    I have to admit I would like to see London get it. It will be good for London - the aras where it will be held needs urgent treatment and it will get it with the Olympics coming here. Definately London.

    The Major Problem with London's bid will be transport. I was at Twickenham this weekend for the England v France match and the Train system is a shambles. But I agree that the Olymics would be great for rejuvinating some of the more rundown areas of London.

    I'd like to see a country that hasn't hosted the Olympics host it in 2012.

    Moscow - after so many countries boycotting the 1980 Games it would be nice to see some real Olympics in that city.

    But I guess it is highly unlikely that Moscow gets this one

    Paris. Only because it's my favorite place out of the five listed (although I haven't been to either Madrid or Moscow).

    I was in London a fortnight ago and I saw a sticker on the tube saying “London 2012”.
    I thought to myself; why not? Let’s give them the Olympics…
