He'll need to go get himself a nandrolone sandwich before the final.

Why did the interviewer ask him about Dai Greene's race? Like he wants to talk about that after crashing out of his own.

i have no idea, made me cringe. he'll probably look bad for not saying, we're all one team in this, he's GB athletics captain yada yada yada

Dai Greene is in, [Poor language removed] y'all.

Oh of course, what they've achieved isn't the product of just talent. But nothing is at that level.

I worry to be honest how I'll feel about football this year. I've just found so much respect and admiration for the athletes at the Olympics that going back to watching the egotistical, overpaid, arrogant, disrespectful little blerts that plague our league might result in a lot of lost interest.

What we're watching here is human beings at the very peak of physical fitness, sacrificing everything and pushing themselves to the absolute limit not for money, but for the honour and pride of being named as the best in the world at their chosen discipline.

Joey Barton earns £85,000 a week.

I reckon Jack Green was just so embarrassed he hit the hurdle so hard he thought he would pull a Neymar.

 

[The T-Dex]

Greene has probably been doping and has still got in very luckily. God damn Welsh

[Cena]

The Jamie O'Hara vs Leon Knight twitter farce, just goes to show modern footballers are dickheads and how much better Olympians are and Paralympians by the way.

Incidentally, whose doing the Paralympics preview thread??

I definitely hear what you're saying but football and Everton will never decrease in my interest, even if we buy bags of **** and put them on 90k a week I will still support them to the hilt even though what you're saying is bang on.
