London hopefuls become Village people 3:19pm on 26 Aug 2008 "The competitors are competing in different sports, funded differently, accountable to different bodies, sponsers etc"

Whilst this is true, when they perform, they are performing as a collective, no matter if it is a seperate sport. Hence the reason they flew back together. It was team GB, and within that name, there are seperate sports, sponsers, targets and funding systems.

Collectivly though, they are a team.
Final humiliation in the park 2:11pm on 15 Aug 2008 Nice peice! really enjoyed reading!
Phelps 100m away from matching Spitz's magnificent seven 12:04pm on 15 Aug 2008 4. River_Pines....are you joking.

How can the world records be meaningless just because someone finishing last broke the old record.

The fact that a new one is set is amazing. Just think no-one has ever swam over these distances before....EVER.

Breaking a world record is always an amazing achievment, in particular when you consider how many Phelps' is breaking. Truly one of the best sportsmen ever.
Barry saga leaving a sour taste 4:34pm on 04 Jul 2008 Good article.

A few things are getting me frustrated. MON did NOT make this public, he responded to a question that was asked on the back of an article published in the Liverpool Echo that had a statement 'leaked' by Liverpool FC, claiming a bid had been made. This is when the 'Saga' went public. MON merely made the joke of a bid public, and showed his anger at such drastic under-valuation. Why Barry would even think of going to a club that valued him at less the £5 million is beyond me.

Barry has sadly spoilt a golden reputation. He should had stayed one more year, regular football and captain of a young bright squad, full of potential, and helped try and push Villa to that 4th spot. If they hadn't made it, fair enough, he could have left with dignity and pride.

Now he will join a club, who undervalue him, a board not prepared to back the (all be it, rather farcical) manager, and join another team who is in a battle for the 4th spot, with the like of Everton and Villa, certainly not guaranteed it. He may only get one season of champs league out of this move.

Villa grow in respect and stature, whilst Liverpool continue to stoop to new lows, from what was once a great club.
