The longest day, the shortest hour 2:18pm on 11 Sep 2009 Tom - chuffed for you mate, that was legendary! I read the blog first, then watched the vid, was gripped by it all. When they showed you coming down the final straight in the 1,500m I was getting up out of my chair and almost shouted COME ON TOM! in the middle of the office. Good to see you do so well after following all the blogs on your training.

300 points to world champion? No problem mate, that's only a 10% improvement - ha ha!
The men who witnessed sporting history 03:00am on 22 Aug 2009 Excellent piece Forders, you are fast becoming one of my favourite journos.

Is the Worlds inspiring you for the decathlon or hindering your training, and how is the hammy holding up?

Pressure - what pressure? 7:27pm on 06 Aug 2009 Forders - add Sidebottom in there and the punning reaches new heights...
The girl with the golden arm 5:02pm on 29 Jul 2009 Tom - this was a great read. Had me alternately guffawing out loud and raising my eyebrows in sympathetic awe. Ultimately it's good just to read that you're cracking on and making progress on everything. I'm vicariously living this with you now mate, I'm hooked.

Visions of you getting up at 4am, sticking on a hoodie and practising various events at dawn to the Rocky theme and Gonna Fly Now - you can do it mate, make us proud!

PS - are you covering the third Test?
Shot to pieces 5:30pm on 24 Jul 2009 Stevo - according to Caroline you're a regular decathlete so I'll assume you're being modest. What's your predo for Forders' decathlon, event by event? I'd love to follow Tom live online while he's competing. Any chance of getting this set up?
Shot to pieces 6:58pm on 22 Jul 2009 Tom - two words for you: Daley Thompson. If that doesn't get you through this, nothing will.

Also, for the actual event can we have Cheese and Dirsy doing live commentary and a Stevo's Predo on your performance in each event? Just a thought...
Shot to pieces 2:06pm on 22 Jul 2009 Forders - you're a legend mate. I've been reading your blogs with huge interest (especially the Daley training session) and I, like many other silent followers I expect, am really willing you on for this. If I hadn't moved to Canada I might even come and cheer you on for the actual event. Anyway, hang in there Tom. In a funny kind of way, I'm finding myself supporting you in this as much as I do England in your Ashes commentaries. You don't need to be world class to have your efforts mean something. Look at the passion and emotion on the terraces at clubs like Darlington every week. So next time you're feeling like giving up, just say to yourself "No, Hitcho is gunning for me and I'm not letting him down". There's likely a small army of BBC blog readers like me. Don't give up on us Forders, you've started this and you've got yourself a following. Finish it!

(And best of British to you by the way)

PS - why aren't Dirs, Cheese and Stevo doing this with you?
ECB hit for six by Stanford 9:23pm on 18 Feb 2009 As usual, the Bose Blog is full of speculation, rhetorical questions and virtually no substance. How did you ever get to be the BBC Sports editor?
Top three face crucial tests 7:29pm on 09 Jan 2009 Benitez is no fool. This was not a knee-jerk reaction - he had time to reflect on how to respond and his retort was clearly pre-meditated, not least because he pulled out a written list!

I think he's lining up the officials now for LFC's visit to Old Trafford later in the season. He's highlighted both SAF and the Utd staff generally as harrassing the officials and got his point on record in a very public way. He could hacve gone for any number of other points to attack SAF and Utd on, but he chose this one, and I think he did so for a clear reason. Look for this to raise its head again shortly before MUFC v LFC later in the season.

I bet SAF is nodding in shrewd approval of this move, although he'd never admit it! Game on!!!
Hatton still tough enough 2:55pm on 21 Nov 2008 Hatton should be able to take care of Paul "Magic Man" Daniels inside the distance. His body work will take a lot out of PM and I think the fight will be stopped. I'd like to see Ricky win by KO but I'm going for a stoppage. PM will be destroyed and cut to pieces by round 10.

I hope...
