Holden McGroin

I just saw a post in General about a little lad. His dad is Aguero, his grandpa is Maradona and his godfather is Messi. Has there ever been a pro footballer who was better than his father. Jordi Cruyff - No Scott Gemmil - No Nigel Clough - No? Was Craig Burley better than his dad?

A few of the events are for the privileged (fencing, equestrian etc) so it makes sense that they have a bigger scope of disciplines to get into. The wealthier have better opportunities. Fact of life, really.

He is such an odd bloke. Well, I say bloke but mean Internet character. He might be ok in the real world. Tightly wound though.

Gatlin denied ever doping didnt he? At least Chambers was man enough to admit it. I think they should be banned for life though. People like them and Marion Jones that fuck up the sport. Any idea who came 2nd when Marion Jones dominated the Olympics 2000? Such a shame that their limelight was snatched from them and then their medals upgraded 7/8 years later.

Yeah, Lineker has far too often stumbled with his banter. Jake Humphrey, despite being a bit of a drip, has done well.

I went on Sat morning and fortunately got to see Ennis in the Javelin/Long jump, Mens 100 heats (Bolt, Gay, Blake et al), mens 400 heat (Blade runner), womens pole vault and womens steeplechase (didnt realise Liz McGolgan's daughter ran in this). Got back and watched the evening session. What a day of sporting greatness. We waited around 1-2 hours afterwards as queues were mental to get out of Stratford.

Its like 1998 again. Wingbacks went out of fashion years ago.

Reading between the lines there it looks like he wants to come but there is a stumbling block with money somewhere or other.

Europe (and the travelling ) will take it out of us next season - unless we just decide to field a rotated squad for the Waffa League. Unfortunately, I can see around 7-10th.

I think he got kicked out of Brighton for his attitude.

I'm going to see the Athletics on the 4th Aug. I get the heptathlon, mens 400m and 100m heats. £65 for the morning.

In clothes.

You miss the odd sentence here and there. Generally fine though.

Just had a quick google on David Roche to see what he was upto. 1995: Got jailed for 4 years because of stabbing a bouncer in Circus Circus after he had been barred from Madisons 2003: Jailed again (8 years) after being involved in a 500,000 drugs racket.

Yeah, but a lot of the "pundits" on the podcasts are journalists for the The Guardian. Louise Taylor has been on before. Not that im knocking it. Its a bi-weekly tradition for me.

Ive been to Dubai 3 (Once as a stopover to OZ and twice to visit a mate ) times now. Its an interesting cultural/social experience first time around but not really anything special. I suspect the PL footballers just go for the Pool/sunbathing breaks. There are some luxurious hotels out there.

Inter didnt get in the Champions League this year so hopefully that makes it a bit more of a level playing field.

Cracking norks on Jims neighbour.

Whats the problem with her? Need more info in order to make this smooth for you!

I quite liked him a few years back when he was a lot more rude to morons who used to ring up. He was obviously told to tone down his act. Aled is a complete bell-whiff though. How he got a producers job at the BBC baffles me. Thats it for Radio 1 for me. I'm officially too old for that station now.

Toss up between him and Alan Sugar.

Seemed like he tried hard. Just a very poor footballer after his bad injury.

Colin Firth/Ben Barnes jobby.

I havent mate. Is it this one? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098672/
