Roughly 37,500 people will be finding it extra hard to get out of bed this morning as a result of their exertions across the 26.2 miles of Sunday's London Marathon. Paula Radcliffe was on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning admitting to still being overwhelmed by the crowd's reaction to her run and more than a little stiff.

Like every year, it was another colourful affair in the capital. So what we would like is for you to share your best pictures of yesterday's action, via Get Inspired, which will also help convert those of you who watched it on the telly to the cult of running.

How about this for a newspaper front page?

It's the Daily Echo in Bournemouth, who are clearly right behind the Cherries push for promotion.

Bournemouth play Bolton tonight. Victory and they will almost certainly be assured of promotion to the Premier League. Dean Court will be bouncing.

And while we're talking Newcastle, one of the club's most famous players has voiced his fears about the possibility of relegation.

Writing in today's The Sun, external, Alan Shearer said: "Have no doubts about it - Newcastle are now in real danger of going down.

"I didn't think so until Saturday but after that performance I can't actually say with any certainty that we will get another point this season."

Shearer defended under-fire boss John Carver, adding: "Why don't the Newcastle players start taking some responsibility? Because right now they are an embarrassment."

It's fair to say John Carver isn't having an easy time as Newcastle boss at the moment.

After a seventh straight defeat on Saturday - beaten 3-2 at home by Swansea - Carver has called for more protection after saying he was "abused" by fans.

"I am not going to stand out there and be abused during the game. The club has to do something about it," he said.

"I knew it wouldn't be easy. Sometimes it is quite difficult to stand in that technical area and be abused the way I was abused without any protection from the sidelines."

Newcastle are five points above the Premier League relegation zone with four games to go.

Many happy returns to Martin Chivers, a man blasting goals for Tottenham long before Harry Kane was even on the planet.

Chivers, 69 today, scored 118 goals in 278 games for Spurs between 1968 and 76 and hit 13 goals in 24 England games too.

Others from the sporting world celebrating birthdays include former Formula 1 driver Helmut Marko (72), one-time England ruby union prop Jeff Probyn (59), and Crystal Palace defender Martin Kelly (25).

Make one change to the PFA team...

L Higgins: PFA's omission of Swansea keeper Łukasz Fabianski, was mind boggling. Far more rounded keeper than De Gea.

Lance Fuller: Fonte for Cahill. It's rough that only one player from the Saints, who have the best defensive record is in there.

MJF: If you want Coutinho out because he only has 4 assists then Mignolet has to go in with his 13 clean sheet.

Emmanuel Ejii: I don't see the point of disputing the TOTY cos fellow pros voted these players.

Give us a break Emmanuel, we'd have nothing to talk about otherwise...

It's the morning after the night before for the 37,500 people who ran the London marathon yesterday and if you were one of them, I'd imagine those hammies a feeling a bit tight.

The headline-grabber on the day was none other than Paula Radcliffe, who ran the 26.2-mile course in two hours 36 minutes 55 seconds, less than three years after surgery on a serious foot injury. And the 41-year-old has been talking to the BBC this morning.

"I'm still trying to absorb the special memories from yesterday. (The Crowd) was like a wall of noise, emotion and encouragement. It did feel like they enabled me to run much faster yesterday than I thought I was capable of with the preparation that I had but at the same time was actually irrelevant because I just wanted to absorb as much as possible. I didn't think I'd be able to top the experiences of 2002, 03 and 05 but I think yesterday did."

Andy Murray's new coach Jonas Bjorkman will spend the whole of the summer with the British number one.

The Swede will be with Murray's team through Wimbledon and until at least the end of the US Open in September as main coach Amelie Mauresmo prepares to have her first child in August.

Former world number four Bjorkman, 43, links up with Murray, 27, for the first time at this week's BMW Open in Munich.

The arrangement was initially a five-week trial.

All hail Bayern Munich. The German giants have won their third straight Bundesliga title thanks to Wolfsburg's 1-0 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Pep Guardiola's side beat Hertha Berlin 1-0 on Saturday to put them within sight of the title.

Wolfsburg had to beat Gladbach to make Bayern wait another week for a 25th Bundesliga title but lost to a Max Kruse goal.

It's proving a pretty good season for Bayern, who are are still in the Champions League and German Cup semis.

Make one change to the PFA team...

John Sofi: Azpilicueta for Bertrand. He has been a tank defensively for the second season running. Kept Ashley Cole out of the starting 11 last year and has done the same thing to Filipe Luis this year but yet again has missed out.

James Walsh: Coutinho out, Austin in for a 4-3-3.

Owen Johnston: Henderson for Matic.

James Smith: Swap Coutinho for Fabregas

And thanks Darren for this one, most helpful...

Darren Ross: Costa out. Starbucks in.

Rio Ferdinand has clearly been reading.

We're asking what changes you would make to the PFA's team and Rio, obviously keen to get in on the act, has just tweeted his 11.

Now then, it seems football philosopher Jose Mourinho may have given us fuel for a debate this Monday morning. As you are no doubt aware, he bristled at suggestions that Chelsea have been "boring" recently and suggested it was far "more boring" to go 10 years without winning the title, a la Arsenal.

So, we'd like to know what's the most "boring" thing you've ever seen in sport? It might be a team, a match, or a sport in itself? A player, an athlete, a coach? A ridiculous rule? Send us your entries via the hashtag #moreboringthanchelsea and we'll feature the best on this very page.

Former world number one Lee Chong Wei has been given a eight-month ban for a doping violation at the badminton world championships last August.

But the ban is backdated, which means Wei can return to competition in four days time - on May 1.

Announcing the sanction today, the Badminton World Federation said Lee tested positive for Dexamethasone and that the source was a contaminated food supplement he had been taking.

Chelsea's title-winners (probably) won't have much time to put their feet up and celebrate success.

The Blues have announced a friendly against Sydney FC in Australia on June 2.

Boss Jose Mourinho said last month that a tour was being planned to celebrate the club's Capital One Cup win.

It's the start of a busy, jet-setting summer for the Blues, who are also heading to North America for the International Champions Cup. Blimey, they'll be shattered before next season's even begun.

Make one change to the PFA team - here's what you're telling us.

Andrew Vickers: Fonte for Cahill is an obvious swap. Been far more consistent and assured without the protection of a Terry or Matic.

Richard Lavill: Lloris in, De Gea out.

And on the PFA's Merit Award, given jointly to Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard...

DeathApeDisco: Gerrard and Lampard. They still pick both together when they should only choose one.

Robbie Savage might not be convinced that Eden Hazard deserved to be the PFA's player of the year (Savage thought Harry Kane should have been given the nod), but fellow BBC pundit Alan Shearer has no doubts.

Shearer believes Hazard is a worthy winner and has even tipped the Belgian to become the best player on the planet - bold words indeed.

"Hazard is only going to get better," said Shearer. "In three or four years, I think we could be talking about the Belgian being the best player in the world - he has the potential to be that good."

And while we're on the golf, take a bow Justin Rose.

The in-form Englishman birdied the last two holes to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Sunday.

It was a seventh PGA Tour title for the 34-year-old, who won by one shot from American Cameron Tringale.

Rose, the world number nine and runner-up at the Masters recently, posted a 22-under-par total of 266.

Phil Mickelson has withdrawn from this week's WGC-Cadillac Match Play Championship in San Francisco for personal reasons.

The 44-year-old five-time major winner said he is "disappointed" to miss the knockout event.

Finland's Mikko Ilonen, who won last year's Volvo World Match Play Championship, is Mickelson's replacement.

Defending champion Jason Day is ranked seventh for this year's event, which features the world's top 64-ranked players.

Ronnie O'Sullivan - with, hopefully, a pair of shoes on - and fellow former champions Shaun Murphy and Neil Robertson are in action at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.

Play starts at the Crucible at 13:00 BST with Murphy resuming his second round match against Joe Perry 12-4 up and needing only a frame to complete victory, while Judd Trump leads Marco Fu 10-6.

O'Sullivan, leading Matthew Stevens 12-4, and Robertson (11-5 up on Ali Carter), are in action at 19:00.

Right then, what have we got coming up throughout the course of the day, we hear you ask? Well, plenty is the answer.

Bournemouth face Bolton at 19:45 BST in a match worth an estimated £130m to the club, for that's what the experts reckon promotion to the Premier League is worth these days.

A win tonight and the Cherries - barring a final day defeat coupled with a 17-0 win for Middlesbrough ... so unlikely then - will be able to start counting the cash.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers (10:00 BST). Jose Mourinho (12:00), Hull's Steve Bruce (12:30) and Nigel Pearson at Leicester (14:00) are all giving news conferences. The four clubs are in action over the next couple of nights - it's Hull v Liverpool on Tuesday (19:45) and Leicester-Chelsea on Wednesday (19:45).

We'll bring you the best of what the managers say.
