This Auger-Aliassime vs Djokovic match at #Wimbledon is just incredible viewing. Getting on for 5hrs long, approaching 11pm & yet still impossible to pick a winner.

Being English, this feels completely alien to me & is very much a first but….C’mon You Aussies! #USAAUS #WC2026

Martin Brundle deserves a pay rise for doing his #SkySportsF1 grid walk at the #MonacoGP, it’s excruciating to watch & guaranteed car crash TV before an engine has even been fired up. Pathetic, entitled celebrities lapping up free hospitality but then refusing to speak. #F1

Can’t believe the #BBC has famous curling commentator Steve Cram as the lead man on its #LondonMarathon coverage - surely this is more evidence of the BBC dumbing down its sports coverage, as what does he know about non ice based sports, let alone elite running? #TheJarrowArrow

The ageing Ed Baldwin in the new season of #ForAllMankind is a dead ringer for Johnny Knoxville’s Bad Grandpa character both in terms of looks & mannerisms

@NCL_RedBulls “A signing a day keeps Championship rugby far, far away”. This is genuinely getting very exciting now - just a fly-half now, please, as that seems the only area we’ve yet to strengthen.

@bushontheradio A hen’s cluck for the swear word that rhymes and starts with F….

Really hoping that Ollie Bearman can hang on and grab a fine podium finish here #F1 #MexicoGP

@CharlieFelix So assume this was never “the plan” & he didn’t see it coming, which is a shameful way to treat the guy who kept the lights on. So 1) why not make the changes before the league started? & 2) to what extent is today’s announcement a massive over-reaction to the Saracens defeat?

@mikedaviswins Genuine question - who is making all of the money from the beer being sold? Stopping selling it (or at least restricting the volume sold) would likely have a massive effect on improving fan behaviour but I guess money talks….

At the big, beautiful #RyderCup2025, Trump announced a 50% tariff on the points won by #TeamEurope this morning, which moves the latest score to USA 2.5 EUR 1.5. The USA’s slow start was all Sleepy Joe Biden’s fault as Trump promises to make Make American Golf Great Again (MAGGA)

Must be more than a little frustrating for Sean Longstaff & Jack Grealish to have swapped sitting on the bench for Newcastle Utd and Man City to doing exactly the same for Leeds Utd and Everton respectively. #LeedsEverton #LEEEVE

[Antony Lupton @lumpster]

@RugbyInsideLine Still surprised that there wasn’t a signing or two to coincide with the deal announcement….but perhaps that was deliberate to manage fans’ expectations. But it seems bizarre to announce the very exciting Benitez Cruz signing on Monday & then the Red Bull acquisition on Tuesday.

@rugbyontnt Andy Farrell & Dan Sheehan

@YorkshireCCC It’s difficult to know from these announcements whether it is players having had enough and jumping ship from a club in crisis vs. a strategy of the club having a targeted clear-out of players with new signings lined up to hopefully improve performances moving forward. Any clues?

[Antony Lupton @lumpster]

@RugbyCollective Would be one hell of a statement signing for the Newcastle Red Bulls to announce the start of a new era for the club. A long shot, I know, but here’s hoping…..

[Antony Lupton @lumpster]

@RugbyInsideLine The US commentator (who is typically annoying) just described Van Poortvliet as “the veteran scrum half”…..at the ripe old age of 24!

[Antony Lupton @lumpster]

@SkySportsF1 Let’s be clear, he wasn’t sacked because of the historic allegations against him - he was sacked because RB is now on a downward slide, has a difficult car, is no longer winning & is in danger of losing the sole driver who can drive the car & get close to making it competitive.
