Car bomb kills Russian General's death hampers cease fire Hopes begin to fade #NewsinHaikus

Just to be clear in terms of leagues announced it's 2 D1 Men's leagues 2 D1 Women's Leagues 1 D2 Men's league 2 D2 Women's Leagues 3 D3 Men's Leagues 2 D3 Women's Leagues. Yes I'm being generous to NISA. I do not know any other country that is even remotely this complicated #SoccerWarz

As an Australian (now in the US) I have to agree with @eurovangelists.com that it's definitely okay to receive Eurovision news at 4am

The most Leeds thing to do would be to fire Farke and appoint Allardyce. Go for the worst ever PL season

Ukraine urged to fall To sacrifice land for peace Zelenskiy says no #NewsinHaikus

Here's your Parliament Chart ahead of the Canadian election next week. public.flourish.studio/visualisatio... #Canada #Election #CanadaVotes

Leeds fans, don't give the Mail money, don't click that link

Less than a week away until Canada's election, here's the electoral map as it looks going into it. Quebec will be an interesting one to watch. #Election #Canada

Forecasts cut growth well down Recession probable now Trump tariffs still on #NewsinHaikus

Leeds has selected a new pope. No I won't stop making this joke.

Leeds go up again joy immense at elland road Drop concerns later #FootballinHaikus

Hegseth does it again Can't figure out signal app New head coming soon #NewsinHaikus

Pope dead Vatican says Ancient selection process Will pick next pontiff #NewsinHaikus

Got my Leeds United NHS heart BLM edition kit on, CHAMPIONS 20 on the back. Celebrate baby. #MOT

Seriously if I wasn't watching because I'm a Leeds fan I would have shut that off, absolutely unwatchable

AND IT WAS BY SHEFFIELD UNITED LOSING AHHH PERFECTION #MOT

LEEDS UNITED ARE PROMOTED!!!! MARCHING ON TOGETHER TO THE PREMIERSHIP! #MOT

"they're holding bottles of Champagne at Elland Road" - four minutes of stoppage time to go (and Sheffield United need to score twice in that time to deny it). #MOT

Yet again @eurovangelists.com continue to ignore that the shake is not a drink, it's a state of mind. The weirdness in the video is just Gojo's general weirdness.

I have never wanted Sheffield United to not win as much as I do now. #LUFC #MOT

Also Alfredo De Los Santos (USA) won the handcycle in 1:07:35. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Susannah Scaroni (USA) wins the women's wheelchair in 1:35:20 comfortable in the end 2 minutes ahead of Catherine Debrunner (SUI) #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

If Leeds score a fifth here I MIGHT allow myself to start believing #MOT #LEEvSTO

Women are now through 35k, slowing down but Scaroni (USA) is now opening a big lead, over a minute. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Marcel Hug (SUI) wins the men's wheelchair in 1:21:34. Cruising to victory today. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Meanwhile in Yorkshire, Leeds United go 3-0 up 20 minutes in. As a Leeds fan I know better than to think that's promotion sealed. #MOT

Hug (SUI) meanwhile has just crossed 35k. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Scaroni (USA) has opened up a bit of a lead at 30k in the women's wheelchair, she's 26 seconds ahead of Debrunner (SUI) with Schaar (SUI) 50 seconds further back, the field starting to spread out. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Prediction for Hug's finish time is probably a little over 1:20 lead women looking like around 1:30 #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Hug responded and through 20 miles he's now 3:11 clear #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

And Romanchuk (USA) is through 30k, which means he has closed the gap, shaved 20 seconds off, down to 2:20. But shaving 20 seconds every 5k won't be enough to even make it very close with only 12k to go. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Hug goes through 30k, the clock is now on to see if Romanchuk has closed the gap at all, he was 2:42 down at 25, feels like he might be, but he's running out of road. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Whole host of men's wheelchair now through 25k, seven minutes down on Hug (SUI) in front. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Jetze Plat (NED) comes through 25k a whopping five minutes behind Hug, he's third. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

The women's race on the other hand is VERY tight. Scaroni, Debrunner, Schaar and Rainbow Cooper all trading the lead, racing together. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics

Hug cruising at this point, going to be very hard to beat. #BostonMarathon #Paralympics
