His name was Raymond Arthur Bales. Apparently, when he first started at Norwich, Stars manager Dicky Wise could never remember "Raymond", and started calling him "Billy". It just stuck...

You mean Bartech?

It's a joke!!! Just relax...

There are plenty on here who are happy to tell you you're wrong!

But you just did!

It would be nice - and respectful - if you could learn to spell "Brennan"...

Now, let's look at my rough forecast from Thursday... Poland - Bartek didn't reach the 15, but Janowski was spot on, and Dudek was close. Denmark - Madsen was top scorer (as I thought he would be), Thomsen was only a couple out, and I over-rated Michelsen. GB - Bewley wasn't as good as we thought (or hoped), Woffy should have been closer (considering the start he had), and Lambert was pretty damn close. Australia - Jack Holder would probably have been closer, while Doyle was top scorer instead of second-highest. I clearly over-estimated Fricke. So, I did say that while the Aussies appeared to be the strongest on paper, a lot depended on Fricken and Lidsey; and that is why they failed. Denmark had Jensen, and nobody expected that performance. GB had both Bewley and Woffinden under-performing, which proved their undoing. One good race from either (when they slipped up), and we would have had it, but Kubera made the difference for Poland. Kubera and Jensen were the two I hadn't listed.

The theory was sound - in theory! It's amazing how much thought goes into stuff like this, but in practice, it rarely turns out the way it was planned.

Who? I noticed you made a mistake earlier, but I let you off...

They can't count that high???

Lambert letting Janowski past cost us the gold. Brennan not scoring points cost us the gold. Bewley only scoring 9 cost us the gold. Ellis not winning races cost us the gold. See? It was a team effort. All it would have taken was ONE race, and we would have had the gold.

Yep...

The ONLY way to let a team down is by not trying. EVERYBODY gave 110% tonight. Sometimes you perform well, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Welcome to life...

Even he was beaten tonight...

That's why I don't listen to them!

Dammit... I really didn't see that coming.

This is a kind of a war?

I told you, don't blame me!

Has there EVER been a World Cup, where, with three heats to go, all four teams could win?

Polish rules don't apply here, though...

How much are you putting on?

Everyone has been complaining about the track all week. Everyone has been writing off GB all week. How is everybody feeling right now?

Somebody said earlier, it could all come down to gate positions...

I said this could be tight...

Stop making sense! There is no room for that on here...
