchered a 3 on 2 and a 3 on 1 in the second. Far too hesitant and indecisive at key moments.

3 golds for Anna Morris this week as her & Erin Boothman win the Madison, to add to Omnium & TP golds 🌈🌈🌈
I make that the first time an endurance female rider has won the 3 Olympic events at track Worlds (since the Madison was introduced in 2017)

A shame for the Red Roses, but great result for women's rugby

Think everyone would understand and support the Lions if they didn't want to take the field against La Rochelle tomorrow. That they are going to is an incredible show of strength and a fantastic gesture to Hyron Andrews
Incredible get to break that news tbf, just shows the value of contacts
Katie Zacharia: "I had the opportunity to do what I don't think many press secretaries in the past have done, which is to break news on staff. I really am grateful to President Trump to trusting me to break that news, and I do believe that really shifted the press conference and also gave me a platform to be able to deal with hard news for him in the future."
Horrendous news. Thoughts go out to his team-mates who have a game tomorrow, and his poor family.
LIONS SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF STAR LOCK
With broken hearts, we mourn Hyron Andrews, a cherished member of our Lions family. Our thoughts are with Maiglin, Hendrix, Emerson and the entire Andrews family.
Rest in peace, Hyron. ❤️

Horrified by what happened to our dear friend Heidi Levine while she was on assignment today.
“They just kept kicking me and kicking me,” she said.

The fixture list has been very John Textor Kerfuffle-adjacent for Palace this week. Forest on Sunday and now Lyon tonight.
