50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I reckon we could do about 25 golds the way things are going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFarmer 260 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 3rd overall would be an almost impossible achievement. Iv no idea what sports the Russians are usually getting all their golds in but they have had 32, 27, 23 golds a the last three Olympics. They are only on 3 golds at the moment. Would be unreal if we could somehow finish 3rd!!We MUST break the 20 barrier after tonight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we'd struggle to get 3rd to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Easily led by a sensationalist media?I'd say a bit of both.Though in general terms I think we like a moan and also hate to come across as arrogant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
