I'm usually not a fan of these sort of things but fudge me this is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I agree, been brilliant so far...

It's all very slick and I am impressed with how they manage to pull it off. Most of it is still a load of guff.

Whoops. The BBC commentator mentioned West Ham during the `bubbles`segment. Now they`ll never give it up. `We were mentioned in the opening ceremony! That shows how central we are to Britain`s culture! Unlike Spuds!`.

Loved Abide with Me, always chokes me up was my Grandad's fav song and it was played at his funeral...

If we ever got to an FA Cup Final id lose it badly when it was sung

Yeah always moving. I really wanted to hear the whole stadium erupt in chorus to it though. Would have been fantastic. Missed opportunity to blow the world's collective mind.
