Press-ure's off

So have we established who is the best runner then? It's got to be Tony Daley or Gabby Agbonlahor for me.

[TRO]

Yes you know perfectly well but then again, even after the emphasis and you're still not understanding the subject, no wonder the sarcasm went over your head. Your refusal to apologise probably comes from your ignorance.

As for my commitment to Villa ? I've had season tickets more than likely as long as you . Not condescending and patronising ? Pull the other one.

Goodnight Dave. I'll be the bigger man here and leave you to your own reverence .

Could this thread bugger off to "Off Topic" ?

And another point successfully missed, which is strange for such a self-proclaimed genius. Nothing to do with your "commitment to Villa," just odd that you don't want to talk about the club on here yet you can find so much time for other things.

You started with insults so it's only fair that you finish with a few.  What with you being such a bigger man and all that.

Readit from the start then.

Show me where someone said he was shit. It's a simple enough request, or are you deliberately trying to wind people up?

No (I'm browsing on an iPad not a PC and you can single out the various comments) and No. I've been here for many years and that's not me. I don't do that.  I have a genuine disagreement with another members POV which I back up with facts of that days performances .

Don't worry. I've read it from the start and can confirm that you are, in fact, lying.

Here's Risso (Harding) and Tro (Cheswick) against the rest in the H&V therapy group:

"Stay off my side".

[hawkeye]

Sanctimonious - pretending to be better than other people.

[Dave Clark Five]

Warley Wonder but able to spell.

[waynejames]

Group hug called for.
Chill out people.

[pauliewalnuts]

One of the things I like about H&V is when you spend an evening away from it, then you come back, pick a thread at random, see there are three or four seperate running arguments going on, and every one of them looks utterly nuts but people are passionately getting stuck in.

I can't even work out what most of you are disagreeing on.

Could this thread bugger off to "Off Topic" ?

No, but you could.

Would anyone now like to have a serious, sensible debate about whether an athlete who broke many records at many distances was better than an athlete who was quicker?

We tried, but it was hijacked by Troll Right On.

I think he's reached the end of the road hasn't he?

I'd advise caution on assigning too much significance to records broken in the infancy of organised sport.  I suspect that the records of the day were based on the performances in west Europe and north America at most.  No account would have been taken of those further east and in Asia, Africa and the rest of the world.   

I'd argue therefore that we simply cannot say how good shrubb was relative to his own time let alone how he he compares with a great modern day runner.

[Dave Cooper please]

Right, having won gold medals at 800m, 1500m, 5000m AND the Marathon I feel that the greatest athlete in The World right now is David Weir.
When Bolt gives Mo Farah a race I might rate him as high.
