Never warmed to Johns despite him obviously being a good footballer. Ayrton Senna for the win.

I wanted to go Jackie Robinson, but I was amazed by the ease of Usain Bolt's wins in Beijing.

Bolt, a guy who actually looks like he is the fastest in the world to the naked eye in a sport usually measured by milliseconds.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Joey & Bolt. Johns was one of those blokes (cliche alert) that really did make it look effortless. He had such vision to go with the lavish ability too. & all whilst (allegedly) E'd off his **** most of the time too.

Bolt's almost literally superhuman. Love to see what he'll do to the 100m record when he actually goes at it balls out.

We have our first draw of the competition, couldn't be happier to send Johns on his way out of this competition so Senna goes through
