Is that £70k a week Mick?



By a country mile.



The mountains are the best place in the world. Nothing better than riding up a real belter. Just you and nature, an incredible view, sense of accomplishment etc. I recommend it to everyone. Going out there myself in three weeks. Can't wait.

Shut up bruce and buy me a pair of trainers?

It must be ace to be a cycling fan and live through this then. Enjoy* lids.

It's boss to watch Wales & England be superb at cricket lately. All we need is for Everton to pull their finger out.

* until the dope testing gets better

 

[Bruce Wayne]

To be honest it's nice not having the guys you admire busted I grew up loving Pantani (rest his soul). Those were very different times.

 

[chicoazul]

Fair play to them as it's one incredibly tough sport. Does the equipment make much difference, like some lid has a better bike than another lid but isn't as good but he still wins?

i don't understand, everyone when they're the best are suppose to get all the luck. SA have had major slices of luck throughout this series as well, (still been the better team though). but england dont seem to be getting much pieces of luck at all, it's a major symbol of winners in sport.

early wickets 2moro an its game on, still dont advocate the decision to put them in like, keeping on topic 20/20 would be a boss olympics sport

 

[RFUS]

Soni just eased to gold and became the first woman ever to do the 200m breaststroke in under 2:20.

American swimming domination continues.

yeah i know, but still aussies had all the luck in the ODI and still got battered 4-0, without that luck there would have been some embarassing results.

i was thinking about t20 in the olympics aswell, would be good but then who would eoin morgan play for? the west indies would have to be totally split up as well.

 

[micknick]

Couple of fitties in the GB womens hockey team.

2-0 up now.
