Burnley are going to go up aren't they? yuk.

Ridiculous a club at National level doesnt have a terrace and has to bolt in some barriers in front of seats, but barnet have installed 'safe standing'...

Block seven looked great in their new section at easter road, nice display from Aberdeen too, things are moving forward again in scotland.

Rooney has an amazing ability to make teams he manages look much worse than they were before he took over.

Thought it was top notch, although i thought the BBC didnt cover all the sports and the whole thing was very swimming heavy. But apart from that it was great. I have to say I thought the crowds were amazing every even seemed to be packed to the rafters, and some magnificent settings also. Apparantly there were record numbers of tickets sold beating the previous best Atlanta 1996. I think the only place you could probably beat it would be in LA next time around, although we'll have to endure the endless USA, USA chants.

Surely the likes of new zealand/netherlands doesn't come close to the funding we have and population relatively small in comparison. Obvioulsy population and funding are a big part but the quality of coaching and desire/mental strength have to play a big part too. It was a dissapointing gold medal tally for Team GB but the fact we got more medals than Tokyo and the same as London 2012 is pretty impressive. Need to turn some of those silver and bronze into gold.

I'm assuming no club has ever managed 3 promotions in 3 seasons at this level? I certainly can't recall any.

Thing is Daggers if KP do go, we'll probably be taken over by someone just the same, thats modern ownership.

I think they'll be very dissapointed if they aren't a championship club next season.

All i can think was the USA wanted a WR, no reason to set off early, they could've played safe and won gold.

Spain are just so good at all levels, their coaching must be amazing.

Just throwing it out there. But i reckon the yanks will win the womens 4x400m relay.

Loving the USA chants then botswana athelete wins gold.

No-one does.

I thought he spoke really well about shakey despite not really knowing him.

I wish they had proper safe standing but hey this is definately a step forward.

Have to say, not a fan at glancing at the screen, just focus.

The mental strength and will to win is something that seems to be in the american DNA.

Poor fella seems distraught.

Yanks do it again...incredible.

Yeah I agree, most top countries seem to have won less, although we still have a few days left.

Last thing at night and first thing in the morning.

Aussies having a brilliant games, I assume what seems like endless swimming medals is the main reason? Looks like we're going to have our worst games for 20 years.

No, purely coincidental.
