Three games from their first major trophy and in with a shout for Europe but for a club their size, these moments are fleetingThe first time Bournemouth played in an FA Cup quarter‑final was 1957 when they faced Manchester United. They were still called Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic in those days and played in the Third Division (South). They had put out Wolves and Tottenham in the previous two rounds, the excitement enticing a record crowd of 28,799 to Dean Court to see them play Matt Busby’s side.The United centre-half Mark Jones was carried off early on and, nine years before the introduction of substitutes, Bournemouth took the lead against the 10 men, Brian Bedford nudging in after Ray Wood had flapped at a corner. Two Johnny Berry goals, the second a penalty, in the space of five second‑half minutes, though, saw United through. They went on to lose to Aston Villa in the final, when Peter McParland fractured Wood’s cheekbone after six minutes, forcing the centre-half Jackie...

3 d. ago Defiant Djokovic on verge of making more history against teenage star

Veteran proving his resilience again but faces test against Jakub Mensik if he is to become third man to win 100 titlesNovak Djokovic departed Indian Wells two weeks ago with serious concerns. Aside from his one encouraging result this year, a supreme performance in his Australian Open quarter-final win over Carlos Alcaraz, the first few months of his 38th year had been grim.

7 d. ago It’s war and peace with Donald and Pete – and the worst group chat the world has ever seen | Marina Hyde

We absolutely won’t tolerate leaks, they said before looping in a journalist to top secret war plans. Feel safe? Me neitherOnce again, we find ourselves having an anguished debate about mobile phones and online safety, in this case asking: should we ban the devices for US national security advisers under the age of 60? Do you know what your national security adviser is doing on his device? Is he using it to stay in touch with other guys in the big-man-osphere to talk about bombing Hooters? Or did he maybe add the editor-in-chief of a leading general interest magazine to a Signal group in the crucial hours running up to a highly sensitive US military operation in Yemen, seemingly committing so many alleged crimes that he should have a full-body orange jumpsuit tattooed on him for ever?By now, you will have caught up with the tale of one of the most idiotic breaches of security imaginable – executed, regrettably, by the actual US national security adviser. Mike Waltz seems to have bee...
