[lenny007]

How fking pitiful and pathetic and sadly British was that news item tonight. The bloke is the most successful olympian ever and some no mark dreary voiced boz eyed fker comes on the telly to tell us "he isn't that good".

What was the fecking point of the news item? What did it prove?
It's just to typical of the build em up and knock em down society in this country.

Tell you one thing - if he'd been born here, we'd be salivating all over the bd.

No the media here would be finding as many ways as possible to knock him down, it's a modern cultural thing to do with jealousy.

I think Michael Johnson's comment was funny, about the track and field guys only go one way but Phelps can go backwards so no wonder he can win so many medals.
