    Most overrated match performances

    Can't remember for sure, but looking at the line ups (with Funky presumably sharing the new nut with McGrath) I think it's a reasonable inference that it was (or at least expected to become) a proper old school SCG bunsen like what mamma used to make. Plus, you know, New Year's Day test and...

    "Perusing contemporary modern erotica with sapphic undercurrents" definitely sounds better than "watching a lesbo skin flick", yes.

    It's a cyclical thing, isn't it? The current crop might not be quite as talented as some of their august forebears (whilst acknowledging they were plenty good enough for England and that this is more of a comment on the majesty of previous AB teams), but I'm sure I've seen umpteen death notices...

    Worst Sport/Event in the 2024 Olympics - submissions

    Eunice Barber (who never won a heptathlon Olympic title, but I remember her for being Denise Lewis's main oppo back in the day) was a good enough long jumper to win the 2003 World Championships too.

    Graham Thorpe dies aged 55

    TBF some of us whose CW tenure goes back as far as that particular series called BS at the time. Big Dunc had set the call up as a Bell v Thorpe, but it, in reality, it was obviously a "perm 2 from 3" with KP, Thorpey and Ding Dong. Notwithstanding that, even if one accepts it was a two way...

    Graham Thorpe dies aged 55

    Vale. Just to echo what others have already said. No age and an awfully sad loss. England's sole world class batsman for most of his career and the bulwark of our middle order. Hero of mine growing up too. Think my fondest memory of him was his efforts in the third test of England's 00/01...

    Question on ban announcements

    I was never 100% sure if he was really a little special or if he was doing an extended bit. Either way the effect was the same. I only reported one post, wherein he wondered if Jessica Ennis had apologised to Ched Evans. Um. Yeah. I'll take "Things a **** says" for $100 please, Alex.

    ***Official 2024 Olympics Thread***

    I may've imagined it, but I'm pretty sure we had Daley Thompson run a leg of the 4x100 in some games or other. Think it might've been LA in 1984, but could be confusing it with a Europeans or Worlds.

    Invent a new Olympic event

    Anything whilst pissed. As anyone who has ever taken a drink will know, even the simplest of tasks become much trickier when, as I believe the current vernacular would have it, one is as pissed as a fart. In the UK (bar Scotland) the legal drink drive blood alcohol content limit is 80...

    If you trained for five years…

    I don't think so, not to any meaningful extent. Looking at the squad for 2012 we leant into the ringers. 6 out of 14 were raised in continental Yurp: Jesper Parker - Swedish (Brit dad) Sebastian Prieto - Monégasque (ditto) Steven Larsson - British-born, moved to Sweden when young Robin Garnham...
