The Kraken

Oh do f*ck off playing the race card.

Going by yesterday's performance he seems to fit well with Clyne. He certainly seems a more natural fit there than Guly, who may well compete with Lallana for the attacking midfield role. I'd prefer for us to sign someone like Jarvis as I don't think Puncheon is quite good enough as a regular starting option, but he's definitely a great option to have in the squad.

Maybe it is, but the first I'd heard of it. Apparently they've been together for a few years.

Talking of commentators, I heard yesterday that Colin Jackson and Mark Foster are a couple.

Gold for Big Ben in the saliing.

And another gold in the rowing!

Bloody hell, another gold in the rowing!!

Of course they give him an advantage. How quick would he be without them? Would athletes with legs be allowed to use a modified form of his contraptions in the bottoms of their shoes if it made them run faster?

Yep this. They seem to have a completely overwhelming hatred of the "fackin scummas" and just erupt and start foaming at the mouth when a Saints fan pops up. Its utterly childish, but a rather dark mentality they have. Quite funny really to see how fragile they are to it, but there you go, like you say its their forum and their rules.

No, he absolutely shouldn't be allowed to compete. His artificial springs give him a clear advantage; his split times are completely different to other 400m runners because of it. Most 400m runners blast out from the start and fade towards the end. Oscar is slow at the start, but because of his amputated legs he has far less lactic acid build up and is stronger in the last 100m. Just because the net result is that he can run around about the same time as other 400m runners it doesn't mean it should be allowed. He is using significant artificial devices to enable him to run quicker. Therefore it obviously shouldn't be allowed, even if it does create a heart-warming story and reinforce what a role model he is.

No, you haven't. Hats off for that. Your sign of low intellect (apart from your spelling) manifests itself in many other more obvious ways, to be fair. Nonetheless, nearly 9 years is admirable dedication to the sheer effort it must take to portray yourself as someone who, by your own admission, you actually aren't. I'm inclined to ask why you bother, but you're clearly very proud of your online persona. So I'll just congratulate you on your achievement and carry on bemused.

Yes, the only reason I don't like dressage is because it's too technical for my limited understanding. Nothing at all to do with it being absolutely mind numbingly boring.

How sad that you've felt you have to act the c*nt for the past 8 years. Weirdo. If you're going to be a character at least be funny or interesting.

Thanks. I didn't think it was funny myself, but cheers anyway.

It seems to me that people are never satisfied with people being never satisfied on here. Even if we won the champions league, there would be those who would find bad areas to say about people who found bad areas. The PA system, tickets office prices, beer queues etc. For me, going to football is for the football and it seems almost surreal that we have gone up two divisions in two years. I'm completely up for this season more than any other due to the size of the PL nowadays and the way we play at the moment. I can't be the only one on here who wonders why the posters who complain about the pessimistic posters always seem to have louder voices. Ironically, I'm moaning about the moaners now but there we go.

We'd just as well conserve effort and let our athletes have a proper effort at 2016 instead, this year is gone.

Jess Ennis - fast!!!

Nope, deinitely still banned, been a few days now.

Frank, if you're going to go down the nationality route for Team GB you'll find a lot of such examples. Including double gold medal hope, Somalian-born Mo Farah.

Oh dear, just seen Team GB women are 0-2 to Canada in the footy, less than 30 minutes to go.

Just Murray thanks Letsbe. Hit Scotchness has little to do with the reason I dislike him. He's on a par in my dislike stakes with Tiger Tim Henman, if that eases the pain for you?

Whoosh, btf. I have enough Scotch friends to know the difference.

Good luck to him. Hope he loses

I'd be happy to see him lose every game.

I think I've not just been banned but IP banned, I can't even get back in on the mayhem.
