Serious question, how much coverage has Mo Farrah got in the Daily Mail?

No idea mate, wouldn't buy it and wouldn't bother my arse to read it online.

An absolute rag of a paper.

That Kiwi lass had rabies.

Is this the same route as the regular London Marathon, does anyone know?

I know mate, I would just find it funny if they are lauding praise on him, when they have championed against people like him in the past

If youve bought a ticke for the lottery then it means you own shares in every single athlete and if they don't win a medal and deny you your reflected glory then write into Watchdog on BBC and demand some of your money back, or at least ten free scratchcards as compensation.

Gah, I'm a knob. It'll be a different route because it'll finish in the stadium won't it?

FFS, sorry lids.

*gives head a wobble.

It doesn't finish in the stadium, it's 3 laps of an 8 mile circuit around the city (and a bit more) my money is on the finish line being the middle of tower bridge with it lifting after the winner crosses the line and the rest hitting the drink.

so no, mustn't be the same as the London Marathon.

An Olympic marathon that doesn't finish in the stadium? What is this sorcery?

Had a check on their website and the comments are all claiming racism, because the mostly black bbc panel enjoyed watching him win.

What a bunch of 24 carat [Poor language removed] those people are.

No, seriously?

I dont understand the British nationalism that has arisen from yesterday. Everyone saying they are proud to be British because they happen to be born in the same country as a successful athlete? I'm not proud because nothing I have done has any bearing on whether they win or lose.

I'm proud of the athletes because I know just how much work they've put into getting where they are. I would have thought such dedication though would make all the lazy fatsos sat on the sofa watching them ashamed rather than proud.

No, seriously?

The night the BBC team went wild: Watch Denise Lewis and Colin Jackson's ecstatic reaction as Mo Farrah claims sixth British gold

Hardly racist

No, seriously?

The article is called "Caught in the Mo-ment of glory! BBC commentators scream and jump with excitement as athletics ace Mo Farah crosses the finish line" and one of the first comments is "If it were a white athlete I don't think thed be jumping up like that." And another is "even the BBC is showing patriotism, never thought I'd see the day." and a third is "see the white guy in the studio is the only one not excited, hmmmm"
