The best thing about the Olympic is the feeling of pride and togetherness knowing a bunch of corporate sponsors have made billions from their association with it.

Yeah, but we get the honour of picking up the tab! Don't be so negative, this is a 50-50 partnership.

Its more to do with Traffic and stuff id assume because if are going to be played at same time as other events there will be so much traffic in london. and congestion.

Also like others have said its a chance for the whole country to get a feel and these were the stadia named when the bid was won.

The London transport network handles a million or two people coming in and out every day, condensed into peak periods. Surely it can handle a fraction of that number for the events because they are not taking place at the morning peak period?

Team GB boss Stuart Pearce has insisted he will consider Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere for selection, despite Arsene Wenger claiming it would be the "worst idea" for the 20-year-old.

A recurring ankle injury picked up in pre-season has seen Wilshere miss the entire season and, after last week's defeat against Wigan, Wenger confirmed the player would not be back in time to figure in England's Euro 2012 campaign.

However, Pearce is determined to pick Wilshere for the Olympic tournament, which will clash with Arsenal's pre-season schedule, and reminded Wenger that under Fifa rules he would be powerless to prevent him from doing so.

“We’re in constant contact with Arsenal and we’ll see how this one rides,” said Pearce. “But, will any manager get a veto over who I select? Of course not.

"We would obviously let them know if their players are in contention and the dates they would need to be made available.

“But we’re talking about Great Britain here. The Olympic Games. If you strip it down solely to the players, this is an opportunity of a lifetime.

“Lionel Messi took his club to court because he wanted to play at the Olympics. That’s the best player in the world.

“I wouldn’t want to get into a legal battle, but we’re not talking about taking players away for a whole season. We’re not even asking them to miss a competitive match.”

The potential conflict of interests will not be the first time Wenger and Pearce have clashed.

The pair have previously disagreed over Pearce’s selection of Wilshere and his Arsenal team-mate Theo Walcott for the England Under-21 squad.

Wenger has been quoted recently as saying: “The Olympics would be the worst idea for him [Wilshere].”

However, Pearce has since responded: “That’s his opinion. I can’t change his opinion, and it’s not of great concern to me.”

Pearce should fuck off

Actually Pearce, Barcelona took Argentina (well the FIFA ruling saying he had to participate) to court. And won.


He did go on to play but that was after talking with Guardiola, not because he took Barcelona to court.

Surely the rules only apply to the England team. The GB football team is an artificial entity not recognised either by Fifa and pretty much vehemently opposed by the Welsh, Scottish and Irish FAs.

What ground would Pierce be on if Northern Ireland were to stage a friendly with Wales during the Olympics and demanded access to the players?

And yes. Pierce should fuck off.

[GP]

Not only should he fuck off, he should also die.
