Adebayor's started so well for Man City
Belly Strop, Boys in a Strop, Diving partner blames Daley...
A selection of newspaper headlines from this morning's British papers - all talking about 14 year old Tom Daley's synchronised diving partner Blake Aldridge. Blake criticised Tom after their event yesterday in which they came 8th out of 8. Read Blake's comments in . splashed it on their front page.
When Nicky interviewed the pair immediately after their diving yesterday, they spoke to him for a couple of minutes - and there was some brief criticism from Blake about the way Tom had dived - before they were ushered away to undertake more interviews.
Talking to the newspapers a bit later on in the day, Blake didn't hold back.
So is Blake a bad loser? Did Daley let his nerves get the better of him? Does the story merit being front page news - this boy is FOURTEEN - he's got another four years of this pressure and attention in the run upto London. And why WAS Blake on the 'phone to his mum before their last dive in the this event? (by then they were both well out of medal contention so maybe it didn't mattter ...)
Have a look at Leon Taylor's blog - he's been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
