I haven't watched the P & P show for many years, but caught a bit while visiting a friend earlier. I wasn't paying full attention but I'm sure that one of them commented that a rider had cramp in his 'back legs'?

Yup, I heard that peach. I hate P&P with a passion. I am so glad I have Dave and Sean, however lame they may be.

Today, in relation to a fast descent from a Pyrennean summit, "don't try this at home"....

Lol!!

I wish I could. Can't wait to go to France next summer. The hills in Ireland/Scotland are pretty shitty/easy. I want a challenge!!

Who on ITV4 said, today, that Schleck should keep his revenge cool in the fridge of his hotel room for another 48 hours? :oops: :shock:

Could have been Sherwen. He was rather upset over the incident.

Not exactly a cliche, but i enjoyed: "moreau will be tickling the backend of charteau"

Phil and Paul are abit moronic and repetitive in their commentary but aside from their distinctive idiosyncrasies they come up with some classic stuff.

"Lance Armstrong took a long look in to the face of Jan Ulrich and said 'Well, are you coming or not?' and the answer is not!"


Didn't Paul go on to say something like "if he'd had any eyes behind those glasses, he would have seen Armstrong looking straight into them...." HA HA, what?!

I prefer Eurosport for the early part of the stage to tell me tactics etc, but when the excitment mounts, you can't beat Sir Phil Leg-it.

My wife was watching the ITV4 highlights the other day. When Paul and Phil do their Q&A bit she said they look like a pair of perverts. Harsh, but she had a point.

That was Imlach actually, the full quote was quite funny and was said tongue in cheek.

"Mano a mano" has to be one of my all time favourites.

Met PL and his wife at an airport earlier this year. Absolutely delightful man in person.

Sas-tray?

Liggett - RETIRE.

I like the commentry. Keep it up chaps.

I couldn't believe Liggett (IIRC) saying that Andy and Bertie were going up the Tourmalet like "... a pair of Siamese Twins". PC certainly hasn't gone mad with these two!

Classic at the weekend. Usual aerial shot of the peloton snaking through a pretty village with ok commentary. Then it lingered too long on a combined harvester in a field.
There was a 2-3 second pause then the line "Combined harvester in the field there...separating the wheat from the chaff"

During a sprint the other day:
" The man with 3 legs from the Isle of Man"
Class!

just then-'look at them as they come out of the ground-170 moles in action'

thanks phil!

great stage on the shomps today :roll:

Pross

Classic when Cav held up five fingers at the end. Sherwen "Yes, we all know how many you've won". A few minutes later Liggett "Cav has now won four stages on this Tour"
