I dunno what the Stockport/Leeds/Plymouth etc people said, but in London we said 'Thank f**k it's in Beijing/Athens and not London'

Who saw the footie last night? Bloody Senegal. Nice goal. We should've got that penalty though, ffs. At least Ramsey seems to be having one of his brief not awful periods. And did you see the Spain Japan result?!!

o/ to both questions. Though the whole Team GB nonsense got on my tits, as others have commented.

Spain were turgid yesterday. For us, a draw was probably a fair result on the balance of play, but we should have had a penalty.

Can we fix it? We bally well can!

But isn't the football boring?

Strangely, it seems that the sport actually needs the bellicose tribal, slightly threatening fans and the ludicrous posturing on pitch to actually make it interesting.
The Olympic version just seems like soccer-lite.
I genuinley miss the chants of "You fat bastard " and "Who's the wanker in the black?"
Football is meant to be ritualised war.
This stuff is far too nice.

Also, on the news last night the reporter had the nerve to say, no need to bring your own grub - there's plenty to eat in the Olympic park.

Then proceeded to tell us that Fish & Chips was £8.50 !!

What is that, caviar and poker chips?

So Lazzard how do you feel now that London Zoo confiscated your penguin costume and banned you from their enclosure?

I thought you were just trying to steal their eggs.

Hey, it's better than shooting up the local cinema.

Not fair where do you expect me to take my heroin?

Bingo?

I don't even know why we have football as an event, it's not the first sport that comes to mind when you think of the Olympics.

I'm also in two minds about Womens Boxing - is a baying bloodthirsty crowd, excited by the prospect of two females knocking shit out of each a triumph for feminism?

Yep. Not the ultimate aim, mind you

Why would you want to make it up? As incompetent a buffoon as Jeremy Hunt is, this is pretty much a non-story and shouldn't be given this amount of coverage.

Still, it is a great opportunity for broken bell end jokes.

It's perfect! It's got a wanker minister looking a muppet, it's got massive incompetence in a handy metaphor, it's got untold potential for innuendo, the happily whingy olympic whingers are happy to laugh at it, the anti olympic whinging whingers can enjoy saying it shouldn't have this much coverage, AND we've got shit weather for the opening ceremony, AND everyone going anywhere will have to queue for ages cos of the traffic/crowded public places. It's as British as it gets and I for one am very proud.

Truedat blud. Touch.

I am enjoying all the speculation about the 'awfulness' of the Opening Ceremony. If truth be told, all Olympic opening ceremonies are boring as fook.

I know people raved on about China, but aside from the drummers, I can't remember a single thing about it, such was it's completely dullifying impact.

Reading in the official Olympic programme it says that 150,000 condoms were being given to those taking part. Now, as there approximately 10,500 competitors, that equates to roughly 15 each. Partners won't be in the Olympic village so I guess they all must be 'working out' with other athletes. The games last just over two weeks and as half are women that doubles the opportunities for shenanigans to twice a day. Are these athletes in training for an international sex marathon or something?

For EVERY competitor to have their urges met to that level seems to be taking the safe sex campaign to a whole new level. I'm not going to go into the fact that some of those taking part are under 16 or pushing 60...
