    pfft, what's this doing on the second page?

    After super saturday today we could well be ahead of the Aussies on the medal table (albeit with about half their tally - Golds are the ones that count)

    Those to look out for today after Adlington....Ainslie (Sailing, already guaranteed silver should take gold), Yngling (Sailing - already got bronze, need to finish ahead of the dutch to get gold), Wiggins (cycling IP), Hoy (cycling - keirin) a couple of the rowing crews have decent chances as well and Sotherton should get a medal in the heptathlon.

    You ***** still got a gold today, not the end of the world

    Rebecca Romaro also another chance of a medal.

    Apparently Peter Reid was in the coxless four that won gold. Had been wondering what the old scouse **** had been up to since getting sacked by Coventry.

    Whey-hey! Fair play to the lightweight double sculls. Think that takes us ahead of the crims.

    Think it does if you factor in the Gold already won in the Women's Cycling...Ainslie should secure his soon if they ever get out on the water as well.

    It'll be good that the tv stations over here won't be able to do their 'change the number of countries on the medal tables we show to 1 less than the position Britain are in' anymore

    Tipping Victoria Pendleton to get Gold in the Women's Sprint. The men should also get another Gold.

    He's pissing the medal race as we speak. Looks a wee bit choppy to say the least.
