    Would have like to see a Corgi come down in a parachute.

    Don't think the RSPCA would have approved.

    Might have been better to see Becks coming down in a parachute. Or Posh Spice coming down without one.

    Beckham wasn't allowed to bring his dog, unlike Cameron.

    Never been able to stand her. Posh? What a joke, she's a common tart.

    Pardon the language.

    Never been a fan.
    Are you going to any Olympic football AB and if so have you got your tickets?
    Not impressed with what has gone at SJP this week.

    See the major blunder at the BO yesterday? Even though it wasn't all their fault.

    I've had trouble myself with tickets for the away games that haven't arrived and I've had to sort it out with the ticketing office at the away teams ground. Stoke and Spurs come to mind and they were both as helpful and friendly as could be. Nothing was a bother to them.

    I'll be taking some of the games in, a put off till our season starts.

    We got our tickets delivered to home, which seeing a lot of dissapointed fans, I'm pleased we did.

    Apparently the Box Office for the Olympics is run by ticketmaster, not the regular staff. I'm sure those who deal with a full stadium every week could cope better than these loons.

    Looking forward to tomorrow, though for all Spain should do well, they were beaten by Japan on Thursday, so who knows. Can't wait to see Brazil on Wednesday though.

    I heard that too. We have tickets for QF so hoping Brazil get through.
    Japan look a good team. Senegal were very hard against GB, tackles flying in.

    The fencing is so awkward to watch... You have two people who have charged into one another (doing what the "experts" call a prima etc, yet it's all simply running at one another with the blade pointed at the other person's chest, so why the fancy name?), and then the judge looks at a tv monitor to see which one scored the point while both athletes scream that it was them... Most of the replays seem inconclusive at best...

    I haven't been this confused since I realised that my mate wasn't joking that Liverpool had bid 35 million for Carroll... Andy Carroll? Who'd of thought it?

    I realised today what a really bad loser I am, so gutted for Mark Cavendish and the rest of the team, so good luck to the ladies in their road race.

    Hopefully the one or two idiot spectators that think it's ok to step into the road stay at home tomorrow, and the irresponsible dog owner who did not have their dog on a leash. :steam: Rant over!

    They shouldn't be allowed to stay at home they should be banged up for the duration of the games.

    I was gutted for Cav too. Need to see us win a medal some time soon <laugh>

    As for spectators, they're probably used to it. Get some loons in the TDF too. Dog was a bit wierd, but apparently that also happened it TDF this year and resulted in a crash. Least nobody threw tacks on the road.

    Apparently according to NUFC.com the QF at SJP is reportedly a sellout.
