I'm taking Lefty's advice on this one.

Good man. You know it makes sense.

I doubt he's even a a Wire fan.

Makes Colin Fishwick seem like Craig Garner

do they..couldnt give a toss weve got 28 golds and the games have been a joy to watch...as for the funding its not been stopped...

It's been quite astoundingly good. I feel proud and happy. The nation feels proud and happy. It was all better than expected.

Could end up with 30 golds. For our tiny island in the North Atlantic/North Sea, that's great!

Great stuff. Great Britain!

Me too, all of this, brilliant aint it!

This has been by far the greatest Olympics in my lifetime and I've been watching them all since Seoul '88. But now, it's all over and we now have to go back to having football rammed down our throats every second of every day until May 2013, Sky Sports News will now revert back to Sky Sports Football News et al.

When does Live Wired NOT spout crap? I'm surprised he's not made another forum topic about how crap the service is in the club shop.

totally agree..the footy starts next week when grown men dive on the floor pretending to be hurt and all we`ll hear is how the premiership is the best league in the world and rooney terry lampard gerrard etc are world class...at least we`ve got a couple of months of rugby left...

I've spoken to my coach and decided I'll go to Rio.



Virgin have a two week all in deal for £399

Important thing to remember about the Olympic legacy is that it's not just about securing funding, or more medals next time. It's also about people (young especially) feel inspired to get off their backsides and do some exercise. They don't have to take up the shot put, do a triathlon or take up dressage - just live a more active lifestyle.

Anyway, can't stop, got my first water polo session this afternoon so I've got to buy some arm bands for the horse.

I hope GB Handball ask for more volunteers because i'll seriously consider going for that.

The athletics on Friday night was by far and away the best sporting event I've ever attended as a "neutral" (ie, something not involving Liverpool or Warrington). That includes a European Cup Final between two Serie A teams, an NFL game in Tampa Bay and an F1 GP among other things so I have been to a few "events" just to experience them.

To be a part of this was something special. Really looking forward to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and London 2017 World Athletics Championships now, but nothing can or will top the Olympic Games and from what I experienced first hand as well as what I've watched on telly, London hosted them magnificently.
