It's a comparison you've been making since the Games began so let's talk about it this morning - after last night's friendlies involving England Scotland Northern Ireland and Wales. Is it a fair comparison?

There wasn't the same kind of expectation on Team GB as there is on top footballers; there isn't the same level of scrutiny or media attention. The Olympians have 4 years of relative obscurity, the footballers are the focus of attention pretty much all year round.

You compare the salaries of the Olympians and the footballers - but which of you is interested in cycling swimming and modern pentathlon except every 4 years? (cue loads of you saying "I am!")
