Its easy to point at a transfer and say why cant we do that. You could just as easy point to Gareth Barry and say at least ours dont fall through due to running out of funds, or to Berbatov and say Id wish he'd just move or Ronaldo etc. Not all transfers happen in a flash. Though look at Jonas, that happened quickly and under the radar, so we can do it.

Actual Medal table

That tables wrong. Shouldnt China be top? I see it as 2. China- 25 (17g, 3s, 5b) 1. United States- 28 (10g, 8s, 10b) 3. S. Korea- 12 (5g, 6s, 1b) 4. Australia- 12 (4g, 2s, 6b,) 6. Italy- 10 (4g, 4s, 2b) 5. Russia- 12 (2g, 7s, 3b) 7. France- 9 ( 7s, 2b) Even then there are countries with Golds missing. I was doing it by total medals. I just think it is strange to do it by gold medals. You think it's strange to do it on who has won the most events? Going against the Olympic motto there I'm close to mathematics...it just makes too much sense to do it by total accumulated. What would you rather have as a sportsman/woman. One gold or two silver? Id say one gold anyday, its what all Olympians strive towards. It also gets GB further up the table

How rude.

My sweep will be "none".

Im expecting nothing. Reckon something would have been in the news by now. Still wonder what the hold up with Colo is.

I get your Goat

You dont reach Olympic greatness until you have a computer game named after you. More so if you have one that actually makes the keyboard melt during play (Decathlon on the rubber keyed Spectrum!)

Id keep him like. He's done little wrong since he came and is decent at the back or midfield. Certainly a good squad player and while Id be letting Geremi or Cacapa go, I reckon this was one of Sams better signings.

I do like the signings we have made, I do think we are stronger than last season but still need a few more signings. I'd still live with 10-8th which would be good progress I think. We just need to shake the media off our ankle so we can concentrate on getting behind the team. I think too many supporters get sucked in by the media.

You read those text like entries man I must be getting old....

Oh, I seen him at the match. I hid thinking it was predator.

Seems to be forgetting the other 50% of the league that have that very same aim.

I know he is well rated by the few Blackburn fans I know.

This meeting is the one I think the lass at the club was telling me about. Getting the main corporate investors at a meeting to give them assurances about the clubs direction etc.

Fuck me its Beardsley!

I thought Id only watch this when there was nowt on. Found myself glued to the box each morning. So far been following the rowing, boxing, archery and swimming. Great going from the lasses like to get the medals in the pool. Not their strongest event either.

Being optimistic, I think we could push 8th. I think we have a strong first team that could challenge most of the 12-5th place teams. However, as the injuries creep in our lack of quality in depth will show. So, I think our season is very reliant on keeping people fit. Though Ive said 8th being optimistic, I actually think 10th.

I think 1. I know KK says 2 or 2-3 depending on what you read, but I think he'll get 1 of them.

Well no, I think we should have an attacking line up and go for it. But the question was can we win. I think Man Utd are leagues ahead of us, just look at last season. However, if we are going to get something then there isnt a better time to play them and I hope we come out and go for it.

Take the or out and we might have a shot like....
