I had fish and chips last night. I'm concerned the fish had a name. If it did, the Facebook patrol will be after me.
Obviously, to do what that dentist did was utterly cuntish, but the daft mob needs to stand down.

I'll be mightily pissed off if I make it to the afterlife and there are fucking lions there.

Arbitrary anniversaries are starting to do my tits in. Is it not enough to get attention for giving birth once a year. Yesterday I saw a typical '6 months ago I gave birth to...', topped today by '1 year ago today I took a pregnancy test and it was positive and so my child was born 17 weeks ago'.
I'm with you. That fucks me off. Aside from anything else, you can't have a 6 month anniversary. The clue's in the fucking name.

Mind the time he tried to read the teams out in a german style by just saying their first name and wanting the crowd to complete it? That was really horrific.
I was at that game, as my dad is a Dunfermline fan. Wasn't it the first game of the season and there'd been loads of new signings so no-one really knew who any of the players were?
"In goals, Number One, RYAAAAAANNNNNN..."

Who is the team leader? Landa is rumoured to be signing for Sky.
Nibali, I would guess, depending on how he's recovered from the Tour. He did look much stronger at the end of the Tour than in the middle of it, mysteriously.
Aye, Landa's off to Sky (ETA: apparently he is anyway). Sir Dave hates dopers so much he's signing guys from Astana.

I suspect Geraint Thomas will lead Sky at the Vuelta. Froome winning the Vuelta would be a major red flag.SSN stating Froome's keen on starting. As you've mentioned, Landa/Aru would be favourites.
Whilst the Giro/Vuelta double is achievable, the days of a Giro/Tourb or Tour/Vuelta doubles are gone. Keyboshed by those basing their whole season round Paris in July.
It might have been Porte, but I think he's leaving Sky at the end of the season, is he not?

What we thinking for La Vuelta? Landa is an obvious starter, Aru may well support him. Not sure if any of the Tour guys will be up there. Maybe the super strength veteran Valverde. Quintana is also a possibility. Rui Costa and TJVG will probably start after a curtailed TDF.

If Valverde starts, Valverde wins. The Spanish like Spanish riders winning the Vuelta

For what it's worth, I'm not actually a Froome fan. I think he's dull as dishwater.
I'm also not "naive" enough to think that no one's doping now. I just enjoy watching a bike race. If I spent the whole 3 weeks ripping it apart and assuming the whole lot was solely down to drug use, then I wouldn't enjoy watching any of it.
I can understand that. To be honest, I've been a sceptic ever since the Festina stuff in 1998. I can still watch it despite that, although I realise it's a massive turn off for a lot of people.

Good first post in the thread. Welcome further insightful delights.
Since you seem so knowledgeable, perhaps you can explain the performance of Alexandro Valverde who finished on the podium quite some time behind Froome?
A convicted cheat. Now riding better than ever, and peaking for the Classics and Tour. Also seems to have made a lot of people forget he was at the centre of the Puerto revelations years back.
You've been spending too long following me on Twitter
See also: record times being set for climbing mountains. Faster than the likes of Armstrong, Virenque, Contador (2009 version) etc, who were known to be off their tits at the time.
Obviously, it's not hard evidence, but it makes you wonder, all the same.

At the end of the day, if Quintana had been able to stick to the front group on stage 2 he'd have won it.
To immediately assume that Froome is doping isn't exactly taking in all the facts.
Such as...?
Actually, a lot of the problem is that if you hint Sky might be doping, people assume you think that only Sky might be doping. This is very definitely not the case.

That was good fucking steak. I ate some and broke the hour record later that day.Or Contador's steak?

It's amazing what effects you can have with magic pillows and eschewing NutellaTo all the anti British, drug conspiracy theorists on this thread. Get it right up yeas.
3 in 4 years.
And well done to Lizzie as well today.

As the journalist who had it in for Armstrong almost more than any other and detailed it all in his book, Seven Deadly Sins, he's now losing credibility at an alarming rate. Seems he now knows very little about anything. Getting ripped apart on Twitter as well.
Mainly by me
The interview with Paul Kimmage from a couple of days earlier is pretty scathing, when he refers to the Times as a Sky fanzine, or words to that effect. And to think how close the two of them were during the Armstrong years.

Fans of train wrecks might enjoy the interview with David Walsh from Off The Ball tonight

ETA: not that Off The Ball, obviously

I always felt Nick Compton was unjustly thrown aside.
With hindsight, Michael Carberry wasn't that bad either. He usually failed to build on decent starts, but at least he made decent starts

I'm not that clever, haha. I was just insinuating that it was hard to tell the difference between Heineken and pissWhat were you thinking? I took it as a slight against Verbruggen! (honest) lol

It's partly to try and negate the Aussie quick bowlers, and partly so the ECB can get the cash for 5 day tests.Cook: "We haven't asked for wickets to be like this"
Geoffrey: "I don't believe Alastair Cook"
The Oval will be a good batting track for the last Test, as it always is. If the other two are similar to Lord's, England really are face down in the brown stuff.
That went well, on both counts.

Haha. That's actually much cleverer than what I was thinking...Very droll, I suppose he did 'ken'.

Lucky it was a flat pitch which was impossible to get wickets on, otherwise that could have been embarrassing for England

This is utterly insane. They've totally chucked it.I just put this on, I know nothing about cricket but that's 2 guys out since i turned it on 5 minutes ago. This must be cricket #scenes?

Root and Buttler will have a century partnership. Then there will be another collapse.At this rate they would be doing well to reach 150!

Pathetic from Stokes. Too busy worrying about being hit with the ball to ground his bat. Idiot.

Have seen it claimed on Twitter by people that saw the incident that it was Heineken.Allegedly Froome had pish thrown over him today, scumbags.
There's a joke in there somewhere

Attacks from Contador, Nibali and Valverde, but easily closed down by Richie Porte. Thomas looks very comfy as well. Froome has the two strongest riders in the group as teammates.
Seems legit
