Stayed awake long enough to watch Murray retain his Olympic Gold after the usual Murray roller-coaster ride. Made for dramatic watching…4 hours of Power Tennis. Well done Andy! :lou_lol: ---

Same here 'slowlane. Between a knackered Del Potro and an out of touch Murray it was gripping. Also Murray’s reaction tells you how important it was to him. He was in bits. ---

It’s been a remarkable effort so far by Team GB. No doubt a lot of you won’t want to hear it but part of the success is down to John Major who was the driving force behind lottery funding of Sports. What a legacy he has left. ---

I must be experiencing what people who don’t like football feel during the world cup. I’ll be glad when this shit sports day is over. No one gives a fuck about running or throwing things or poncing about on a horse (literal or wooden) except once every four years. If its that fucking interesting then watch it every week. Go and watch some cunt spin himself round on a wooden thing and then land on a mat each and every week, you bunch of asshats. ---
