don't think we'll get 15+ golds, home expectation is too great....well done to both the athletes who acheived a silver and bronze, these damn things are not easy to win...and defending a medal is probably the most difficult to do, as the weight of the nation on your shoulders must be tremendous....

I did start a thread, but the negativity sometimes on the site kills it for me, at least they bring the world together, just as it should be. 50 plus medals for Team GB. I'll go for 15+ gold, that's way out there.

I hope we get 57 medals - I entered a competition to guess the amount Team GB would get :)

ditto. particularly re olympics. 4 years is a long time in sport. hence why those that successfully do defend are deservedly well praised.

I knew there was a thread somewhere but couldn't find it. I'll have another look and merge it with this one. :-)

Well done to Tom Daley and Pete Waterfield for coming 4th. Just pipped at the post to gold, but still among the best in the world. :whoo:

 

What a great surprise to get a bronze in the mens gymnastics. The lads took the relegation from silver with good grace and real sportsmanship. :third:

 

COME ON TEAM GB!!!! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2

They should never have Scott.

 

I can't get over how all the presenters keep on telling us how well Team GB competitors did, even though they never got a (more than expected) medal.

 

Good luck to all the ones who try, but Team GB are certainly no World Beaters (regardless of the few medals they get).

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

The Somalian Olympic team have just issued an apology as they didn't realise that sailing and shooting were separate events.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

I know. I see that the po-faced no fun merchants seem to back in force. You can't even have a laugh nowadays without some tosser shouting "racist". The irony of it all is that the looniest one is racist herself and would happily see people refused jobs just for the crime of having the wrong skin colour. Amazing! That one above really did make me chuckle though!

list for 2008, haul, some of the events where we were expecting to win have already been and gone
