Put your questions to Michael Johnson 11:16pm on 29 Apr 2009 Micheal,you were the man,no doubt. 96 olympics is arguably the greatest competition/tournament performance ever by any athlete. Congrats.

But tell me about Frankie Fredericks. How do you rate his chances in 2012?

Seriously though, he was great wasn't he.
Have the Hitman's fans met their match? 10:38pm on 02 Mar 2009 The manny that fought against marquez is a totally different manny to the one fighting now. Hes far more elusive. I love manny but i used to despair at his brawling, come-forward style. What has shocked and amazed me is how he has seen the weaknesses in his game and ironed them out so efficiently. He will use speed against hatton (obv). Hes also a helluva lot bigger so will be harder to wobble. And i just dont think hatton will get near him. Manny will flit around him and tag him up. I do like hatton too and i hope he acquits himself well and goes on to have more big fights. But i hope and think manny wins this one. Then i actually hop eboth go on to fight and beat FMJ consecutively. Then manny v JMM again maybe just to shut up all the haters lol.

The funny thing aby marquez is ppl call for a rubber match but its already over even if JMM wins its still only level lol but he did box well v Diaz and it would be a good fight to see.
Taylor made for Wycombe 4:55pm on 17 Dec 2008 a fairly boring and pointless article as it is basically a drooling fan-piece. Just a run down of his career and a few 'facts' and quotes that show why Taylor is such a great coach and all round great bloke. Utterly pointless. And I'm a Wycombe fan. A far more interesting article would be an analysis of why Wycombe have started so well then plumetted in recent seasons, and why Taylor will avoid the same fate this time. Or why Taylor had drifted so much, or why he bailed on Stevenage. It makes out Taylor is some kind of coaching guru, when in fact he is a coach/manager that the jury is still out on.
Can Birmingham, Reading and Derby bounce back? 09:30am on 07 Aug 2008 I believe that Reading and Bristol City will go up automatically. I think birmingham will get into the play offs along with Wolves, Palace and probably Watford, with either Palace or Birmaingham winning. The only other teams I see making a genuine playoff challenge are sheff utd and watford. The rest of the league ie swansea, norwich, plymouth, blackpool, derby will not do much. My only darkhorse would be ipswich as they are an intersting prospect.

to deathstardb - simon davies awesome last season? i presume thats a joke.

a bet on reading and city to finish top 2 reaps dividends....

Arsenal, reading, mk dons and wycombe and celtic to win their respective leagues.
What to watch at the Olympic trials 4:35pm on 18 Jul 2008 Steve Cram is bitter, fickle, attention seeking, childish and not very bright. It both amazes and angers me that he is given such a platform for his views. Go back and read some of his other blogs. The most mind numbingly boring and irrelevant blogs you could have the misfortune to read. Cram, no one cares about your stupid opinions, please realise this. I actually think you have some sort of mental problem as your opinions are so wildly fluctuating, paranoid and confused.
Olympic ideals survive Chambers challenge 4:18pm on 18 Jul 2008 To ban someone for life, from anything, denies the power of redemption and forgiveness. Ban them from all competition for four years, never make a lifetime ban. It just does not make sense on moral, practical or legal grounds.

I hope another nation allows Dwaine to compete for them. It would be a nice ending to the story.
The dirtiest race in history 4:01pm on 18 Jul 2008 "however, I would have prefered impartial commentary when I watched the 100m finals at the British Olympic Trials not have to listen to snide comments."

unfortunately petty, snide comments appears to be all our 'great' past athletes are capable of. People like Daley Thompson etc have completely embarrased themselves with their attention seeking rants against Chambers. I think the majority of the british sporting public are thouroughly tired of all the anti-chambers rhetoric - yes we know what all you ex athletes think, please leave the guy alone, he is a human being and hasnt broken the law
The dirtiest race in history 2:49pm on 18 Jul 2008 "On the other hand jolshopsatoxfam you do not possess even 1 silver medal from 25 years ago and yet your equally polarised opinions are apparently valuable."

No, i dont posess any medals, but i do posess an ability to look at and judge a situation objectively and no to be swayed by the need to court controversy and seek attention. He publicly decried a fellow athlete and human being by basically saying he has no right to be a runner and compete and earn his livelyhood, when in fact he has commited a crime and served his punishment. Even without the olmpics thing, Cram has still made numerous nasty and totally unnecessary comment to the tune of 'chambers really annoys me, i hate him and wish he would go away and never compete again'. He has made it so so personal.

Look at how Kelly Holmses opinion has changed as she has tried to grab some attention by slagging off chambers. Holmes, Cram...pathetic, no opinions of their own, just spouting whatever drivel they feel is going to get them maximum attention
The dirtiest race in history 2:21pm on 18 Jul 2008 Cram - sorry to say this but you are one of the most awful pundits and sports journalists around. You opinions are are generally based on a polarization of opinion. I lose count of the amount of times, say, you criticise athletes in heats for not running quick enough, then in the very next race you will then slate an athlete for running too fast in a heat!!! Your views are absolutely worthless, its unfortunate that just because you were a world class athlete you seem to think that your opinions are similarly valuable - they are not. You are completely out of touch, and you live in a hype driven media bubble.

I remember the shock and amazement on your face when at sheffield (i think) the crowd overwhelmingly supported Chambers. You couldnt believe that not everyone shared your OTT opinions on the matter, showing just how out of touch with reality you are, and how much of an inflated sense of your own worth you have. Just like Kelly Holmes, you are a great ex runner whose opinions are at best misguided and ignorant, and at worse just plain stupid and bitter.

You're an awful journalist Cram. Please stop spouting your comic routines from the rooftops and leave the serious comment to people whose opinion is actually worth listening to and is not driven by a desire for controversy and attention. You are an attention seeker Cram. You won one silver 25 years ago, nobody cares. Please dont think that anyone is actually waiting for, or caring about your opinion. Most people have no idea who you are. We know what your view on Chambers is, and its boring listening to you regurgitate the same utter garbage over and over again.
