Anyone else think team GB will not win as many medals as they were hoping for?

Yes, all the expectation and "bigging" up, leading to failure to deliver. I believe this could be the lowest hosting/winning medal games ever

Maybe the haul in Beijing was a one-off and we over achieved, but I think we'll get a fair few gold. If I was a betting man, 12.

No doubt we over achieved in Beijing and its not been a great start in the cycling which was a supposed nailed on medal.

I think we will pick up some unexpected ones though due to the 'home' factor

Im going with 15

These are the so called Austerity Games, because they are taking place in the backdrop of economic stagnation and recession, high unemployment, banking and eurozone crisis etc etc. Yet that's hardly been reflected in the ticket prices, some of which have been really overpriced.

Have a look at this. Astoundingly simple and 'kin brilliant. Everyone in the UK should buy a t shirt.

I didn't see that, but I did wonder why they had Tammi Gray thompson or whatever the **** her name is reporting on the cycling road race this morning. I mean what the **** does she know about cycling?

I'm still waiting for someone to explain how it works to me. Everyone seems incapable. It's truly remarkable. Over a 100 comments on my fb page and all the posts in this thread and the tour thread and still I don't know how it works. Amazing. I think they just make it up as they go along. Chancers.

And yet when you challenge the 'fans' about it they go ape ****.
