[The T-Dex]

Jimmy Carr shouldn't be playing tennis really.

dave just go away ffs

Does anyone else feel slightly surreal at how well we are doing?

A gold in the mens tennis is beyond surreal, it was last done by someone from these islands in 1908.

That crowd deserve their money back. Federer was pretty rank there.

Pretty stunned tbh. We'll take it like. Hollow though.

I wish Murray could do it when it counts in a Grand Slam.

Appalling attitude. Slouching around between points, making a half arsed attempt at returns of serve. Not a great day for tennis, tbf.

 

[Phenom]

He deserved that, one of my favourite golds right there.

Hope Murray pushes on career wise for it. But it's bizarre to me how successful Team GB are. There is no crushing defeat so far and I need that lol.

Hahaha.

 

[Bigmaclad]

This is nuts, we're bossing this Olympics of late.

 

[Allezfan]

34 medals, and 16 gold. Pretty good.

We got 47 (19 gold) last time, 30 (9 gold) in 2004 and 28 (11 gold) in 2000.

 

[bluebottle]

Where do the medal prospects come from now does anyone know?

MickNick would make a great mod and could ban Dave for an hour. We could call it happy hour.

 

[bluebottle]

So 47 medals is unlikely but gold tally could well be eclipsed?
